dvd movies?

[fondoo]

i am traveling this week for the memorial day weekend. i ripped some of my dvd movies and would like to transfer them to my xoom. are there any converters in the market and what format do you guys recommend? what app plays movies on the xoom? thanks in advance.

I use DVD FAB, I have it set to rip to AVI format, tried MP4 but that didnt work very well, would play nicely on the PC but not on the xoom, I use RockPlayer to play using Software Compression

It is not free, but DVD Catalyst is well worth it. It creates very good quality files that play perfectly on the Xoom. They have several presets for the Xoom based on how you plan on watching (Xoom or HDMI).

If you have already ripped your movies you can still use those files with DVD Catalyst, but it can also rip them for you.

I do not work for them or are in any way related, just a happy customer.

If it's a dvd rip, you might be able to get away with moboplayer's (or rockplayer's) software decoding mode. Get it (on your xoom) and try one or two of your rips before you convert everything.

ok guys. i use dvdfab to rip the movie and then purchased dvd catalyst 4 xoom to convert. i uploaded the mp4 video to the xoom and the movie does not play. i downloaded moboplayer with avi codec and it still doesnt play. what movie player do you guys recommend on the xoom??

Moboplayer should defo work. If not try that vplayer trial for 7days should last you for your trip :-D

The MP4 files created with DVD Catalyst play best using the stock video player (since it has better hardware support) however, Gallery tends to be a bit picky.
The best way is to use a file-explorer (es file explorer or root explorer for example) to browse and select the video.

edit: try directly from DVD rather than using dvdfab first. I am not sure if you changed any settings in DVD Catalyst, but try the defaults first. There is a Xoom guide (pdf format) included in the zipfile you downloaded. It makes things a lot easier

I use DVDFab to rip and convert at the same time right from my DVD disc. I use it for MP4/AAC at 20fps, subtitles turned off and choose 2 pass conversion. Comes out really nice. Terminator 2 took about 37mins on my PC and was ready to xfer to my xoom.

so the xoom isnt as easy to get and play dvd rips on as my galaxy tab,for that i just use handbrake and put it on the sdcard and plays perfect everytime was hoping when my xoom gets here it would be that easy. cause i have a bunch all ready ripped to use. their in mp4 format will those work(will handbrake work for xoom using default player)? thx
