I finally got my rips working NICE!

Downloaded the mechanic last night in 1080p. Converted using DVD Cats highest encoding, shrunk the file from 17gb to 7gb. Plays perfectly on my 55" LED TV from the hdmi out.

just got the incredibles 1080p, used HQ2 setting sincer I wont be watching on my TV. Went from 7.5gb to 2.6 and looks/sounds amazing on my Xoom

Highly recomended

I agree 100%. I just re-encoded The Incredibles using DVDCatalysts 4 HQ1 Profile and it looks and plays Awesome, it's 1.92gb (this is the Blu-Ray of course). I also have (Cars, Monsters Inc, Avatar, Percy Jackson, MegaMind, Kung Fu Panda & Toy Story 3:)

Have you compared HQ1 vs HQ2? Im just curious how they look and size difference. I've only used HQ2 and the 1080p setting

Are you guys using the free version or did you splash the $10? I don't mind Handbrake but it's not the best/easiest GUI.

+1 for Moboplayer & DVD Catalyst. I paid the 10 bucks and it was well worth the money. Handbrake is good, but DVD Catalyst just makes it too easy to get great quality rips

The only thing I would add would be a command line interface so I could write a Powershell script to automatically encode a batch of movies in my library.

Yes, you can. you can add a multiple files in multiple locations. You can even add folders (in you want to convert a complete series season for example) of seperate files.

The only problem I am having is that if I have a multi language, it doesn't convert it to the chosen language.

btw: I have the full paid version. The USD is cheap for me in Europe :)

I ripped a couple 1080p movies last night using DVD Catalyst with the Xoom HQ2 settings, and for some reason when I play them back on the xoom it WILL NOT stop fast forwarding. Just skips in about 22-25 second intervals like I'm holding the seek button....Anyone got a clue what could cause that?

sounds like a botched conversion.

did you test on another player on your xoom to see if it does the same thing? are these rips from disks you own? or are they downloads off the net?

did you make any adjustments to the stock settings in the program?

were you multitasking on the same computer that was also doing the conversions?

what movies?
