h.264 on iPhone

hi, has someone out there had any luck converting a dvd to h.264, and playing in on iphone? I have tried several differnt ways and all i get is "could not copy to iphone, cuz iphone does not support this format". Mpeg 4 work just fine. I m useing pop** 2 for my coverting via video ts files. Any feedback would be appreciated. I' m basicly trying to save space by converting as small as possible, with the best posible resolution.

ibook G4, iphone 4GB, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Have you tried using Visual Hub with the iTunes setting, and the H.264 box checked? It's pretty straightforward.

You would probably want to use MacTheRipper first to pull the main feature files off the DVD.

I do use MTR, but i havent users visual hub. At first i was useing handbreak, until some of my convertions were coming out without sound. So i bought popcorn 2 thinking this would help, it did as far as the sound goes, i'l have to do more research. I think Im following the specs. For the iPhone, but I just don't get it.

I have been using latest version of handbrake with no problems. I am converting my dvds to both Apple TV and Iphone format. using the pre-built settings for Appletv and Ipod.

I had trouble converting a video file for synching to my i phone, but managed to get it to work as follows. Hope this is helpful...

1) Converted the original file to H264 format using MPEG Streamclip (free download)
2) Import the new file into itunes library
3) Select the new file in the i tunes library, click on Advaned in the menu bar and select convert to I pod format
4) Put i phone in the docking station and then click on video tab to select the file to be synched.
