If you’ve got a 4th-generation iPhone (“iPhone 4”), one of the things you probably want to do is put DVD movies on it. Since the new iPhone 4 display has 960*640 resolution, movies will do look great on the new device, and it’s a lot easier to carry around than a laptop or portable DVD player. But the problem is, what formats supported by iPhone 4, and how to rip DVD movies had to the iPhone 4 compatible formats. Well, my favorite tool is Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 Converter. It helps you easily convert both encrypted and unencrypted DVDs to iPhone 4 supported formats with perfect quality on PC. You don't need to know about video formats or settings to convert DVD to iPhone 4 - just run the Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 converter, open DVD, select a ready-made preset, and hit Start. Here are the easy steps to rip DVD movies to iPhone 4.
Things You'll Need
* An iPhone 4
* A DVD movie you want to copy
* Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 Converter (download the free trial version)
Step 1 Launch Aneesoft DVD to iPhone 4 Converter and load your DVD
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.
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.
Step 3 Convert DVD to iPhone 4 on PC
Now you may click the big button "Start" to begin converting DVD movies onto your hard disk. The Convert progress bar shows you how much of the convert process is completed. 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.
