DVD TO POCKET PC
Now you can convert your DVD's to your Pocket PC and watch them in great quality, with stereo sound and in full screen landscape mode. A memorycard as small as 128 Mb is sufficient to store a full length feature film, up to a hundred minutes. Take your DVD's on the plane, train or automobile, watch them on vacation, at work or at school. With only two clicks, this PC software converts the content of your DVD to a super small movie file, which will play on any Windows Mobile 2003 device, such as HP iPaq, on a postage stamp size memory card. You can use a headset or the built-in speaker to listen to the sound. Subtitled and foreign language DVD's are also supported. You wil have to see the quality to believe it, using Microsoft's supreme Windows Media 9 encoding, feature films look crisp and sharp on your Pocket PC and still fit on a relatively small Secure Digital card. On a 512 SD card, you can even crunch 4 films!
While hunting for new software for my XDA2, visited this site, hope this one's good. Heres the link.

not good at all...
DVD's?
Just use smartripper, DVD2AVI and Tmpgenc (all free) and you have the same or better results and will cost you nothing.(I'm Dutch, you undersstand?)
I think DVD-to-Pocket PC is very good and very intuitive. It just takes the hassle out of DVD conversions. One click and off you go....
I prefer pocket DVD studio 1.2
It records to Xvid which can be played in the free Betaplayer.
It provides much better results and is a lot more customisable.
Test both for yourself with the trials and then decide.
I used to always encode with windows media, but now I'm a convert to PocketDivX Encoder - so quick and simple (3-5x real time! Mind you I have a monster PC), and Betaplayer of course to view the files. I use DVD Decrypter to get the files off my DVD. All these are freeware and easy to use.
Hi,
I'm a newbie developing for PocketPC. Can anyone point me how to start developing a video recorder using the built-in camera on a XDA-III? I also need to have access to individual frames to perform some image interpretation such as motion detection. Any help is usefull. I use Visual Studio 2003
Thank you,
Miguel
the easy way would be to get some code as to how it's don on pc because
how you access frames from the streams are the same if you use a pda or pc
the files are still mp4 or avi or ...... what you set them to
if you grab and then work with the ripped file
if you want to do it real time you face 2 issues
1 the camera API is not public from HTC
2 the cpu's in pda's even though they are fast Mhz are much much slower then even pc cpu's of the same speed so real time checking the stream could be impossible
Hi Rudegar,
Thanks for the reply! On the PC i usually use a wrap library for DirectShow i don't think it's available for the PocketPC. Do you know where i can get the camera API?
did a search in this foruk for camera api and here are some hits i got

Hello,
I was wondering if there are people who are interested in watching live tv on there windows mobile phone from your pc at home...(?)
Last week i was searching for tools/progs like snapstream(stream live tv/record/schedule etc...) but it wasn't working good enough for me...
I just wanted a simple program to scan for tv channels...name them...and watch them on my kaiser...
So after a few hours programming... it worked
A moment ago i was driving my car and watching tv(350kb(its)s) on my kaiser over hsdpa / umts using my tv card in my pc at home...
The only thing i need to do is make a simple GUI that you can access on your kaiser using pocket ie/opera etc... In this webpage there will be very big buttons (for ex. CNN) so when you press this verry big button (you can't miss ) it will start CNN in TCMPM or windows media player...
(These buttons will be created dynamicly using a xml with your tv channels/freq/descriptions) so you can customize it or auto scan for channels...
Also you will be able to customize output quality...
Are there people who are interested in this? If so i'll will post some beta versions here
Let me know!
God bless!
Her are some screenshots...
You can already do this with Orb and a TV tuner on your PC:
http://www.orb.com/
Possibly an interesting free replacement for Sling Box.
Orb (already mentioned) is very good, and my personal favorite for watching TV is WebGuide http://www.asciiexpress.com/webguide/
Does this only support curtain tv-tuner cards? I would really love an app that works with dvb-s cards. Satillite on my phone would be 2 sweet Orb is good too but no dvb-s support
Microsoft has a free software called Windows Media Encoder that will allow you take in video streams from any source and output as a video stream or record it. It is actually very good. It does not have features to change channels though.
Hi all, got an email 40 minutes ago from Seeqpod, that app that's supposed to find music on the fly p2p style. Anyway, here's the linkage to a free copy for two days:
It's here!
SeeqPod Mobile is now available for download!
And from now through Sunday, December 21, 2008, it's free! That's right, free! Consider it our season's gift to our friends. Let your Windows Mobile friends know as well!
You can get SeeqPod Mobile installed onto your phone in two ways. Both begin by going to http://www.seeqpod.com/mobile and clicking on the "get it free!" button:
* Internet enabled Pocket PC or Smartphone running Windows Mobile 6.0 or greater
* Broadband internet connection for best performance
* Compatible with the following display sizes: QVGA (320 x 240), WQVGA (240 x 400), Square QVGA (320 x 320), VGA (640 x 480) (Yes, that's right! VGA!!! That means you, HTC Touch Pro and Sony Ericsson Xperia owners!)
Found this on PPCGeeks first, I was about to post it here, but it looks like you beat me to it. The thing is I interpret their registration offer in a different way... I think they're letting you get it 100% free if you get it before 12/21, like Nintendo did for the Wii with the Internet Channel...
For those wondering the App is GREAT... put in any song you're thinking of and it pops up playlists and the song itself for you to play...
I posted it on digg as well: http://digg.com/software/SeeqPod_Mobile_for_Windows_Mobile_free_until_Dec_21
Let's bring some attention to this thing before people have to pay $10 to get it!
Great clean look to the program and website. Music is fast and plays clean.. Great find.
Can you download the music? I know on ipod touch when i used this, with a safari plugin I could download the music as well. Great find either way, downloading now.
Music playback sounded very choppy. Also it works on WQVGA (Omnia) but is not designed for it. The player fills up 300x240 of the screen, leaving a piece with nothing in it but the desktop.

