Hi Guys,
I know this has been discussed before, and trust me I have trawled through the many posts about it, but I want to know if there is any FREEWARE with no limit restrictions that will enable me to decode a DVD to MPEG or AVI.
I have tried a few trials and for some reason, on most of them my PC crashes (mouse freezes) so I don't really have to buy one and find out it won't work without my PC crashing (I have a 2.0GHZ PC with 256mb RAM by the way).
I badly want to put some DVDs onto my XDA 2 before I go on holiday on Saturday!!!
cheers
Look thru the ftp site... there was a full version of dvd2ppc when I looked this morning. It was in the uploads folder but be quick.
cheers man, but what ftp site, i'm pretty new to this
ta
it's ok, I found it. thanks for your help
Don't suppose you could help me with a Username and Serial Number otherwise it's pretty useless. Cheers
Try PocketDivXEncoder (http://divx.ppccool.com/) Works a treat I use it on both my XDAII and my c500.
You will Also need BetaPlayer (http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/) to play it back.
Give that a go let me know.
Twichibi requested a U/Name and P/word for DVD2PPC. If whoever uploaded to the ftp has got the info could they PM it to me also.
Thanks
Username and Serial Number not P/Word !!!!
Please refrain from requesting or posting cracks/serials/passwords on this site please. We can then carry on helping each other without the site being closed down owing to piracy/copyrights issues. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Wouldn't normally ask but the file was uploaded in the first place with the intention of helping out others. Just a bit pointless without a username/serial number.
cruisin-thru
I know where you're coming from but if that's the way it is then half the stuff on the ftp site should be removed !
I'm sorry but rules are rules. I don't know if this is technically allowed either but I will tell you that astalavista.com is a great security website.
So basically to answer my original question there is naff all free software out there for decoding dvd's
Use fairuse wizzard: I've tried them all this is the best - easiest - free and use the free betaplayer to view them.
I strip the movies plus the original audio plus the directors commentry and watch whilst travelling.

"The Light Edition has all the features of the Full Edition excet that it doesn't allow for range selection and encodings greater than 700 MB"
So I can definitely convert a full DVD film to DivX for FREE?
use google just type in dvd to pocketpc and give a huge pile of results also free ones

http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=dvd+to+pocketpc&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=
i've done that mate, but most of them are ones where it only lets you decode half of the dvd before you buy
what about this one ?
http://divx.ppccool.com/langue.php?lang=EN&PHPSESSID=d9310e2c0664fd3cbc121571b1f14874
I've searched around and found a few posts but so far nothing has worked.
Here's my scenario. I've got a PBX with Unified Messaging capabilities, these messages are encoded using ADPCM, now the distributor for the PBX includes a coded for windows machines to play the ADPCM format they use, however from what I can tell there is so far (that i've found) no coded for windows mobile.
What options do I have for playback of these audio files? I can't really change the output of the PBX (i could but then file size would become an issue since ADPCM is really good at compressing telephone quality voice). As I mentioned earlier I do have the windows codec, is there anyway to port it to work on Windows Mobile 5?
I have tried a few of the players listed here, however they don't want to play those Wav files... so I wonder if its a customized ADPCM codec their using...
Anyways I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks~
I know what your looking for, and more importantly, due to extensive research I know where to find it.
Yes you are looking for the legendary G SPOT.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Its a great little app, no install necessary. It identifies the codecs used for audio and video files.
My advice, have a play.. you cant go wrong.
Ahh, thankyou very much.
Looks like its using Dialogic OKI ADPCM which I kinda doubt has mobile support but I'll dig around and see what I can find.
I dont really understand the sytem you have nor what your trying todo with the audio files it produces.. I assume to semi automated retreival/listening to them.
From a quick scan of the codec databases people are having huge problems obtaining this OKI thing for regualr windows. no mention at all of a mobile codec for oki.
Or there is this , which isnt really automated but it will allow you to play and convert the OKI's to a format your ppc can use.
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
As they have the soruce code available, you could spend the summer modding a ppc version ..
Or another option, they have the atariST executables, which you could run on a atari emulator hither. http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=767
Good luck keep us posted.
Thanks for the link.
Your correct, the system automatically attaches their voicemail and emails a copy to them. conversion's not really an option but I might just have to go that route. OKI makes some pretty small wav files (200-250k per min) so thats what makes it great for this application. Im also going to pester the distributor of this voicemail to see if they've tweaked it any for such an application.
Imagine you are standing in a store looking at DVDs. You photograph a barcode with your phone and press a couple of buttons. By the time you make it home, the movie is waiting for you in your torrent client.
This is the link for the app which is available on Android. I wonder if anyone could come up with something like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05KrEjHW6g
and VERY legal indeed...
While it is a clever idea, that kind of talk really isn't allowed here.. I think this thread will be closed!
thats amazing.. wonder how he is getting away with that!
not that i encourage illegal behavior or download anything illegaly, but i would love to see someone get something like that working for winmo too (not that i would use it)!
Illegal downloads
Its not like im encouraging illegal movie downloads. Just because a shop is providing bullets and guns doesnt mean that they are encouraging shooting and killing...
I think this would be a wonderful app and could have many uses other than illegal movie downloads so take a chill pill...
Yes, the implications are incredible. I'm sure there are *many* other uses other than illegal movie downloads, I just can't think of any right now.
..
Oh wait, got one! Music download?!
Hardly saying I'm against it, but do you really think this is the place for you to request an app which would make you a trigger-happy barcode reader?
other possible use
instead of having it take you to a torrent of the movie you can you use it log you dvds or cds to make a list of all your dvds or possibly use it with microsofts netflix app to add the scanned dvd to you rental list
Think outside the box lill fella there could be a lot more uses than just piracy... I saw the video on youtube and was very impressed so lighten up and go BUY a dvd or something if it makes u happy...
I already downloaded a torrent client on my mobile and am able to download content from many sites... Its called winmobile torrent if anyone is interested.
Please posts messages regarding development or alternatives to this rather that sarcy comments from now on.
p.s.
Dashraider that is an excellent idea...
Yeah, lets NOT discuss the legality of this application, in stead lets find out how to get this on our WM phones
To get it to work we would at least need
1. A barcode reading Lib, open source/free
2. A way of searching barcode number -> title
Google-ing for both ...

