I found this great little programme which can be used to rip cd's to MP3 or convert wav files to MP3 - then compress them to a quarter of their size. So you can get 100 cd's on a 1GB card.
It will also compress M3U files and MP3 to a sensible size for ringtones.

hi what is the best encoder and player to put on the xda2s ??? thanks in advance
Encode in WMV using windows media encoder and play in windows media player.
Google encoding wmv for ppc and you'll find a guide on the best configuration for file size to quality.
I found BetaPlayer to be very good as a player: http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/
I used PocketDivxEncoder to make files small enough to fit on my 1GB SD card: http://divx.ppccool.com/
thanks for the tips i will give them a go cheers
Good program
Hi,
I like using DVD2PPC, it plugs into windows media player and is very easy to use. You just do three clicks and sit back and it does all the rest. Really cool stuff, I've ripped 25 movies so far with it and I put two movies at a time on my 1 GIG sd card to watch. Cheers.

how to compress
can some one help me how to compress movies to fit 1 GB card
How many movies can be put on on 1 GB card !!
i use wmv convertor(for wmv files) and pocket divx encoder (for all other files).
the hindi/indian movies take around 250-320 MB, bcoz of their length.
Thanks
Well where can i find those Software
also can i ripp in the whole movie and how long does it take to rip in a movie of about 90 mins
DVD2ppc
Hey guys
I uploaded the full version of DVD2PPC at the ftp site under the uploads folder. Enjoy! Cheers.

i'm converting avi files...
90 mins of video takes around 6-10 mins.. depending in the quality and computer speed.
Hey you might wanna try to use windows movie maker which comes as standard on any win xp system, it already has a default setting to change full size movies down to the right size for the BA. it seems a bit slow though, apart from that it works excellently!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thats what i use, and i find it to be the best program to use for putting movies on xda2s. i can get 2movies on 256mb card, i reckon 8movies on 1gb.
Betaplayer seems to work the best... I've tried the default media player (garbage) and VLC. If I try to play a high bitrate movie over 802.11b it will have buffering issues. The trick is that the file needs to no larger than 320x240 otherwise it will use precious processing cycles to resize the video.
It's kind of weird though... If I watch my web server it uploads around 100 kilobytes/sec normally and when the buffer underruns and it's actually trying to refill the buffer it goes around 300 kilobytes/sec. I've always wondered why it can't deal with keeping the buffer full...? Or is it too busy rendering the video?
@shane:
did it get removed? i looked at the uploads folder on the ftp site and it aint there.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there was away i can recude my MP3 file sizes so i can store more songs on my mobile. Is there away?
Thanks

Very simple! Reduce the quality (bps). High quality means large files but you can still enjoy decent music at 96kbps (kilo bits per second) with about 2 megs. per song.
Try google for a free converter.
Also, if your phone does not support stereo playback, then you can further reduce MP3 filesize by converting your MP3 files from stereo to mono.
Goodluck
Very easy actually. If you have the CD, wack it in the CD drive and in media player adjust the Rip settings. The smaller the file size, the worse quality it will be in most cases. If you dont have the CD the best thing to do is go to www.google.com and search for a free mp3 converter. I hope this helps.
when I owned Siemens SL45i I've used "AudioConverter Studio" to reduce bitrate of MP3s. http://www.ManiacTools.com
You can give it a set of files, select output quality, press "convert" and all is done.
Or you can convert files to OGG format. They are typically smaller than MP3s with the same quality. There are some freeware converters on net.
Convert the files on OGG format, which btw is greatly compressed without affecting quality and then use MortPlayer to play your tunes.
cdex is a freeware open source ripper and reconverter it's pretty good
Buy larger storage
This is just another option for compression option have been stated at above threads
buy a larger storage card so you can store more mp3.
I have 1g SD so I dont convert my mp3 anymore. Converting it to smaller will lost it quality. I just copy music I like to carry then earase it and copy another set after sometime, I keep my collection at the PC.
I love that these phones can play h264 and mkv, but how can I get large movie files to my sd card. With flash drives I jus format them in ntfs, but I don't think that would be a good idea for my memory card. Any suggestions?

The only way would be to split your video files so that they're <4GB. Your memory card is formatted in FAT/FAT32 and by definition, the largest possible file size is 4GB.
And shat man, what are you doing putting those huge files on your phone anyways? You can't convert them to XviD or something? Seems like a waste of space to keep video files that large.
There 720 files from my computer why convert them when they look so pretty, besides I swap them out a lot don't have time for converting.

Hi Most of my songs are in m4a format that i keep on my phone while there great quality they take up a ton of space. So I was wondering what would be the best format to convert my songs to and at what bit rate while still retaining good quality sound and small file size
If you convert your files directly into a different format, you'll lose quality as you will be converting compressed to compressed audio (transcoding). You need to convert from the original cd, .wav or .flac files to maintain the quality of your music.
If you have these originals, try using foobar to convert them to MP3, either V0 (bigger files, better sound) or V2 (usually very difficult to tell the difference but a smaller file) with the LAME codec. You should be able to find these programmes and guides for using them by doing a google search.
[Edit] The above assumes that your .m4a files are not lossless. How big are the files and at what bitrate? If they are a good way above 320kbps then they will already be lossless and you convert directly. If not, the above applies. Right click and properties to have a check, or check using foobar.
I have a bunch of FLACs loaded in my foobar and that's how I listen them. I haven't found any easy way convert/upload the files into some cloud storage. I can convert the files to mp3 and then upload to Google Music, but it's a major pita. I want something that works on the fly. Anything like that exists?
You don't need to convert them, the Google music uploader will do that for you.
Or select them in foobar, choose convert and choose a folder in Dropbox/box/copy as the output folder.
Edit: typos.
I believe google music uploader automatically converts flac files to 320kbps mp3 files
