Handbrake
Might want to use Mac the Ripper first to rip your DVD and then use Handbrake to encode for your iPhone

I'd use Handbrake to rip said DVD and then use the (unfortunately no longer supported) iSquint to do the latter.
Why use iSquint when Handbrake can encode for the iPhone directly? I use the Apple/Universal setting so I can also get decent quality on my media Mac Mini.
By the way, Handbrake doesn't rip. It encodes the video from the DVD. Ripping gives you a copy of the DVD. MacTheRipper or FairMount are free apps that allow you to rip. Ripit is a nice pay-for app that works well.

Converted 99% of my DVD collection for my ATV and iPhone without any issue and worked fast and is very very simple.

If you're on a PC, I found this to be the easiest:
DVD in drive -> rip it to your hard drive with DVD Decrypter -> encode it with Videora (all free applications).
The reason I rip it to the hard drive first is that it makes it much faster (IMO) to encode, and sometimes DVDs have scratches or errors on them that DVD decrypter seems to take care of.
But any of the methods mentioned before me work well too. Have fun!

Another vote for Handbrake here. Although once I'm out of college and am able to put together a nice HTPC/home theater, I'll probably buy AnyDVD. It's much faster, has more support, and handles more formats. Fairly expensive, though, which is why Handbrake alone will suffice for now.
Might still use Handbrake to encode for devices like the iPhone, though.

Hi,
I used handbreak to convert an AVI file to mp4. The file was 2hr 19 min in length about 6GB. UFC 97
any way handbreak did the job. It took about 1 and 1/2 hours. Then i put in itunes and try to put on the phone. But itunes says this file is not supported for iphone.
So i select the video then go to advanced tab and convert to iphone support.
THIS TOOK OVER 20 HOURS TO CONVERT TO IPHONE IN ITUNES WTF!!!!!
