whats a good video convertion program or method

lyrical10 · 03-30-06, 08:22 PM

Hi, I was wondering: whats a good free program to use to convert dvd video to be played on an axim x51v.

Also is there a way to do it using windows media player 10.

A have tried using pocket dvd studio (which cost $35 bucks) and I am having trouble playing the movies I have converted using it.

thanks for any help, Craig

and also a player as well ....

SOMPY Media Player version 1.0.0328

There's a Fairuse Tutorial (free) in my signature that's very simple to use and Free.

I have been using FairUse and it works great. Even cutting videos down to 350MB in size, the quality is really good.

I am using PocketDivXEncoder.

I use autoGK and it works GREAT. its quick, so painlessly easy, and the results are 98% accurate (being if you say you want a 500mb file, its pretty darn close)

also... make sure you're using a competent media player: ---TCPMP---
windows media player is nice, but well... no, actually it bites. stick to tcpmp

Pocket Divx encoder seems to be the easiest and the best..