Try Koushik Dutta's Windows Mobile Bar Code Manager and API.
Another possible use:
It scans the barcode, then identifies the product and checks online for different prices. So you can find the lowest price or whatever.
Thanks...
Thanks for your help on this guys...

I could only find the barcod creation part..
But... we could already start with just typing in the number
the rest could/would be automatic

Just an FYI there is already a WM program being developed that does this called Barcorama. It's a little crude in the fact that it doesn't actually "read" the barcode, it just searches a predefined string using the barcode numbers that you photograph, and opens a browser page with the prices.
You can edit the search string as well, I think it defaults to a Google Shop search, but you can make it search Amazon/Whatever fairly easily.
To take this a step further, basically what I imagine the general workings of this application would do would be something of the following.
Using pretty much the same foundation as barcorama you would take a pic of the barcode, but instead of displaying the pricing page it would instead parse the data for a title of a movie/artist/etc. This operation would likely be hidden to conserve resources. Beyond this you could take the data that you got from searching the UPC and then plug that into a torrent search site such as isohunt, and have it grab whichever torrent has the closest match or best seeds.
The problems would be that while you could do all the steps on the PPC, I'm not exactly sure how you would get the .torrent opened on your PC without some sort of remote feature/LogMeIn etc. which are probably difficult to integrate into the application.
An additional problem would be that the application would have to judge which torrent from the tracker is "best" to download which would probably have to be handled by some combo of which torrent has the most seeds and which most precisely matches the data it acquired from the barcode.
I'd imagine that this project can be done without too much trouble, but it will probably take awhile to work out the bugs/fine tune the search/etc.
-Edit: After rereading this I came up with an idea for a workaround to get the file to the PC. It's only an idea like I said and would require additional development, but I'm just planting the seed for the more creative minds to bloom.
Basically the steps would be the same as above, but when you reached the point where the .torrent has been found, have the program save the .torrent to a temporary directory, attach it to an email document, and email it to an address you would input. You would probably have to run an app always on the PC that would watch your email, and open any .torrents that came in, I'm not sure how difficult that would be.
I think something like this is the easiest way to do this, but anyone can feel free to chime in with tweaks/new ideas

