Best Way to Rip Films for Phones

[Brand86]

Right, just got the new Galaxy S2 and keen to rip some films onto my PC and put them on my phone.

What's the best software/method for doing this, what would people recommend?

Thanks!

Handbrake.

I've done 200+ DVDs using this.

Mac the ripper & handbrake if you've got a mac

I've got a PC so that...can I DL Handbrake for free, and will it handle Blurays (even if the HD quality is lost)?

DVDFab, brilliant piece of software.

Actually, +1.

I totally forgot, I used DVDFab to rip the DVDs, then handbrake to batch convert from VOB to MP4/M4A.

Can't handbrake do both bits then?

No mate, handbrake converts it into whatever format you want.

You use one piece of software to rip and another to convert in most cases

I did use handbrake to rip at first, but it was slow.

DVDFab rips in 10/15mins each, then I ran a batch on handbrake each night for 20+ converts.

Wicked thanks guys!

Anyone got an S2 on here? Bit of a n00b as I'm struggling to copy films / music from Kies onto the phone, do I need to USB connect or can I do it via internet / wifi?

DVDFab rips straight to MP4 mate, why were you converting as well?
Been using it a lot recently. Very good program

Will rip any DVD to pretty much any format you want! (excluding .divx .M4A)

 

[Brand86]

Do you know what format I will need for my phone at all mate?

No idea man.
Most phones are .3GP, which DVDFab rips straight to, without the need for a separate conversion.
Give it a try and see if it works!

Because it saved me time.

To convert and rip in one go, took say 30-40 mins before I could load another DVD.

So, I'd rip first (DVFab) which took 10mins (so I'd rip 4 DVDs in the same time), then set Handbrake to run overnight for 10+hours for the rips into .mp4.

Worked loads faster for me.

I've got sa Galaxy S and Kies software is terrible. Connect the USB and go to My computer. You should see the phone/storage device so just copy the files over that way, thats what i do and it saves so much time.
You might have to change the settings in the phone itself though, connect as mass storage instead of connectiong to Kies.
Like i said, i have the S so they might have changed things for the S2.
Hope it works though

Get from their website. I user the free one.

I'm sure there's a trial for the Bluray one.