Music playback on fuze is great, no choppiness at all over 3g connection, evening switching songs in playlist only takes a couple seconds. Now just need to figure out how to directly download the songs
Thanks for the info!
Even skinnable..................

Same here, It worked nice and smooth on my Mogul (Titan) w/ EvDO rev A, no lag, very little load time...
I suggest changing the title of this thread, I'd like to see as many people as possible get this before the deadline.
I agree 100%, we need to get the word out while people can still get it free
I tried installing it on WM5, it installs but it doesn't run. FYI.
Doesn't work on my WM5 Wizard either.
Tested on Wizard, WM6.1 working
woo hoo. working but it doesnt work on wqvga
Doesn't work on Touch HD
works perfectly on my kaiser with latest hyperdragon rom.
very nice. for the previous question, i don't think you can download to your phone, but the link where it's getting the song from is listed.
It doesn't have a volume control so it's not very useful unless you want to carry around a pair of 300 ohm studio headphones.
It works on my Tocuh HD with VGAFIX3
Change the resolution => VGA

Hi, is it possible to easily install Linux and run PVR and bluray player software (ISO or drive), with Linux USB drivers for bluray drives and USB tuners, like you can on the PC?
Another issue is, if it will be possible to buy linux UltraHD Bluray player software and get it to work. I believe there is currently none, but is there any on the horizon?
On linux, is it possible to do this as a bluray PVR with a Linux that works as a layer on Android, or with dual boot, as Ubuntu on Android was to work?
I was attracted to the Shield when I first saw it, but it does not do what I wanted. I have a bluray drive and multiple USB tuners laying around that I could use instead of buying a deficient Windows 10 atom ultra small media PC.
I would just like to say, if only Nvidia would support a windowed Linux player, or dual boot, on shield Android TV both in separate sandboxes, with Linux driver support for all USB devices, it would solve a lot of issues with Shield functionality, and protect Android apps digital rights and the OS. It would greatly expanded the shields user base. However, they could make available apps for playing bluray/bluray 4k, and pvr recording, supporting generic USB tuners and bluray drives, as Linux already does through MythTV and Kodi but not the Shield.

I think It's possible to make shield to support PVR, you can design your AP to do it. beacuse shiled is android system, it have common android interface.
Thanks for that, I'm here about developing something else. I'm just asking for advice (or feature request, what ever suites people). When I am up to 10 posts I can post a thread on that in the appropriate forum.

interesting this.
Yeah, I'm a newbie to all this, from back in the days that C++ was new and untaught I'll n my college. I'm interested in doing a video compression codec on Android for camera and very video. Shield seems like a good development target. So I'm waiting to ask over at developers rather than in n the wrong forum. Should be able to compress 4k even 8k, with small file and reduced processing overheads.

sure，shield tv codec performance is very good,4k maybe no problem.
But before this, I think you need to get frames from usb camera firstly. this need UVC knowledge.
Well, I'm interested in high end camera acquisition using Android, and Shield is a leading device. I don't need to acquire from a camera myself, but practice on uncompressed footage, and develop a streamlined codec for it and register it on the device as an available codec so any camera, editing and player can use it, then charge a fee per device to download it from playstore. I am going to be just fishing for information to see what I need to address. I actually want to develop it within JavaScript primarily for web and Firefox is use, so will have to find out the best way to transfer it to Android for compilation. As I know next to nothing about these new languages, it will be an uphill learning curve. I'd rather create my own language than spend so long learning another full of dross. As I can understand JavaScript syntax is separate from Java, and not a even a logical subset, which makes life hard.
So, with Android, previous high level camera projects have failed due to the underlying restrictions of the android camera interface and customisations from phone to phone, but also Androids slow nature. L and M address this somewhat, but for the codec I would probably have to write a backend to acquire the frames from the hardware to the codecs quick enough, which I don't want to do, but if I can't get frame data delivery fast enough I will have to look at it. I want to use gpu or other processing unit instead of the processor mainly, for power efficiency and speed, but realise nothing is simple. All that sort of stuff that you have to do because it was not done right in the first place. So, avoiding going through slower high end camera interfaces as much as possible. I understand it is all based on a standard Linux camera api. If the camera software does not have to rewritten and it can deliver frame data at streamlined timely speeds to a codec, then I can avoid much of this. Now, on the other side we have storage Hopefully the data rate can be small enough to avoid issues, but that is unlikely on a 4k-8k frame. Hmm, maybe I should just give up the codec was supposed to be a side project to test out what I want to do in JavaScript.
Anyway, it is a shame we don't have a kick starter like funding scheeme, to pay a good programmer to do most of the background stuff, and upgrade the Linux code and drivers, so anybody can use the new code with any codec and camera app combination. My main interest is my own codec, not all the other stuff, that is really fixing Android and linux camera code, which would help everybody.
Actually, I know a company that might be able to get interested in doing such open source back end work with under funding, but I don't know if they are skilled in that sort of thing. Vizzygig. I'll look at asking on the thread.
Anyway, back onto the Linux on Android bluray/pvr home theatre questions?
I have just set up a advice request thread for the camera codec project here:
