I use an app called handbrake. It has preset settings for all types of devices. I would recommend you look into this app. I'm sure somebody can post and let you know if you want to take out the credits that might make it a little smaller. If the movies are bought through iTunes then you can just sync them to your phone. Handbrakes is a ripping software that requires you to have the DVD.
