Blu-Ray Digital Copies

[Beherrschen]

The digital copy of movies that come with blu-ray movie can't be played on my HTC Diamond. I don't have itunes and tried to use windows media player to transfer it. However, it tells me that it can't transfer it to the device because it isn't supported by the device. I have also transferred the movie using active sync... still no luck. Any advice on how to make my diamond capable of playing the movies would be appriciated. FYI I have a Sprint diamond.

You may be able to use windows media encoder to convert the video.
It is impossible to play 1080p videos on any windows mobile device. It doesn't have the resolution or the power to run it.

He's not trying to play 1080p, he's trying to play the digital copy that comes with some Blu-Ray discs now.

I understand that Digitalcopy is pretty locked down to a few pieces of hardware - with Sony studios supporting PSP/PS3 combo and Fox going for the iPod/iTunes route for example.

They are still DRMd so that is probably your problem.

Thank you for your input. I have to admit that I am gonna have to look up DRMd.

Last night I transferred the movie using my diamond as a disk drive (getting around the bad reformatting that active sync does). I tried using the photo album player and the wmp but the photo album just showed a blank screen and did nothing while the wmp told me to upgrade my player to play protected content. It then took me to a link for upgrading wmp on windows xp... Don't really want to have to carry around my PSP all the time to watch the digital copies.

I was trying to do this same thing Friday night with the "Hitman" Blu-Ray digital copy.
It dloaded to my laptop (after using the license key), then I transferred it to my Touch Pro. Went to play it and it booted up the internet browser, went to a web site where I tried to put the license code in again and it wouldnt allow it.

I'm thinking I should have had the phone hooked up and in disk drive mode when I started the original transfer, installing to my SD card.

Be interested to hear if anyone gets this to work.....
