What is the best software for converting a DVD to a small format for watching in a phone or tablet? Like in .AVI format? I used to use SPB Mobile DVD but that isn't supported anymore. Thank you!

I have ripped movies from dvds and converted them to mp4 (320 X 240). I then added them to my storage card through windows media player. When I play the movie on my phone using wmp or tcmp, the audio is good but the video is choppy and blurry.
Can anyone please give me advice or point me to a source that may help.

You need DVD wizard............!
I use Clone DVD mobile myself works great. Once you get it installed open it up and click on the + next to other devices. select windows smartphone click next, click the button next to DVD video files and browse to the dvd or Video_TS folder on your hard drive, do any editing there you want or not, click next, click next again, under resolution select 320x240, under enter file name to write click the button and browse to where you want to save the output file, under label put the name of the movie, under letterbox try the 3 settings to see which one you like best and hit go. When its done copy it over to your storage card on your phone with active sync explorer and use TCPMP player or Windows Media Player to watch the movie. The finished file size runs from 400mb to 650mb depending on the movie length. I was very impressed with the quality of the movies on my dash. I'll have to give DVD Wizard a try first I've heard about it. Anyways hope this helps.
Converting ripped DVD's to run on a Dash
Hi,
I tried the trial version of Clone DVD Mobile but got terribly out of sync audio/video also a lot of chunky replay. I wrote to their tech support and got pretty good responses from one of their staff, but the end result was that it didn't work. At first we blamed the retention of the original 29.97fps as too heavy for the Dash's meager processor, but even when I edited the ini file to transcode at 15fps the problem continued.
I have copy of Womble Mpeg Video Wizard DVD on my machine which I generally use for editing TV shows I have recorded to my hard drive before burning to DVD-RW's for watching in the living room.
I poked around with it and it would allow me to transcode the .Vob files to mp4 files for an iPod @ 15fps. That worked like a charm. then just number the files sequentially so they play in the right order.
Basically any video editor or transcoding software that will allow you to convert a .vob file (found by exploring the DVD) to an ipod format will work
Good luck
i havent converted one in a while but i use dvd fab decrypter 4 platinum. which has the option to rip file from dvd to mobile. Then if i want to stetch a widescreen image to it fills the whole screen, i use pocket divx encoder
BTW... there's also a dvd fab mobile edition thats available too!

Great DVD to movie converter: http://handbrake.fr/ and free!
CorePlayer plays my 368x208 H.264 PSP movies on my Dash. Great.
I haven't tried it before. Is Dash fast enough to watch full screen dvd? Which software do you guys use to compress dvd?

DVD to .mp4
I use SUPER http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html it does not Rip from DVD, but once ripped its the best converter around and its FREE. A full length movie of 2 hours converts to a file of about 200MB @ 320x240 and flawless playback.
Thanks both. I used DVD Encypter before to rip DVD. It will be awesome to watch on Dash on a long trip.
I also use DVD Fab Platinum (w/mobile option) it's one of the better ones. It's not free but there is a trial version ( i think) to see how well it performs 4 you. http://www.dvdfab.com/
I also tried Spb Mobile DVD. It compressed DVD to 320*208 25fps xVid, which played flawlessly by CorePlayer. It's not a freeware, but seems easier to use.

Bupah what settings do you use in Super when encoding to get such a small file size with flawless playback?
Videora
I use Videora. It is for Ipods, but it does a QVGA resolution .MP4 that you can play in TCMP. You have to rip the DVD to your hard disc a special way using DVD Decrypter. There is a very easy to follow guide that links from inside the program for the method top do this. Oh, its free also.
Convert to Divx mobile with PocketDivxEncoder, and play the files with CorePlayer

use formatfactory to convert it into mpeg format. personally I would recommend converting it into xvid format and use player like coreplayer to play.

Divx is AVI am i right?
yxflash can read avi file but it's so bugged...
yes my problem too in HERO.I'm Waiting For Core Player http://twitter.com/corecodec
with me and my hero it works well!
It worked with the stock 1.5 Hero Rom.
Since I am on Modaco 3.1, it only plays 2 seconds.
if im not wrong the screen size of the vidoe should meet/near our hero screen size.
As i try many format, e.g... .3gp, .m4v(with screen isze of ipod/iphone/apple tv, mp4 .avi, divx .avi, divx plus HD .mkv, mobile .divx, .flv, .wmv & zune .rv
only those format with nearer to hero screen size work well. & some format like flv, avi, rv & divx does not work.(might due to the screen size too)
as i using soe free coventer that i unable to adjust the screen size unless i purchase full version.
if anyone could provide any free video converter that able to adjust the screen size i would like to try again & will let those who purchase xyflash user or going to purchase know & to consider of purchasing or not.
I try with PocketDivXEncoder,
