Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to carry part of your movie collection on your iPhone anywhere you go? What if I told you that you could get the software to do it for free? iSkysoft, the developer of the DVD to iPhone converter is promoting this product via their Facebook page with a free copy of the application.
Once you download and install the application you will be able to convert DVD’s to a format that is compatible with your iPhone. Follow the guide below to walk you through the steps necessary to rip DVD’s and convert the movie files to format that is compatible with your iPhone.
Note: I used iSkysoft DVD to iPhone Converter for Windows, but they do have a Mac version.

How to Transfer a DVD Movie to Your iPhone
1. Click on the small arrow next to the Load DVD button.
2. Click on one of the options from the list. Depending on the number of DVD drives you have they will appear on this list. You will also have the option to load the following:

I used the Load DVD option from the list for this tutorial.

3. When the DVD is done loading, all of the video files will be listed. Look for the title/file that is the longest (length of the movie) and select it from the list.
