am looking for some software to convert some movies into the .3gp format so i can shrink them and play them on my mobile phone.

apparently you can shrink dvd's to about 60mb for a 90 minute film, does anyone know what software i need?

basically, you have to recompress the dvd just as if you were gonna recode to to svcd/vcd ect... what compression a phone uses i dunno, aint got a mobile phone. You will lose alot of quality of course, but I'm sure you know that. This address http://forum.doom9.org has threads where they talk about that in detail, but it might be complicated, like I said I don't have a mobile. good luck
