alright as you all may know or not know, some blu ray movies come with digital copies of the movie and i was wondering if anyone successfully transfered them onto your hd2 and being able to watch them??
ive tried 2 movies already and both of them say "a digital rights management error has occurred"
on the windows phone site it says that our windows media player on the phones will play protected content but the above quote throws me off??
and on the movies themselves say that they can be transfered to any portal device that allows it..
has anyone gotten theirs to work and if you did what steps did you take??
please advise

You just need to encode them the same way you'd encode any movie(unless of course you use WMP to sync you media content, which won't work in this case and isn't really recommended for movies anyways as the quality is just awful) .
I myself use MeGui. You can of course use a different encoder if you find megui to be too complicated.
The basics are that you need to find the largest file in your STREAM folder on you Blu-Ray disc and encode that into a format the HD2 supports(h264 packed in an MP4/AVI container).
Then it's just a matter of moving the file over and enjoying it on your HD2.
Avatar encoded from the Blu-Ray disc looks simply phenomenal!
the hardware supports it but windos doesnot have suitable codecs ,may be wp7 or android port will help

Okay, I'm not sure what the deal is. I just realized that the videos I record on my Hermes won't play on my PC. I've tried different codecs for it, as I have wmp11, and I have tried different media players, but the only thing that will play the videos I record on my phone is wmp10 on the phone itself!!! This is nuts! I don't want to just view them on my phone!! Does ANYBODY know a work around for this??? I don't want to have to move the videos I take onto my PC so I have space on my storage cards, and then have to move them all back to my phone when I want to watch them!! Please help!!!!
install KMPlayer on PC
Install KLM mega codec pack (free ). Should support most codecs and is better, & less painful to use than WMp ....
Cheers...
Awesome. I'm going to try it, but does either of you know if there is a codec that will allow me to watch the videos on wmp11 on my PC?? I'm assuming the klm codec will have it's own player to watch them. I want to be able to share the videos with friends. Should I get a decoder??

Okay, both of you are AWESOME!!!! I was completely wrong!! The videos play perfectly in wmp11!!! Not what I was expecting at all!!! Gracias BIG TIME!!!
No worries... KLM Codec packs just give the pc the codecs so ALL players can utilize them unlike standalone players that may have proprietry codecs...

The digital copy of movies that come with blu-ray movie can't be played on my HTC Diamond. I don't have itunes and tried to use windows media player to transfer it. However, it tells me that it can't transfer it to the device because it isn't supported by the device. I have also transferred the movie using active sync... still no luck. Any advice on how to make my diamond capable of playing the movies would be appriciated. FYI I have a Sprint diamond.
You may be able to use windows media encoder to convert the video.
It is impossible to play 1080p videos on any windows mobile device. It doesn't have the resolution or the power to run it.
@ deadshawn
He's not trying to play 1080p, he's trying to play the digital copy that comes with some Blu-Ray discs now.
@Beherrschen
I understand that Digitalcopy is pretty locked down to a few pieces of hardware - with Sony studios supporting PSP/PS3 combo and Fox going for the iPod/iTunes route for example.
They are still DRMd so that is probably your problem.

Thank you for your input. I have to admit that I am gonna have to look up DRMd.
Last night I transferred the movie using my diamond as a disk drive (getting around the bad reformatting that active sync does). I tried using the photo album player and the wmp but the photo album just showed a blank screen and did nothing while the wmp told me to upgrade my player to play protected content. It then took me to a link for upgrading wmp on windows xp... Don't really want to have to carry around my PSP all the time to watch the digital copies.
I was trying to do this same thing Friday night with the "Hitman" Blu-Ray digital copy.
It dloaded to my laptop (after using the license key), then I transferred it to my Touch Pro. Went to play it and it booted up the internet browser, went to a web site where I tried to put the license code in again and it wouldnt allow it.
I'm thinking I should have had the phone hooked up and in disk drive mode when I started the original transfer, installing to my SD card.
Be interested to hear if anyone gets this to work.....
Anyone know where we can download free movies/ put movies on the htc hd2? I'm tired of watching transformers.
considering the discussion of illegal downloads is against the tos...why not use google?

