Website for <128Mb movie's anyone?

[gooroo]

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.

[gooroo]

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:

Note - it's 608 pages long. Do read it all and let us know how you get on :)

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.

[vijay555]

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?

[l6cum]

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.
