How to convert movies on DVD and Blu-ray discs to play on HTC One X+

The HTC One X+ for AT&T is an enhanced version of the HTC One X. A quad-core processor, 64GB of storage and a massive 4.7-inch (1,280x720-pixel) Super LCD 2 screen make the HTC One X+ very suitable for storing movies and videos, and watching them wherever you go.



If you have a HTC One X+, you can create MP4 video files for your Smartphone from the movies or TV-shows in your DVD & Blu-ray collection. (BTW, the MP4 video converted from DVDs & BDs can be also used other media devices like Apple iPad mini ) To do this, you will need to have a third party DVD decryption and conversion software, because general DVDs and Blu-rays are encrypted, and the built-in video player app of HTC One X+ does not read and play the .VOB video file on DVD disc and .M2TS video file on Blu-ray disc.

The Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper is highly recommended here. This software is specially designed to decrypt different DVD & Blu-ray discs, and convert (re-encode) the video contents on discs to a wide range of SD and HD video file formats. I think it is the best DVD ripper/converter to do the DVD to HTC One X+ digitizing job.

Instructions of ripping a DVD or Blu-ray to HTC One X+ with Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper

Step 1: Free download Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper, and install it onto your computer.

Step 2: Load the DVD or Blu-ray source file. Insert the DVD or Blu-ray that you want to convert to your HTC One X+ into your computer’s DVD Rom or BD Rom. Launch the Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper. At top left of its home screen, click the "Load Blu-ray" or "Load DVD" disc icon, and this software will automatically load M2TS files or VOB files from your computer’s disc drive to it. By the way, this software also supports DVD/BD folder and ISO/IFO file input.



Step 3: Select output file format for HTC One X+. Click on the “Profile” drop-down menu and choose a HTC One X+ supported video file format from the output format list. In addition, this ripper allows you to customize the output quality by adapting video and audio parameters(bit rate, frame rate, screen ratio, audio channel, etc). Just click “Settings” to access its settings panel.



Here i advise you to choose MP4 (codec: H.264, size: 1280*720 pixel, bit rate: 1200kbps, frame rate: 24fps) for ripping DVD to HTC One X+, and MP4 (codec: H.264, size: 1920*1080 pixel, bit rate: 2000kbps, frame rate: 24fps) for ripping Blu-ray to HTC One X+.

Step 4: Start ripping the DVD or Blu-ray. After completing all the settings above, click the Start button to let the software start to rip and convert the DVD or Blu-ray to HTC One X+ supported file format. Once the ripping/converting process is completed, you can click Open button to find the output video file and transfer it to your HTC One X+ for watching. That’s it.
