Okay, this can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it.
Your DVDs have DRM encoding, which means that "official" copy software won't back them up.
You can use a different encoder such as SUPER or some GUI version of mencoder to make a copy of your movie. Check the sticky at the top of this thread for the settings to use.
Once you have your copy, just transfer it via USB or Bluetooth (USB is MUCH faster!) using ActiveSync to your SD card. If you encode them correctly, you will be able to watch them on the Windows Mobile Media Player on your phone. If you don't, you could always find a copy of TCMP to play it on.
I use "AnyDVD" software to remove the copyright and "Xilisoft DVD Ripper" software to rip them into .mp4 then I just copy them to my sd card. This software cost money, but searching some videos on youtube you can get them for free.

Hi All,
First post from a real novice. I have just got an xda 2 and am trying to copy a couple of movie clips from my pc to the mobile device.
Some copy and some do not. I have downloaded Pocket TV and
Pocket MVP and highlighted both, separately, when trying to copy in explorer. Every time I get an error message. This is the second half of one of the files I am trying to copy:
My Documents\Audi Pictures\hendrixTTad.mpeg.mpg
Appreciate any help in advance.
Have you tried playing them through the inbuilt windows media player version 9. What is the nature of the error, is it when you are copying the files ot attempting to play them?

When I am in Media Player (9) on my desk top in the 'Copy to CD or Device section' - I hit copy and it comes up 'An Error occurred' on the text of the file. It doesn’t even start to copy etc. The file plays perfectly well on the desktop media player.
Thanks
try to drag and drop the file using file explorer.

Nice one! I copied the file to my documents in the xda on my lap top and it worked.
Then when I went to Pocket TV it was there ready to go.
A couple of quick questions: 1) What is the quickest way to get to 'My Documents' on the xda 2?
Where exactly are these mpegs stored as I can only view them when I'm in Pocket TV?
Thanks again.
my advice is to use pockettv it's a better player then wmp9

I like pockettv, but it only seems to play mpegs. Is this the case?
It seems that I have to watch mpegs in Pockettv, Microsoft files in Media player and AVI's won't play in either. I got Pocket divx, but it won't play any file with sound. It keeps comming up with an audio error and invariably crashes. Am I doing something wrong here or is there a one for all solution?> Thanks.
Take care of the codecs used for audio / video
When you create files for the ppc, you have to make sure, that you use only codecs for the audio / video part, that are supported by the players / device.
Check http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda for a short "How to" guide about the creation of divx or WMV files for the pocket pc.
If your file cannot be played by the media player, just re-encode this like described on this page.
regards,

@ seamo
sounds to me like your running the ppc2002 version on ppc2003 mate
get the pocket mpv ppc2003 version works great
(i have a cingular 8125 with a 2gb mini sd card) ok.. so i have the movie on my computer.. i have shrunk it to bout 800mb.. and it opens with quicktime.. quicktime doesn't have the right codec to play it therefor i downloaded VLC.. a program which supports it and will play the movie.. the aspect ratio is 320X240 but from here i don't know what to do.. i'm kinda new at this but would love to learn do i need to download any applications on my phone or will windows media player support it..
What you need is . . . . .
Pocket DivXEncoder : http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1224
and . . . .
TCPMP : http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Pocket DivXencoder allows you to convert the files and TCPMP allows you to play the files. Both are freeware. A 90 minute movie will come out at about 200Mb.
the movie is on my mac.. not my pc.. and i don't know how to get it off of it because the quciktime movie has to be opened with VLC for it to play
Welcome MacHead
Ahh....the trials and tribulatioins of us superior beings....
Well, to make this short, you basically have 3 options to choose from.
1. Use an adapter to transfer the files directly to the card. You will need 2 adapters actually. One for mini SD ->SD and another to connect SD-> USB. This is probably the easiest and most straight forward method
2. Get MissingSync for WindowsMobile. This option is only valid if you want to also sync playlists with iTunes and PIM information with iCal and Address Book. The reliability of large transfers is sketchy but I think it works very well on newer Macs.
3. "That's what you got wifi for" If you Mac is connected to a network that has a wireless access point somewhere on it. You can "download" the movie from you Mac over wifi. I have done this a few times to get around the sketchiness of MissingSync. You can also transfer the file from your Mac to your PC and use ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. I can give you more info. After you pick a specific option.
hahaha, I love how mac people have to use WINDOWS Mobile... Where is your Mac OS Mobile? Hmmmm....?
hahaha
how to transfer > 220MB file to MDA
hi,
just download the program and converted 1 movie to about 220mb. I used activeSync to transfer files to MDA. For some reason, it can't be synchronized. Can anyone let me know how to transfer it from pc to MDA.
Thanks
when dealing with big files you should go purchase a card reader makes it 10x easier...check out my site in the sig for videos, ringtones and more.
Or you can just get a program like Card Export II which lets your Wizard (8125) act like a thumb drive and you can just drag the file to your storage card.
I use Card Export II and it works great on my Macbook Pro.
Pocket DVD Studio:
It allows you to rip just about any DVD to any size. You can make Windows Media files or .AVI files (which I prefer). You make them in the range of 125m to 225megs and you can fit a dozen movies on a 2g chip.
For the .AVI, you'll have to get a CODEC file for your PC, but that's free (XviD 1.0), and you'll have to download a different player than WM, but BetaPlayer, that they also provided free, is a FAR nicer player than WM. You don't have playlists and transfers and all that nonsense. You simply open the file you want and play it. Also BetaPlayer will go to Landscape mode just by tapping the screen. I just found out they now call it: TCPMP (and I see they have it for SmartPhones--wonder if it will run on my Samsung D-820?)
It's at PQDVD.com.

