Anyone know somewhere to download sub 128Mb converted movie files, I appreciate this is a touch immoral/illegal but I only want to download movies I already own, :wink: and bearing in mind how long it takes to download 128Mb on broadband compared to how long it takes to do a conversion I think it would be very popular, perhaps people using P2P or or seeding torents should start hosting movies with a SUB128 Prefix? i,e.
SUB128_IRobot.avi
I reckon this would go down well with PPC owners! Maybe its already on the go what with IPOD's/PSP's

Even if you already own the movie it is still illegal to download it.
Grey area I think, the same applies to music and yet it is perfectly legal to download music after purchasing it from a legit website, I tunes for instance. Same thing applies to software and yet once you have paid for a key to activate the software you can download it as often as you like and from anywhere you like. I would like to see any court prosecute someone for downloading something they already owned, but that's another subject
gooroo: try some of the p900 sites. They used to be quite happy to distribute them.
The equivalent of xda devs for p900 is probably a board called www.esato.com
I used to frequent it in my heathen days. Search around. They have literally 4 gazillion music videos and films etc on this thread:

I hear that Pocket DVD Studio is gfood for converting DVD's you own.... anmd Tempest is good for converting DIVX movies. So I hear.
PocketDIVXEncoder / lathe are very good.
But hosting or distributing these films would be clearly illegal.
However, if you check on ebay you can find a few "superdisks" for the p900 etc with a number of compressed films on them...

This is a great idea.
Why 128MB though? Is this a good quality/filesize compromise?
Is it easy to rip DVDs into that size for playback on a PPC? I'd love to know how for long journeys, but my only experiments haven't been successful.
128Mb so it would fit on a 128Mb memory card, but not written in stone, I played for ages with various s/w but now have IRobot in 200Mb full screen on my Universal, looks great, but took ages to do the conversion, thats why I think that website may have been started? Hehehehe

640x480, movie length, in 200Mb??
What sound settings?
i use pocket DVD studio to convert movie to 320x240 at 15fps and reasonable default sound and get 200mb per film.
it plays back very well with good quality sound and picture bearing in mind the resolution. the only time it pixelates is on fast moving action but cannot complain.
i have chosen this setting because a) i had a blue angel before the Exec and converted these before hand and b) i can get basically 4 movies on a 1gb card so watch while at work in quiet times.
i will give the 640x480 setting a try once i get round to converting my star wars box set collection onto ppc format.
thanks
I didn't convert IRobot to 640x480, I coverted it to 320x240 with Stereo FM quality, I also adjust the start and end to remove the intro and credits. When playing it back with TCPMP it gets scaled to fill the Universals screen automatically when you select full screen. The screen is not much bigger than a 320x240 screen anyway so when scaled to fit the picture is still pretty damn good on the Universal, I really dont think the extra size of the final file is worth the true 640x480 resolution, but if you want to play it in windows media player you do have to convert it to 640x480 to get full screen playback otherwise it plays in a smaller area in the center of the screen.

Lordy! Pocket DVD Studio is $40!! It had better be good!
I would like a few movies to put on my phone but do not know where to download them from where they will have the correct format and all. Does anyone know any good sites? Thanks

My apologies. i jumped to conclusions.
For my favorite movies,i need to rip and back then up to disk.
With an hyper independent toddler who scratches my disks, it's good to have a back up.
I would just suggest converting your own...
Pm sent man....
YOu don't have to download them "for the N1" You can use any movie you want and use Any Video Converter to convert them. There is an option to specify which device you're converting for and you can just select Nexus One and push convert. It's much easier than dealing with selecting the codecs and everything with other programs.
I've used doubleTwist to convert and sync some movies... but it takes FOREVER!!!
If you have enough cores and OCed then you can do other stuff while it encodes

I have a lowly Intel Core2 Duo laptop with 3gb of RAM. Not amazing, but as law student, it's always been more than adequate. Anyway, converting and synching a gb of music from wma to mp4a, and a couple gb of avi to mp4 takes a couple of hours...
I think other converters can do this much faster, then I could just drag and drop straight to the SD card, since copying stuff with the card mounted in the phone is slower...
What would be great for doubleTwist, is if you could do the conversion without the phone connected to the computer (currently, it has to be plugged in the whole time), then synch later in a much shorter period of time. Maybe I should email them...
Does anyone know of a way to do this? I have the space to re-encode my entire music collection to a more friendly format, but it's a major PITA. I'm no audiophile, but I have a mid-range aftermarket car stereo system that tends to exacerbate flaws in ****ty music.
That being said, I have been utilizing the option Apple FINALLY opened up for iPhone that existed for years for iPod nano, which allows you to re-encode high bit-rate music on the fly to 128kbps AAC. This means that I have the 200+ KBPS music on my PC, and mobile friendly 128kbps AAC on the phone. It one of the few things I truly love about the iPhone, but it is also another one of those things that piss me off. Apple has driven me off a cliff by doling(s?) out existing features at their leisure to create the illusion of steady development.
So yea, does anyone know a way to do this for the upcoming Evo. I'm gonna be shopping around for a few memory cards to make up for the fact that I'm coming from a 32gb iPhone so it would be nice to be able to get as much as possible on a single 16gb card.

sooo your wanting to know if you can encode on the fly on the phone? Or are you asking if you can encode everything you transfer when you hit transfer and have as little fuss as possible

The latter. I am hoping for a syncing app that allows on-the fly encoding during sync that will not force me to permanently store mobile versions of music. I guess with memory cards I could encode mobile music straight to the card... Damn I think Apple has scrambled my brain to how easy things are in open and competitive systems... I think I'm switching just in the nick of time.