This could be an option :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
I need to look into it, and see if I/we can use it,
I also think we can use amazone.com for the dvd info
I just need to look in to the placing of the nzb/torrent
but we're getting there
winmobile torrent seems cool, but i dont really understand the point of downloading huge files over edge to your mobile, would make more sense if it synced with your computer like in the video so it would use a higher bandwith
I've always been interested in creating a barcode reading program.
Before my two kids came along and took away all our free time, my wife used to collect coupons. She would put them all in a index card holder and reference them whenever she was buying something. The most time consuming part was keeping up with the expiration dates and what each coupon was for, then compare them to fliers from the supermarkets.
My idea was to barcode scan each coupon and have an online database of what the coupons were for, how much off, expiration date, and barcodes of products the coupon was valid for. I know that supermarkets have such a database but it would be great if it was available online somewhere.
Even as a community effort (users scan a coupon and type in the applicable info then upload and share with everyone else), this would be a useful little program.
In this economy, we can all use an app like this, can't we? My Wife and I used to leave the supermarket with a shopping cart full of food and personal hygiene products having only paid $3 - $10 bucks.
hello all
kinoma Play looks really impressive in this video. http://www.wmexperts.com/next-release-kinoma-play-features-its-own-home-screens
are there any toshiba tg01 rom dumps floating around?
i hope people here are interested in porting this thing to our ''htc devices
This is just the next update ok Kinoma Play, which can be dowloaded on ur HTC.
Just wait few weeks for the update.
It's a good soft indeed.
wow this is very good!
the thing feels like its running on a 3GHZ machine with a geforce 8800
too damn impressive on the tg01
As this software comes bundle with TG01, Toshiba might shared the API for hardware acceleration to Kinoma Team. Remember this is a entire new processor platform (named Snapdragon). This software would never perform like this in ours old MSX7200 processors.
truly impressive
twice as smooth as the iphone with 2.5x the number of pixels so that makes it 5x as immpressive
its hard to tell where the constant 60FPS is comming from. is it from the cool coding tricks or from the CPU specs of the TG01. looks like both
I just love the Toshiba TG01
And Kinoma doesn't seem to be so bad either
Sascha
greatttttttt
I've tried this program, but there are a few hangups that really keep me from using it.
The first one is that it will only "intelligently" scan your device and storage card. There is no option to setup what folders to scan or leave out of a scan. They're only response as a "fix" to this is to put any directory you don't want scanned in the Program Files folder on your device/card. This means I have to redo my entire storage structure to work around their smart scan.
Also, they don't support .avi video files. They say "It's not used for legitimate content distribution" and that "it was always a poorly-defined format with many undocumented mutations that make it a mess to implement and support".
Well, one can argue the legitimacy of certain files, but that's not up to the video player to decide IMO. I have purchased several legitimate programs that convert my DVDs into avi files for mobile playback.
And as far as a mess to implement and support, hell, my very first Casio Cassiopeia supported avi playback with TCPMP. So that's just a cop out as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, the program looks great and has many awesome features, but it just falls short in trying to think too much for me. If I wanted to be a "dumb" user and have a "smart" media player, I'd buy an iPhone.
the new version was just released maybe these issues were sorted out. how about you upgrade and let us know

New version has an advanced option add on that allows you select folders to be scanned. I haven't messed with it as my battery is dead but it sounds like it would help you.
how do i activate the free version of kinoma im getting invalid email man.. how do i do this guys?
Found this in another thread.

hey guys was just wondering what is the latest version of Kinoma Play thats out right now?
I can watch live Tv on my phone but im a bit confused because when u buy any tv equipment here in the uk ....set top boxes/freeview, tv,s ect they do a check to see if you have a tv licence! Im obviostly missing somethig here so if someone could enlighten me that be nice, ( im basicaly asking why they didnt do a check when i downloaded it to my phone....BTW im not bothered im just curious)
Paul.
The main reason is that you don't need a seperate TV licence for a phone, as it is covered by your main TV licence (comes under the excemption "Any device powered solely by its own internal batteries")
Plus the law requires shops to take address details and pass them onto TV licencing, but does not do the same for software downloads.
handsomedog......thanks for the reply! but......."as it is covered by your main TV licence"......how do they know?
Paul. (sorry to go on! as i said before im not bothered just curious)
They don't know, they just expect you would have a licence at your main address. Forget detector vans, the main way they enforce this is to simply knock on the door of every address without a licence.
As the number of people using a mobile as their only souce of live TV is close to zero, it's probably not worth their time checking, likewise they don't check for a licence when you stream live TV over the web on BBC iplayer.
The cost of checking you are properly licenced for iplayer/mobile apps would hugely outweigh the revenue stream they would gain from it.
Oh ok! thanks for the reply mate.
Paul.
Hi Mr London - can I ask what app you are using to watch live tv? Thanks
Davsor im using SKYFIRE.
Paul.
