Dvd to the PPC

[patterns]

hi guys,

im looking for something to compress some home/family movie clips to my phone. they are about 3gb each and i would really like to get them down to as small as possible say 100mb-500mb or whatever is possible.

been searching the web and cant really find anything. the best i found was to convert to divx

any help please

you could use something like an ipod converter so it will majorly cut it down in size (though it may be the wrong resolution and look crap), or try dvd2avi and specifically set the resolution u want it to :)

cool mate thank you very much trying it now

personally i use Gordian Knot.

It is a program that uses a combination of smaller products (hence the name Knot) (like DVD-ripper, Virtual Dub, Vobsub etc) in order to rip a dvd.
You can use it for ripping dvds as well as modifying a movie. You can select the resolution yourself, a long with a lot of features.

I have to say that this is a bit advanced and you will get lost if you dont do your homework...There is a tutorial (google is your friend :D ) and once you do that you should be set to go..

Just a note, when i started using it, progress was slow but now i can do everything quite fast..
If you have the time, patience and good quality movies, you cant go wrong with this :D

ps: i make xvid format films with it, but divx is also supported

I have to say that this is a bit advanced and you will get lost if you dont do your homework...

and nobody uses this anymore because there are 1click solutions that do it better and faster... this is a tool that is 5000 years old

To convert from dvd, xvid, divx, ... to an avi/wmv that fits on your htc, without tutorials, without advanced nonsense go for SPB mobile DVD

you can even tell the converter to not exceed a certain filesize, so I guess this fits yours needs perfectly

I have found iSoft DVD to PPC converter to be the best I have come across so far. I have been looking at this type of software since I bought a 4GB Sony Ericsson about 3 years ago approx. I have used the iSoft about 11 times already to convert the 11 DVD's I currently have on my 16GB Touch Pro

i like clonedvdmobile or spb mobile dvd
otherwise there are plenty of movie convertors which will convert/downsize movies
