dvd to mobile

[Guest gingerninja]

Has anyone tried this program. Trial available on coolsmartphone.com I have just tried in and the video looks good but audio is poor and there seems to be no way to adjust the the encoding settings. If anyone else has tried this let me know what you think.

Thanks

I have the trial version, but it keeps crashing in the middle of encoding :P

[Guest Simon Desser]

I've only used the trial but it seems crap! It took ages to encode five minutes of the movie, and the quality was pretty naff too!

Trial here too.

Tried to copy a track off a music DVD. Copied the wrong one despite previewing the one I wanted :?

Could be cool if they get it working. It says somewhere it's an early beta with bugs.

Didn't work for me. Errors all over the place

used this for my mate's XDA and its rubbish takes about 2 hours to rip and convert a film when you consider that following options are available..

1. DVDShrink (Free) can rip a dvd in about 30mins :P

2. DivxEncoder (Free) converts straight from a .vob aswell as mpeg avi divx. :D

and both have adjustable settings. :lol:

I have the app when it was released for the ppc it's ok

but there is better out there. I have found the quality intermittant as well.

I'll get round to testing different settings oneday as I use one of the higher ones and this could be the main problem.

THank you so much for this posting! I would've paid $19.99 for a Makayama software that would not even compare to these conversion software. Anyways, I have a question though. How can you actually put a subtitle in the .avi file? I am using DVD shrink to convert original DVD's so I can burn it and use the DIVXencoder to convert it to Smartphone format. What I don't get is how I will put the subtitles there? Also, how come when you convert the movie files via DIVXencoder, it doesn't play on my computer. ANy help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I recently downloaded a DIVX player for the PC at http://www.divx.com/divx/download/

It's quite a large program but it seems to play all DIVX files so far.

Not sure on the subtitle question although I have seen the option available on another program. I've never used DVD shrink. I'll try and get subtitles working but I don't know how the text is gonna look on the SPV screen. Also I think the subtitles will be encoded into the movie so I don't think they can be switched on/off.

I use DVD decrypter and then PocketDivXEncoder.

It's very easy to use :)

There are many tools to rip DVD's, see http://www.pockettv.com/encoding.html for some pointers. SmartRipper works fine, but there are many others.

Once you've got the vob files, you can converts them to one of the format that can be played on Smartphone (WMV, DivX, MPEG, etc).

For MPEG use the Simple Guide for making MPEG files optimized for Smartphone.

Use PocketTV Classic (free) to play MPEG's on Smartphone.
