• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

ENV-2?
I use handbrake to convert the movie into an MP4 and when I swing it over to my Micro SD card and check the video through my phone, It doesn't work. I have sound but no video. I have tried formatted the SD card and am at a loss here. Any help?
I have a 2.4 GHz macbook running snow leopard with the newest version of Itunes.

My BEST guess is the mp4 does not contain video in the correct codec that your phone will play.

Handbrake defaults to H.264. Look up your phones video capabilities, and in the video section of handbrake you may just want to try adjusting the codec to another setting (ie: Mpeg-4 (ffmpeg).
