Guest dalecon Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Found this one - this uses PocketDivXEncoder http://img45.exs.cx/img45/8438/dvdtoavi0iy.jpg
Guest tonijj Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Do you have to use DVD shrink? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DVD Shrink makes an .iso of the DVD disc, and well, its about 4.3GB, not smartphone friendly :) I thought you already had a .avi or .mpeg movie that you wanted to convert to a smartphone friendly format and size. Sorry about that, so ok, you got a DVD you want to squezze down the phone eh? There is an application called DVD to mobile that does that for you, please see: DVD-to-mobile Like the guide you found though, especially the no.1 step including a picture, "Load a DVD into your DVD-drive" , who would have thought :D :D

Guest dalecon Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 cheers for that Do you know free dvd shrink program?
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 'DVD Shrink' is a freeware: http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html
Guest tonijj Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 cheers for that Do you know free dvd shrink program? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunately the DVD 2 Mobile application is not free, but you could convert your dvd movie to a small .avi file with some DivX coders, most likely free if you google for a minute or so, then just use PocketDivX encoder to convert it to a smartphone friendly format. More steps, but free :) Gpc: Yeah I know that the disc has to be in the device for it to backup, just the extraordinary information that amused me a bit :D Cheers
