Hackszine has a dead simple guide to putting DVDs on your iPhone using the popular open source MPEG-4 ripper/converter Handbrake.

While [Handbrake][2] is cross-platform and should work with either Mac or Windows, I've only tested this method on a Mac. 

To rip a DVD just fire up Handbrake and select your disk. If you're a video guru you can tinker with Handbrake's default settings and probably obtain a higher quality recording, but I left things as they were and ended up with 1.3 GB file that looked perfectly fine on the iPhone's diminished screen.

For more details and complete instructions [head over to Hackszine][1]. And of course keep in mind that you should only do this with movies and DVDs you legally own.