Yeah...It would be pretty easy, just pick all the music and set the target for the encoding to the memory card, done. ID3 tags would take care of the sorting inside whatever program you use to play music so you could just dump all the music in one folder without having to worry about artist/album sorting.
Glad to see your shaking off the apple yoke! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!

OGG is pretty good, I don't have much actually on my phone, I stream all of it off the internet using streamfurious or pandora
So question folks,
I have the A70H and loaded about sixty GB worth of music (11000+ songs) and I am having trouble getting them to show up in the media library. Aside the fact that it is a ridiculous amount of music, anyone know if there is a technical limitation to the library databases for Android for music, videos and photos?
Thanks in advance, I realize that it may be a strange question.

You know, if you extract it in good quality, you can have easily 60GB ^^(700MB for each CD, it can go fast ^^)

Yep i know (i've 250 gig on my hdd), but he said that he have this on his A70H
It's 60 GB.
I have several TB worth of data, I'm quite the nerd

Yes and the H in the name means that 250GB HD version.
@nokturnihs:
There is a limit, around 65.000 musicfiles.
But most of the time the problem comes from either a corrupt file or a name that the mediascanner can't cope with ( # for ex ).
Check your files if you can find something like this.
The H stands for HDD Hard Disk Drive, the flash version is S ^^
I had a free download from one of my dvd movies. But it will not play on my TF. What app should I use?
And the award for "The Least Info Provided" goes to.........
In other words......There is not enough info to provide you with an answer.
If this "free" download is encoded with AC3 audio then its not going to play.
You could try looking in the 100 other threads dedicated to video problems and see if your problem matches an existing one.
sorry, was posting from my phone and didnt have the format avaiable. The format is .wma and i saved it to my sd card but still we not play. Tried the video app and mx video player.
The place you got the wmv, you may want to check to see if it has any DRM running on it. If its enabled DRM'd you maybe unable to given its current state.
it was from a direct link when i bought a bluray d8sc for a free download version so not sure about the drm.
Is ther a player that can decode wma? Tried searching with no results.
.wma is windows media audio format... Are you sure its the movie and not the soundtrack instead?
Yes, i used my desktop windows and i think it was the only option to download. It plays fine on my desktop thru the windows media player but not thru my tf.
CaNsa, enough info for you?
its probably drm protected as stated above, just like movies downloaded from itunes. the only way you will play it on the transformer would be to get a program that strips the drm off
i have never seen a wma file with video.. does it exist?
i have seen wmv with video and i am sure wma only carries audio

If you decide to strip the drm off of it, be prepared to go to federal prison and have lots of ass-widening yoga classes.

It's perfectly legal to make a backup or duplicate file or DVD so long as you don't turn around and resell it and it's for personal use only.
EDIT: So it's illegal to copy a DVD? Interestingly, no. Judges have said that consumers have a right to copy a DVD for their own use—say, for backing it up to another disk or perhaps watching it on another device, such as an iPod. That's the same "fair use" rule that made it legal to tape television shows for watching later, perhaps on a different TV. The problem is that consumers can't duplicate DVDs without software tools that get around the copy protection on those disks. It is those tools that Congress outlawed.
EDIT: Had to partially edit my post as I was partially correct. Sorry about that goodintentions.

Yup, although it depends on where you live, of course. We in the US have some of the dumber restrictions, such as those you mentioned. It's legal to copy DVDs for personal use...the tools that will perform the decryption, however, aren't.
Personally I believe it's every citizen's duty to defy unjust laws, so I make tons of copies of my DVDs.

Your not alone, I feel the same way.
From an ethics perspective there's no difference in downloading and sharing. The other leechers could be doing the same thing you are.
From a prosecution standpoint it leaves your vulnerable, which is why off-shore VPNs, private trackers, and other protective means are useful.

Wow, you must have some kind of wonderful on download speed because I can rip and burn or rip and transcode in just under 20 minutes. I like to rip my own movies that way I know and can control exactly what I'm getting. I've tried torrenting movies but then I'm getting some copy in PAL format and hard subtitled in Russian or Swahili or something. It's really annoying.
If you really want a good movie to download I would suggest a straight rip from a Blu-ray but the size is anywhere from 35gb to 50gb in size and can take a hellacious amount of time to download, especially if there aren't a lot of seeders and there harder to come by too.

I was actually thinking about Blu-Ray, when I quoted that, which takes some time to encode (plus I trust the encoding skills of release groups way more than my own). While a DVD doesn't take long to encode anymore, it's still way quicker to download them on my FIOS connection.
I've downloaded quite a few Blu-Ray rips, but honestly there's no noticeable difference in quality, when compared with an x264-encoded .mkv, especially when viewing across the room on an HDTV. Sometimes I end up reencoding those (or redownloading another version) for space purposes.
