Writen by Ron vanbeek, July 09th, 2007

Question: iPhone is the best 3.5-inch widescreen iPod for playing videos, TV shows and movies. I would like to load my DVDs and video clips downloaded from Internet into my iPhone, and enjoy them on the travel.
My question is: which DVD to iPhone video converter is the best software I need? I wish that it is fast and simple-to-handle, the output video and audio are completed sync and high-quality. Certainly, the created video files should play nice on my iPhone. --- Tony Trout
