But the problem is, what formats supported by iPhone 4, and how to rip DVD movies had to theiPhone 4 compatible formats. Well, my favorite DVD ripping tool is Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 Converter.

Now get your DVD disc and insert it. Then run Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 Converter on your PC and click the big button "Load..." to load your DVD disk, you may see the name of DVD Movie disk if you insert DVD disk before running this DVD ripper tool (see the image below to have an idea). This may take up to a minute or two depending on the contents of the DVD and the speed of your optical drive.
[edit] Step 2 Output Settings for iPhone 4
In the Destination-Setup section of the interface, choose the right preset for your iPhone 4 device in the Convert-to drop-down menu. You can also change the output settings to make the video look the best on iPhone 4. Here I set the output video format to 'iPhone 4 MPEG-4 (640*480) Video (*.mp4)', Video Codec as 'H.264', Resolution as '640*480', Bitrate as '1500', Frame Rate as '30', Audio Codec as 'AAC' by default. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size.

Please note the ripping time will depend on several variables including: the duration of the video file, the speed of your computer, what other activity your computer is currently doing, the codec you selected (H264 or MP4) and the bitrate you set.

Now that you've converted the DVD video into a usable iPhone 4 ready-format, you can do what you like with it. Pull it into iMovie and create e-mail, Web, YouTube and iPhone 4-compatible versions of it and share it with the world. After all, it’s your video!
This is not true. Ripping a DVD does not mean you own the video. If it is copyrighted the copyright is still in force. Depending on where you live it may be legal to convert the format for your own personal use but no where in the world are you now considered the owner of the file content. You cannot legally post the file you created. MobileRead does not condone violating copyright laws.
