Guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Hi there, There are a lot of guides out there for converting DVD into DivX (MPEG4). I use SimpleDivX which takes the movie straight from the DVD and puts it into an AVI file. A guide on how to do this can be found here: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/49/59/ There are a few things you'll have to download and install on your PC: SimpleDivX: http://www.simpledivx.org/main/ Lame MP3 Codec: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Lame_Encoder.htm When using the guide above, just remember to set the width to "320" and not "640" as shown in the guide. This will set it to the correct resolution for a QVGA Pocket PC device like the Vario. Have a play with it and if you get stuck, there are a lot more tips and tutorials at Video Help: http://www.dvdrhelp.com Have fun! :)
Guest Sholto Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 WKD My son! Cheers! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I find Lathe plus TCPMP works wonders. A full episode of a 45min TV program will be around 90Mb with Lathe's default settings, and look as good as a file three or more times the size. Well worth a look. Engadget review - here Lathe ($4.95) - here TCPMP (free) - here Sholto
Guest squilla Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I used to use Smartmovie on a UIQ platform, is it available for PPC?
Guest orangezorki Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 There's a great progam called Handbrake around which will convert your DVDs into suitable .avi files - I used a rate of about 3Mb/min, and it looked pretty good and was also fairly smooth. It's mainly a Mac application, but there is a Windows beta, I believe. David.
Guest wseed Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 What about software for playback? I tried playing a divx file in media player and it didn't want to know. is there a codec or app I can use?
Guest wez_p Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 as mentioned further up mate, TCPMP works a treat for .avi files ;) http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Guest wseed Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks wez_p, I feel a bit of an idiot now I read that post and mixed it up with tmpenc the software used to encode the files. :oops:
