Movies!

Hey people!
I use Windows Media Encoder 9 to encode my movies and the result is amazing. Crystal clear picture and great sound. Right now I am watching The Forgotten with Julianne Moore. Great movie!
What do you use?
Take Care
Björn

u have any small samples?
i use pocketdvix encoder

I also discovered that Windows Media movies are a lot better than the Divx ones I made with PocketDivxEncoder. Also it's a lot faster and you don't need any crop and whatever actions. The picture quality is a lot better than with Divx in my opinion. Also, when using XP, you don't need any extra software, only the free Microsoft Movie Maker. Just import the movie file, drag all parts down and save the movie as Pocket PC Fullscreen. This is a lot faster than PocketDivxEncoder.
For DVDs i think you'd need something like DVDecrypter and DVD2AVI to be able to import the movie into the Movie Maker.

doesnt do .mov files, i normally do trailers

use smartmovie 2.72
hi guys...
I am using fully cracked smartmovie 2.72 player & its rocking... the audio & video clarity is too good. The conversion is very quick -- matter of 1 to 2 mins.
if anyone needs mail me at [email protected]
Bye

This is not the right place for pirated software! :shock:

Hey, izzit really 1.11.160 WWE ExtROM ? Any source to download :?:

@Ill tempered
I didn't test that. I only know that the Movie Maker only accepts files like avi and so forth. I'm not sure about the Digital Rights management - this could cause trouble with some or even all DVDs. Just try.
Anyway, there will definately be a way to encode DVDs with Windows Movie Maker and the quality is really, really good. I think that DivX Codecs are just not optimized for the PPCs format.

It's still a great way to convert avi files for use/view on the ppc...
tried it and works brilliantly.

Audio/Video converter application?

So I'm looking for a good program to convert mpeg's to .mp4's to view on my TP2. I have googled and found ALOT of different ones, but I just wanted to see what others were using or could recommend. Something that can convert dvd's to a viewable file type for my TP2 as well is desired.

pretty damn good one and free to is. DVDVIDEOSOFT
Download Free Studio entirely
comes with a whole set of real nice apps for audio and video plus a manager that can open and control or open all or any of them.
or can just get one at a time and download but i advice to get the studio
also there is AVS4YOU http://www.avs4you.com/ which cost 59 but its for every thing and ALL there software for life.
They both come with converters that create or convert into cell formats. Including youtube.

this app is the best http://handbrake.fr/
i have tried many of the apps listed as well as others but i use this one all the time for dvd rip and convert to mp4 it has a default setting for mp4 mobile phones so it is very easy to use also has mkv format and its free

This is the one I use, I find it smallest and easiest to use, I can queue up files and go to work, it never crashed so far.
I use Custom option and ensode with 900kbit to get very good quality
Highly recommended!
The only other applcation I use sometimes is TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress becuase it is using the power of my nvidia card when encoding.

I understand that i have to rip the dvd to my computer.

I hope you untherstand the question and can help me out
Greetings Camiel

Maybe this will work for you!? i havent tried it but it looks pretty good.
Heres another convertor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492261
I personally use AVS video convertor -http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx?sct=inc&ct=google&cid=67 it is a paid app but very good and simple to use, but i'm sure there must be free versions of a similar program available.
also i convert to MP4 and play using either Coreplayer-http://coreplayer.com/, TCMP-http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/or the built in HTC Album video player. others use different formats for higher compression(to fit more on the sd card)..... Definately think about trying out/buying CorePlayer as it is a great media player.
These are easy to find, use the search box at the top right and you can find a lot of information for our devices. have fun!!
Welcome to the forum

Video converters
I personally would look for a program called Format Factory. Search for it on google. It can convert any video, audio ,pictures etc into any format you want and best of all, it's free.

My favorite converter is dvd::rip (http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/). I've converted movies to 480x256 that play beautifully with CorePlayer.

Does this convert movie files into that size/resolution or just DVDs?

I use a program called DVD Catalyst. It cost me like $20 but I can rip into any format and screen size I want. I use the free TCPMP to play all my movies on my TP2.

did::rip will only covert DVDs (after ripping them), but I think installing it will also give you command-line tools to be able to convert other formats as well. I haven't looked for a GUI for that yet.

I dvdfab to rip the DVD to my hard drive and AutoGK to convery to Xvid format. Both are really easy to use. I use the basic free DviX player to play them. Not a very nice player but it's free.

The best one... is FREE!!!
Being Dutch, you probably would like to have your subtitles included, something US and UK people does not take into account when looking for a media coder.
Here is the best, multilingual, I set profiles for my wife's Nokia and for my superb Tilt2 (and my old Fuze as well).
It comes with the codecs and the tutorials and all you need to rip any movies/DVD into your phone.

Adding movies to streak

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck adding movies to the streak. Ive tried to put a digital copy from a dvd I bought on it and it never shows up. Can someone please help. And sorry if this is a repeat question.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I usually upload vidcast (video podcast) to the /video dir in memorycard. Works like a charm.
It is probably an codec issue...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Use Rockplayer if your codec doesn's get recognized.
Otherwise I like Meridian player most.

Doesn't this type of movie have digital rights that only play on certain progs. I.e windows mob. Media player? I know I've had this issue with loading movies in this format to a phone before.
Is it in MP4 or avi? As the stock player wont play avi files N I would also recommend rock player.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Thanks I will give rockplayer a try.

VPLAYER seems to be the new kid on the block that plays all

DVDs on the Streak
The best solution I've found by far is SPB Mobile DVD. This software allows you to put a DVD into your computer's DVD drive, run the software, and it will convert a full length movie into an .avi file of about 500megs that plays really well with Rockplayer. Just copy it to your storage card and enjoy!
I got SPB Mobile DVD when using my former WinMo phones (came to the Streak from the Tilt2). Most of the SPB software I used on my windows phone is forgotten now with Android, but this gem really works well! Hope this helps!

can I bypass the download security on the stock att Dell streak so I can just put movies on it from the wed.... like from 4shared... when ever I try to download from a site it says unknown download not aloud..... any info would help

OK so now I have dolphin browser on it and rockplayer and still can't get movies off of 4shared it downloads really fast and its not the hole file.... man all I want on this sick 5" screen is some really nice movies. love the phone have had it for two months this thing is just awsome...... just really would like some movies.. PS no CPU any more need to be able to do it from my streak

When you say no CPU, do you mean you don't have a computer to move stuff from?
BTW, you won't be able to play digital copies from bought movies on the Android platform. They only work through iTunes devices or Windows Media Player. Since Android has neither, you can't play the file no matter even if you get it onto your phone. DRM will stop it from playing. I would see if you could find a DRM stripper, or just download it, or use a DVDtoMP4 or something program.

ya no computer to move movies on to the streak.... oh well thanks anyway im just going to pay someone to put movies on my sd card....

I hope I don't incur the wrath of the mods here, but if you have an unlimited data plan, you could always go to one of the well known forums that i'm not allowed to mention, where you will find rapidshare/megaupload links for hundreds of movies that have been converted for watching on smartphones. Of course, before you download any, you need to check you own an original copy ;-)

I used dvdfab, amazing program, converted a movie that i used to have on my ipod, it was set to mp4, converted it to mp4 for general devices, used rockplayer, works like a charm.
I tried playing it on streak player, it works but everything seems choppy.

Get a program (of your choice) that will rip a DVD into mp4 format. Choose the resolution of Android 800x480. Easier said than done sometimes, since DVD copy protection can sometimes be a factor. WHat I find is the best way is this.
1. Get ImgBurn, and DVDFab (for the copy protection). if this is not legal here, I apologize. Img is free, dvd fab has a free version
2. create an ISO of the DVD.
3. Get Elaborate Bytes Virtual Clone drive also free.
4. Mount the ISO you just created.
5. load up your DVD to mp4 converter
6. convert to mp4 with the android settings of 800x480
7. copy the resulting mp4 file to your streak. the default video player will play the file without issue, as well as any other program (rock etc) that supports playing mp4.
the program I use at home for the conversion to mp4 supports most major devices by name (i.e. iphone) but the streak is not listed. In playing around with it, I found there is a specific setting for "Android 800x480" and it works perfectly. Aiseesoft MP4 Converter Suite is what I use, and it allows for the conversion of DVD to mp4 and the conversion of basically any other codec out there to mp4 (xvid, divx, avi, wma, etc)
I've successfully converted the Hot Tub Time Machine, Night of the Demons, some Voyager shows, and all play without fail.
if you need more info, email me, I'll help where I can.

(tmo) Movie Digital copies

ok so we all know we can have digital copies of movies play in our portable devices so i decided to test some movies on my tab. Two movies in question were Star Trek and Sherock Holmes. I went through the entire process of copying the movies to my pc using itunes (one i could have used media player but didnt work), then transfer the movies to my tab. i tries opening using stock video player and nothing and i even downloaded different video players that i though would support the video format and nothing. what gives? how can we watch DIGITAL COPIES of movies on our tab? AND NO I DO NOT FEEL LIKE RIPPING A DVD OR BLUE RAY (DONT HAVE BD PLAYER ON LAPTOP) JUST IN CASE ANYONE DECIDES TO SUGGEST THAT. i just want to be able to view digital copies.........

Can't you remove DRM using some windows xp/vista/7 program?

Just went through this yesterday. It's a DRM issue. If it's like the Toy Story 3 Digital Copy I got with the 4 disc set it's tied to iTunes. Only iTunes or other Apple products will play it. Now, there should be a way to rip the DRM or convert it, I just didn't invest that much time into figuring out how to do so. All I did was rip and re-encode the DVD version.

if ripping and re-encoding DVD is the only way then i have no choice, but it sure is a pain.....
EDIT: what program would you suggest i use to format DVD's to play on the TAB? And what is the best file format to use (MP4, AVI)? want to get the best video/audio quality...

I've used this in the past to remove DRM from iTunes music tracks: http://audials.com/en/tunebite/index.html
It seems it is now able to remove DRM from movies too! So, if you LEGALLY purchased the movie via iTunes you can us this to get it to play on the Tab.

Copy and paste the link. Not sure what's up with that...
To rip DVDs I always use Handbrake on the "normal" setting. Works perfectly.

Yeah, have to agree that Audials Tunebite 's pretty good solution.
There's a new version out that can easily remove drm protection from itunes protected movies and videos plus I saw it can also be used to rip dvds and convert dvd movies to whatever format works for pc or whatever devices u need.
