Before showing you guy the text about how to convert DVD to iPhone 4 (IOS 4), let's make a quick review of the Apple iPhone 4 which attracts the globe public in 2010. Apple iPhone 4 has an all-new display, as well. Apple is calling the LED backlit, 960 x 640 IPS screen the "Retina Display" due to its high resolution and pixel density. At the same 3.5-inches as the older screens, the new display manages an insane 326ppi pixel density along with an 800:1 contrast ratio. Steve made a huge point about the science behind this technology during his keynote, claiming that the resolution of the screen essentially tops what is perceivable by the human eye. There have been some debates as to whether or not this argument holds water, but we can tell you this: to our eyes, there has never been a more detailed, clear, or viewable screen on any mobile device. All these things make it be definitely perfect for watching videos on the go with it. Then, I will give you guys a detailed account of converting DVDs to iPhone 4...

Step 1 Launch iFunia DVD to iPhone 4 Converter and load your DVD

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 device in the Convert-to drop-down menu. You can also change the output settings to make the video look the best on iPhone. Here I set the output video format to 'iPhone MPEG-4 (640*480) Video (*.mp4)', Video Codec as 'H.264', Resolution as '640*480', Bitrate as '768', 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 Mac and Transfer/Sync to iTunes
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.
After conversion, you can minimize the DVD to iPhone converter's window. Then attach your iPhone to the computer and sync it with iTunes. Check the option "Automatically sync songs and videos to my iPhone" so your music and video from the iTunes library will automatically snyc to your iPhone. Read the detailed guide from here.
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, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4-compatible versions of it and share it with the world. After all, it’s your video!
