I've been seeking for the best iPhone DVD + Video converter software but every time I bump across a suggestion from a friend - I land up disappointed

I seem to have downloaded and tried most of them, usually they land up messing your Codecs (I use K-Lite Mega codec pack) or they don't give good quality outputs.

There seems to loads of these 3rd party apps. Please do a Google on "iPhone video converter" and you will find a list of them from the beginning of the search results.

Request you to please help me asses for the best one out there, my particulars are:
# Top quality video output
# Stable
# Doesn't mess up your codecs or registry
# Supports maximum video formats
# I don't care about speed, as the slower it takes the better the output

Thanks once again!

Have you tried Videora iPhone Converter (along with DVD Decrypter)?

You read my mind! Before reading this thread I was on their website.
I will surely give them a try, thanks :-)

I used DVD Decrypter to rip my Superman Returns DVD. After running the DVD Crypter output file on the Videora software and selecting the H.246 AviSynth profile does output a great quality video but it loose it audio/video sync from the beginning of the movie.

I'm also testing it under the H.264 Advanced and H.264 lower profiles, will keep this thread update with the results.

p.s. anyone can do a test on ImTOO iPhone Video Convertr and can share the results?

Thanks!

There's a freebie out there that i've been using for awhile. It's called MacTheRipper. It will also strip most protection stuff off too. http://www.mactheripper.org/
Also, Roxio Toast or Popcorn does a great job on un-protected disks. If you don't like the way MacTheRipper works, you can always just use it to strip the protection and then use Toast or Popcorn to convert that file!

For Mac, it would be Mactheripper to extract the movie, and Compressor to make it for iPhone.

Don't know bout PC, sorry.

Thanks to both of you. Still looking for Windows based converters.

Oops, sorry about that. You didn't specify Windows OS in your post and I assumed by your avatar that you were looking for a Mac solution. I don't know what they are called, but Roxio makes versions of their sw for Windows too.

I like Alldj Video Converter Platium so far. Very easy to use and powerful options.
Alldj Video Converter Platinum, convert video to MP4, video to AVI, video to FLV, video to iPod, video to iPhone, video to PSP, video to Zune, video to 3GP

http://www.cucusoft.com/ seems to be popular as well. I'm giong to try it and compair them both

For Mac, I used Handbrake to RIP DVD without all that preview junk. It's easy and only took me to RIP 104min movie in 30min.

I have tried a lot of these and none of them can get South Park episodes under 80mb does anyone know of a way? I remember seeing one time a guy had them like 50mb, yeah crappy quality but I don't care I just want a small file size

Looks like there are so many video converters for iPhone. I've been useing ArcSoft Media Conveter for iPhone, pretty easy-to-use and its UI looks so cool. Now I'm looking forward to the media converter for PSP version.

For PC, install DVD43 and then use either Handbrake or DVD Catalyst Free. Handbrake has lots of nerd knobs, but is still pretty easy to use. DVD Catalyst Free is as easy as it gets. One thing that makes me use Handbrake, though, is that it can perform an anamorphic conversion, which basically means that playback on the iPhone will automatically select the correct aspect ratio for the iPhone/DVD combination.