If you have a decent movie player (like CorePlayer) you can actually watch regular PC movies on the HD2 without needing to re-encode them.
I watch DiVX movies on mine all the time.
Try Ojos Soft Video Converter and convert regular DVD's in MP4
not free...but the Blockbuster app does have some pretty cheap downloads. Or you could always rip your own dvds and transfer them to your SD card
Movies on your HTC HD2
You won't need to pay for a converter. I've been using "Videora" and "Super" with some success. I have not been able to play an avi file on the HD2. However it will play MP4. Windows Media Player Mobile doesn't seem to let you watch anything in full screen (big surprise). I'm assuming you already know how to rip your legally owned content into a vob file at least. I used Videora and it does a fantastic job with some files like avi and mpg but the audio is not very good. I can't seem to solve that problem no matter what settings I use. Super will work how ever I can't find the proper settings so that the movie doesn't look squished on the HTC HD2 screen. Some of the movies I had converted for my iPod touch work perfectly on my HTC HD2. Some didn't. I hope this helps you.

Can you tell me the settings you are using on videora, i have been playing with it, but i keep getting stuttering audio and video, tho video is not as bad.I have the latest version that says it is for the hd2 but the hd2 isnt listed in the drop down box.
try Aimersoft Video Converter. It seems to convert my dvds without a problem. I have my bitrate around 1500 so my videos come out around 1.2gb a movie. Or you can try Super C. That's free as well.
CorePlayer will play any "regular" avi file (DivX or Xdiv) the best.
If movie sound is encoded with AC3 then use TCPMP player.

and how can I get the CorePlayer ?

Hi Folks-
I know there are several threads on video encoding, but I think I am asking something new. I am using the retail version of Winx DVD Ripper which does a nice job overcoming encryption from my store bought DVDs so I can rip to my computer and then transfer to my HD2. Problem is I have workable mp4 files on my computer that I can watch after the process, but I am having mixed success watching them on the HD2.
Just recently, I ripped a nice mp4 version of Avatar that played fine on my computer, but when I transferred it to the phone, it would show the circle for the video player for half a second and then go back to my file explorer. This also happened with Black Hawk Down. I've had success with other movies such as Iron Man, etc. Am I running into some form of copy protection? If so, I'm annoyed as these are 100% retail DVDs I have purchased.
Specific settings for Winx include 800x480 resolution, sound to at least 160, using high resolution mode, even safe mode the second time I ripped Avatar to see if that would help.
Any ideas would be most appreciated, thanks!
Try the HTC Video Encoder. I've encoded 1080p .mkv files with no playback issues on my HD2. It's free, so can't hurt to give it a shot.

Try TCPMP player , install it then open the program and hit file than open and select the movie! let me know if this works.

Its just called video encoding GUI (saying htc implies they made it, when they didn't). But yes, I can highly recommend using it.
Also using tcpmp doesn't allow for full hardware acceleration.

Good to know what player do you recommend?
core player and tcmp player work all the time.. Dix player"sometimes work" but has small keys and audio issues but at least you can adjust sound and timeframe in fullscreen.
I will try the other encoding program. I downloaded pocket divx player and I couldn't figure out how to open up a new file and I tried to follow the directions in the program. Is it possible that I am having a hard time with my mp4 files because I transferred them not via Activesync but by the other option that pops up when you first connect your phone to a computer? Will post in a bit when I try the new encoder.
Edit: Tried the new encoder, but all sorts of error messages when I showed them the contents of my Avatar DVD. I have 33 files on the actual DVD, which ones am I trying to encode?
Don't use the video encoding GUI as it is awfully slow and doesn't even give you a great image quality due to the settings being made suitable for a Touch HD.
Just head over to doom9 and download MeGui. A bit harder to use, but at least you'll be able to encode them in under an hour with great IQ.
Just did an encode of my Avatar Blu-Ray(45Gb) that took a little under an hour and ended up with a 3Gb file with a bitrate of 2453Kbps and max at 10Mbps. Split it into two files of 1500Mb and the HD2 played them like a champ without a stutter in sight.
I also recommend you download eac3to(for audio ripping) and yamb(mp4 splitting).
Will try meGUI, guess people are thinking it has to do with the encoding huh? Even if it works ok on my computer but not HD2?
did you try the tcpmp player?

