what is the best way to rip movies onto iPhone?

k..
I searched for this problem on the site but couldn't find what I needed..

anyways..

I downloaded VLC but every time I start Handbrake, and click on "source" and then click on "the departed" (my own movie i own) then it says "handbreak could not find VLC"

I've tried "scanning anyway" but I only end up getting 3 chapters of the movie with the longest one being 4 minutes.. is there a step I've missed?

AFAIK, VLC is for viewing movies (video).

Handbreak is for converting from the VIDEO_TS files to mp4, avi, etc.

So I am confused as to why Handbreak is wanting to find VLC.

ohh okay..

I found out the source of the problem.. turns out I didn't fully install VLC into my applications..

I downloaded 0.9.3 version of Handbreak and it said this...

"No more internal DVD decryption
Yeah, we know, no one reading this is going "Oh wow, no more DVD decryption--what a great new feature!" but...deal.

HandBrake will dynamically load VLC's copy of libdvdcss if you have it in your Applications folder in Mac OS X, and if you're on Linux, and you want to live on the wild side, you can install libdvdcss on your system and get the same effect.

Translation of the last paragraph from nerdese:

We're not about to stop you from choosing to decrypt DVDs. If you're on a Mac, and you have VLC 0.9.x installed, you won't even notice the internal capability's gone. If you're on Linux, all you have to do is install a library."

is it working now for you?

 

[megadon]

is it working now for you?

yes yes...
I officially have my first movie on here....


I guess the only thing is I have to mess around with the size of the movie so when its in wide screen it takes a little more room on the upper and lower parts, but other than that everything is perfect..
but quality is very good and it took around 37 minutes for it to rip..

thanks duke..

I see. Thanks.

I have an earlier version of Handbrake and haven't updated to the 0.9.3 version. So this has not been an issue for me.
