Rip DVD to WM6?

[Zilch]

Ok, I give up...

What is the best software to rip (part of) a DVD so I can view it on my phone?

I have tried CloneDVD Mobile, but it just left me with a stuttery video file that won't play back smoothly. (Doesn't seem to have a generic "Windows Mobile" or "Windows Media Player 10 Mobile" setting...it's all iPod, iPod, iPod these days).

Look at the program DVDFab Platinum, one pass and you have an avi file playable on your 8525. Check the website: http://www.dvdfab.com :)

Thanks for everyone who replied...

I'm looking at DVDFab initially...but (colour me stupid) I can't see any preset which seems to suit PPC. Selecting PDA gives me a format for Palm. Under Cell Phones there is a setting for Windows SmartPhone, but the screen seems too small.

Should I use one of the Generic settings?

use the palm settings then change the following:

-size to 320x240
-audio to 128 kb
-video to 256 kb
-volume to 125%
-Subpicture/subtitles (on or off) up to you

-these are my personal setttings that yield a 2hr vid of about 350-400 MB
lower the video get a smaller video, but obvioulsy losing picture quality.

oh yeah save as default so you dont have to reset everytime

Do you have any extra codecs installed on your device? With these settings trying to play the file with WMP10 gives a "Cannot play the file" dialogue box on mine.

DVDFab (Trial) seems pretty annoying too. It doesn't show up in the Vista Alt-Tab list. It also won't recognise my Daemon virtual drive. A whole host of other minor interface issues under Vista too. :(

Pocket DVD studio is the best in my opinion.

You have lots of setting for audio (up to cd quality) and video resolution. Puts the files into wmv, and you put the slider at the beginning and end of what you want recorded (in case you don't want an entire dvd, or if you want to cut out all the credits at the end of a movie).