Yes. Just because it plays on the computer doesn't mean it'll play on the phone. Your computer's hardware is substantially "faster" than the HD2's. Optimizing the video through encoding is usually the answer.

Oof, this program does look confusing. I'm going to go through the help files and try to get a grasp of it all, but if you have some preset settings or a streamlined bit of advice, I'm all for it. So far I'm trying one-click method and I've been able to show it where the .vob files are and create a directory to place the file and working directory. There is a hick-up with something about the chapter titles and it looks like it needs a file but it shows nothing when I explore my DVD drive. The Megui wiki isn't very clear here...though the program looks promising!
try using dvdfab, select iphone/ipod encoding and after transfer your encoded avatar to your sd card.. i did it like that.

THANKS! The ---only--- DVD encoder that just worked!
Edit:
Tried Handbrake (couldn't reliably read DVD to burn), Winx DVD Ripper (couldnt play on HD2), couldnt figure out meGUI and the other encoder linked here, and I didn't have to use any other player other than the nice HTC one. Thanks again.

A lot of standalone players worldwide need a firmware update to make it work because Avatar BD uses a new encryption scheme called BD+ 5. I recommend u a blu ray ripper named PavTube. I think the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper Software is currently the best ripping software and surprisingly it can rip both DVDs & Blu-Ray Discs without the need of having a different Undo-Protection program. I have tried many brands of ripping software with poor results. PavTube Blue-Ray Ripper is a real "Swiss Knife". Download a demo version and you will find it is definitly worth buying.Experience Blu Ray Avatar in the center of your Home Theater System
I currently have a couple of problems...
I have a collection of music that is in WMA Lossless on my Windows Media Center. I am using Winamp to trans-code the music before it is sent wirelessly to my Epic. The music will play on my epic, however I get errors sending it over DLNA, saying that the format is not compatible. I have tried WAV and HE AAC for trans-coding. I am running DK17 and the Quantum Rom.
Also, I cannot seem to get handbrake to convert DVD rips to a playable format on my Epic which also function over DLNA.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which formats I should be trans-coding to, to get these files working both on my Epic and over DLNA?

What you play over dlna is decided by codecs on the playing device not by the phone, whatever the destination device is you need to check the codecs for that. Note that there are more to codecs than just the extension name there are settings that may have to be matched.
Since it seems like a good chance you are using a pretty basic device you best bet is basic codecs. Xvid and mp3.
If those dont work then you should probably start saving for something like a ps3 where dlna playing is quick and pretty easy

I used handbrake to rip DVD in mpeg4 format (I believe I used H.264 codec with .m4v extension). DLNA streaming from PC to Epic works using allshare.
K lite Codec pack FTW
What OS are you running on the PC?
I have been using K Lite Codec Pack for years on XP, Win7 and a few Vista machines its my favorite codec pack, cccp codec pack is another good one to check out most people swear by one or the other.
Just as Masterface7 said its a codec thing on the target machine. DLNA (All share) has yet to fail to play any file i have thrown at it when playing to systems that are loaded up with all the codecs and are set up to play the same files local of there own HDD or from LAN.

I think OP is trying to do the opposite of what you described. He's trying to play PC files onto the phone. In other words, the PC is the source and the phone is the target.
Unfortunately, even if the file can be played natively on Epic, it may not be playable via allshare.

Mmm ic ya that's kinda sucky then. i have not tried to play many video files "On the Phone" But i would like to no the answer also if some one figures it out but i have a feeling we would need a new DLNA.akp
after searching the forum for my question this one sort of nailed it on the head, I have the same issue
Using allshare from my phone to play video files from my pc using the intel viiv media share I can see the video files but when try and open in my phone to lay the video files it says unspported file format. i record tv through my pc it can play it in windows media center and windows media player but will not play on my phone
does anyone have an answer for this issue?
To make a note, All Share will not play any content that has DRM...
Maybe I missunderstood samsung but it seems to me that allshare only half works if u can't play files both directions. There always seems to be some video file that will not work but the fact that NO video files work makes me think that allshare sucks. Its to bad xbmc can't run on ARM chips
