I'm trying to find some freeware that will let me rip my DVD's to my Axim x51. I've found plenty of pay software, but nothing that's free and does a good job. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hotbrass, welcome to Aximsite. I have the perfect solution for you! Click this . It's a tutorial with links for the free software called Fairuse that you'll need to convert your video for the Ax. It's easy to use but a little time consuming. I created the tutorial b/c the first time I used it I found it to be a little confusing.

If you do NOT have the x51v, and DO have the x51, then make sure you follow the directions for a QVGA device, not for a VGA device. You can post here or PM me if you have more questions.

I still prefer this tutorial. With the newest version of PocketDivXEncoder, you can get great quality videos in very managable sizes (even on VGA). It's not very complicated either.

I use fairuse to encode my dvds to xvid. www.fairusewizard.com

I have a question. I have a dvd recorder and I record stuff off the tv to dvd. I can use fairuse to convert the recorded dvd as long as I use the higher resolution on my recorder that produce 4 or less hrs of record time. When I record in extended mode ie: 6 hrs/dvd fairuse does not recognize these as dvds or at least it cant find any vobs to convert because the files come out as vcds or svcds . Any solution to this? I want to use the 6 hr mode because it saves space and if its gonna be watched on my pda anyway I dont need the higher resolution.