I don't know...you need a different util to create .3gp files. They make one, but there's another called Super @ that is shareware. It's tricky to use but does work. You have to play with settings.
thanks.. i was wanting to put it on my card.. and then just play it from my phone.. but the mac won't play the avi file because it doesn't have the right codec.. so i have VLC on my mac and it will play on the mac.. and i don't know where to go from there.. if i put it on the card i didn't think windows media player would play it.. i don't know the step by step procedure.. i'm new at this so just call me blonde..

TCPMP will play .3gp just fine. I think that the WMP version on the Wizard may also play .3gp since you can save your cam movies in that format. .3gp is a mobile version of h.264 or actually I think its actual name is h.263. Anyway if you get QuicktimePro (look for a serial code online). You can encode/transcode just about anything into that format. Oddly enough it even works on files that Quicktime claims it can not play.

Cool, I used to use these files on my old P900 and they seemed to compres really well...have to experiment a bit....
Mac Vidoe Converting
we macusers rock, and u just need visualhub, it does the job in about 15 minutes, in any code in any size, and of course, use tcmp for watching it on your ppc.
go versiontracker and grab visualhub
drag and drop the file ( whatever ist is) into it, choose the output size and codec and click run, u can send it dircetly to your storage card by choosing the output folder.

SlySoft CloneDVD Mobile
Use this:
http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonedvd-mobile.html
It will do everything for you, simple point & click, its not free though but I use it and it does a good job.
Acala DVD to Pocket PC Movie also works well.
http://www.cutedvd.com/
Right thanx for help but when i try to open up the dvd with these software it says the dvd is protected from being copied, its lord of the rings how do i work around it so i can copy it and watch it on my phone?
you need to rip it to your hard drive first. Use DVD Decrypter to rip it first then use your program. DVDD will remove the protection and a few other thing is you need it. Just google it as it is availible many many places on the net and is free.
Use fairuse wizard lite - its free and does the job nicely. Just put dvd in choose a couple of settings and size (i.e. 320x ...) and it ouputs file in xvid form that the pocket core player can play. It works on copywrited dvd's too.

seems this software was purchased by another company and is no longer free and can not be downloaded from any of these sites anymore. Do you have a sort of "Pre-Ban" version you can post?
Edit: Found it here http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/DVD_Decrypter/4-75586-1.html
I ripped the Digital Copy of A Christmas Carol to my PC hard drive. Then I dumped it onto my phone (created a 'video' folder in the Media folder since it only had 'audio' and 'music' - the file won't play, it says to connect my PC because the license expired or something like that. And it disables my SD card until I reboot the phone.
Any ideas? I have a few blu-rays with Digital Copy and would love to rip a couple of the movies I own onto my SD card so I have something to do while waiting at various places....
Any suggestions would be great.
not sure, but are you freezing/preventing the DRM services from running with a startup manager or something? i know a lot of people do for battery reasons but i think it might have to do with that, might need to kick them on to watch DRM movies
using titanium backup pro i froze all 3 instances of DRM. i still get an error saying the code for the file is expired and I need to hook up to my PC...
Use AnyDVD with a Bluray ripper (I use Pavtube ripper) to watch your purchased BD on your phone. It will cost a small investment but it's worth it. I've never been able to get that Digital copy to work.
Just out of curiosity, I have a Bravo with the new 2.2 android update, but I have had this problem even before the update.
I install a video file through Motorola Media Link, or just drag and drop without Media Link, or remove the memory card from the phone and use a card reader to install a video file. I have even changed the settings on the phone when connecting with a USB cable (USB Drive, Media link etc).
The video file cant be read by the stock media player or any media player programs I get from the Android market. I delete the file and try it several times different ways, and the video works. But it takes me hours to delete repeat until it works.
I have tried each time in turn thinking it is one certain setting that I am doing, but the setting that did work, now doesnt and one of the other ways does.
Is there something I'm missing? Please help if you have a fool proof way.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Is the video file a file in which can be played on a mobile device? MP4 is the most common, but not all mobile devices can play a wide variety of media files.
