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.
I have an XDA11 and wish to show avi/divx etc movies on it once they have been put on an sd card and viewed through windows media player 9. These are currently not playable with the standard unit
Does any one know where to getvideo codecs for these
Thanks
use tcpmp, way better
Don't know how but somehow I've now lost the ability to play video (MP4) files on my SX66. Any thoughts to how to get it back. I had tried to install a MP4 player (PocketTV) but that does not see the files. The files are on a SD chip. Use to play but now they don't
Anyone with some thoughts?

I love how video looks on the kindle fire!
Most of my ripped movies in my "Movies" network share play, but VOBs don't (DVD MPEG). MX Video player and ArcMedia player claim to play VOBs, but they don't. ArcMedia can access the share but won't play the VOBs. Neither ArcMedia or MX will associate with the VOB extension, so Android doesn't know what player to launch if I access a VOB via network share in a file browser.
Anybody tried playing a ripped DVD with an android device? If you had success, what player did you use?
Has nobody tried or wanted to play ripped DVDs?
Your best bet after ripping them is converting the format if the video is unsupported by android if possible and the only ripping I do with DVD videos is with iTunes and movies

Oh and I'd try to convert to a more common format ex: mp4

VOB files are not really uncommon. That's the format of every DVD.
I use Daroon Player to play VOBs that are locally loaded on my Fire. I don't remember if I sideloaded it or not.
I have a few dvds i ripped to kindle format, i SWEAR there was an app a while ago to organize the movies and videos on your sd card in a very polished nice interface. It showed the cover of the dvd or movie and touch it to play it. I REALLY want it. Any help?
