Given that my soon-to-arrive iPhone 4 will feature a super duper Retina Display, will I have to re-rip all of the movies that I play on my current phone to take advantage of the new display?
I fear I know the answer.

Well, that's good news, however, my current movies at 480 pixels wide aren't 960 pixels wide.
What don't I understand?

It will just zoom in/upscale effectively, in the same manner that the iPhone 4 upscales apps.

Got it, thanks. I hope the upscaling doesn't disappoint.

From all accounts, since the pixels are so tight anyway, I don't think it'll be noticeable.

DVDs are stored at 720x480 so if you downscaled to 480 wide for your iPhone encodes you threw away half the picture. Upscaling will make the picture bigger, but won't recover the quality that was already thrown away. Also the new iPhone's A4 chip supports H.264 High Profile, which improves compression efficiency.
Download the HandBrake nightly and use the iPad preset for your iPhone 4 for DVD sources. For HD sources, drop the width/height on the iPad preset from 1024/768 to 960/640.

Thanks. With the exception of movies purchased via iTunes store, they're all movies I ripped using the iPod/iPhone setting in Handbrake...which means I need to rerip them. Ugh!

I keep all my rips around on disk... only about 5GB for a main movie rip. That way I can easily reencode as necessary for the device of the week.

Why don’t you re-rip one of them and compare it to the old rip on the display. If the difference doesn’t bother you, don’t redo the rest. If it does, do.
Actually, for that matter, just watch an already-ripped one without doing anything else. If you don’t think the quality is terrible, don’t worry about it.
