DVD --> PC ---> smartphone

[JPS]

Hi all.

 

Some advice please. I would like to be able to transfer some of my DVDs to my new smartphone (Dell Streak) so that I can view on my daily commute. I am hoping to do this at no expense/little expense, could anyone suggest the best way of transferring a DVD to PC in a format that can then be transferred to my phone (mpg/avi etc). I have googled this but am confused as to what I actually require. Im not interested in cracking, changing regions or anything 'fancy', I just need to do to a DVD, what I do to a CD when I transfer to iPod.

 

Cheers guys in advance.

You'll need a DVD ripper, loads out there from free to paid. Jesterware do quite a good one. You may need an additional conversion tool to get the video in the right format. mp4 works on quite a few, but you'll need to check your user manual.
