size for nero movie files

the temptation to watch a movie on my 650 was too great not to try this. but at the default setting (approx the size of a 80min cd) you can really get no more than 2 movies on a 2 gb card. anybody experimented with the lower video quality? by the way, the screen may be tiny, but it is a great picture and the sound is amazing!

Mac solution

Looks like there are varied ways. If anyone has access to a Mac, I highly recommend Handbrake. It rips and encodes straight from the DVD. Very simple, very fast.

dr. divx

I've been using dr. divx along with an ati tv wonder card for quite awhile now to record tv for playback on the treo. The ati wonder card tivos whatever I want, and I then encode at a rate of 110 megs per hour with dr. divx, yielding about 7 hrs of video per 1 gig sd card. Its very simple and works flawlessly.

Just use PQDVD's DVD to Palm studio software. It's easy as 123.

This is more cumbersome way

This is more cumbersome and file sizes are way too big.

Instead we can use DVD Shrink(free) and then PocketDivXEncoder (Free) to do the conversion.

If you have installed new Divx 6 coded, you can get top quality 320x320 by full movie for somewhere around 150/200MB.

A BETTER SOLUTION

First do a google search for both of these free programs: DVD Shrink 3.2 and PocketDivXEncoder_0.3.50. Install these free apps on your computer. First rip the movie off of the dvd using shrink. Do not compress the movie because it will be done by the next program. Then take those files and use encoder it. I use the PDA setting. Take those files and play them w/TCPMP.

Video Player

I use Kinoma Producer and Kinoma Player EX. They seem a lot easier than the solutions presented in the article, and not as expensive...
