What is the easiest and/or best way to rip a HD DVD movie to an iPhone?

I guess I worded it wrong? I want a movie that I have on HD DVD to be able to be played on my iPhone. I know there are plenty of DVD to iPhone converters, but what about HD DVD to iPhone?

You have to rip the disc with something like Slysoft AnyDVD HD, then demux the video and audio from the main movie files with something like Evo demux, then depending on the format you have to get that into an encoder which isnt easy if its a VC1 video stream you have to frameserve it using graphedit and a vc1 decoder then using Avisynth load that into an encoder.

Its easier just to download the rip of whatever hd dvd you have and encode from that.

It's the format that should have won, but of course money talks. Oh well :) I'll enjoy my limited range of ?2.99 HD DVDs for now(Y))

That's a LOT of downscalling to do.

Rip the HD-DVD (don't even know if someone bothered to create a decryption utility) and use something like SUPER or MediaConverter to convert to an iPhone friendly format. But it seems to me like putting 20Kg of stuff into a 1Kg bag (or something like that).

You'd be better of getting it from a DVD and then downscalling to iPhone resolution.

Yes, but I don't have the DVD.

[D. S. Veteran]

Yes, but I don't have the DVD.

I understand that. Couldn't you rent it?

I really don't know of any HD-DVD all-in-one ripping solutions. Because the format died, any developments in that area died out. :wacko:

If you can get your hands of software to rip the HD-DVD to your hard-drive, then just follow the steps as you would for getting any other media on the iPhone: convert to an iPhone friendly format and codec.

But the HD-DVD really is overkill :/

I've been ripping HD-DVD to iTunes so I can watch stuff on my MacBook.

Best follow this tutorial:

After you've merged both the sound and video using mkvmerge, get a copy of Handbrake and select the iPhone setting.
