Is there much by way of free utility programs like formatting SD Memory Cards etc avaiable via this or other forums or anywhere on the Web.
And also, what's a good site to get hold of MP4 of anything, just to try out quality of viewing on XDA?
:?: :roll:
Thanks in advance

I want to be able to watch movies on my XDA2 but do not know how to. Is it possible and if it is what would i need to do or get. Do i need a program on the XDA2. Which program would be the best to use?
Please could you help me because i really like my xda2 and want to watch movies on it.
Thank-you
The best way to watch movies on it is to go to www.handango.com and buy DVD to Pocket PC it's a program that compresses a dvd to about a mb for every minute of footage. You'll need an SD card to hold it- don't get a 128mb get a 512mb or 256mb at the least. The program works good I've used it on a load of films andit works on 95% but every odd dvd won't let you compress it. Te only thing to keep in mind is that if you get a huge Sd card everytime you get a phoncall it has to load up the card before the XDA2 will ring - on my 1gb card it can be about 4 rings sometimes. www.complett.ie is the cheapest site i've found for SD cards -1gb for 100 euros or £60
dimmy u can play movies on ur xda using softwares like pocet divx encoder and beta player , these r excellent stuff . u can find a long discussion on this topic on this forum cant remember where ..
Windows Movie Maker has an option to make (wmv) files for pocketpc devices. I ues beta player (i think it works really well). Another option is to use virtual dub or something and re-encode the file to a size that fits the screen. When I have do it that way, I also rotate the image 90 degrees.
Yo everbody
u can encode wmv movies with windows media encoder free download
Can someone help please?
I have just copied the TV highlights of a particular cycle "tour" on to my hard drive and in turn on to DVD. How can I put this video footage onto my PDA to watch during lunchtime, etc?
There are 2 directories on the DVD - these are VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. I assume that this is all needed on the PDA to watch what I have of the tour.
Do I need special software? One person tells me that all I need to do is change the *.VOB to *.MP4. This doesn't appear to work.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Having re-read what I have just typed - the title doesn't make it clear what I am trying to do.
The DVD bit was just a way of transferring from my TV set-top hard-drive to my PC.
I then want to copy from my PC to my PDA.
All I am ultimately trying to do is be able to watch what is on my hard-drive on the PDA. It just so happens the video codecs (something I dont' know a lot about) and file formats *.VOB don't appear to let me watch what I want.
Thanks.

Spb Mobile DVD is a pretty popular app that'll convert DVDs to a format you can view on your PPC. It's not free, but it's worth the cost if you get good use out of it. It's also really easy to run.
I'm also moving this to a more appropriate forum.

Hi TaurusBullba.
Thanks for the tip.
Doing this kind of conversion how much disc space would 1Gb of VOB file take up - do you know?
Is it cheaper direct or could I get it anywhere else?
How does it deal with copyright protected discs?
Thanks again.
S.
since pda's have a res of 240_320 and 480_640
and dont support surround sound
and can use formats which take up less space then
old mpeg2 which is used in vob's on the dvd's
so the movies will be much much smaller then the dvd is

I guess I'm looking for a program to convert my DVDs into mp4 so I can drag and drop into tab. Google searched but was baffled at so many programs, it was confusing. Any input will be appreciated.

Any DVD Converter from AnvSoft is a great program for that, it has profiles for different devices, but it's not free.

Handbrake is a good program for video conversion. Makes mp4 compatible files and can deal with most dvds i have chucked at it. It works on the main platforms too.
Oh and its free and open source!
Tried handbrake and it works better than the paid programs, tried demos of the paid programs but wouldn't work on purchased DVDs, some crap about digital rights, supposedly you only use these
Programs to make copies of copied videos on a disc. They never made it clear if purchasing there product would allow you to copy a dvd and change formats. I paid full price for all my DVDs ,I should have a right to do and copy whatever I feel like with my DVDs ,so there!
If need to convert DVDs to mp 4 handbrake will do it for you. Free.

I collect movies and have about 750 at the present time. I would like to download a few at a time to my SD card and watch on trips, etc. When finished watching, would delete and download others.
Is there a way to do this? Preferably free or at least not expensive. I have searched this forum in addition to this whole site, other Galaxy Note forums and Google with no definitive answer. Everyone has a different solution. There is one thread over two years old here but still not sure what is best way.
Expected this to be a simple task but seems it may not be possible. If it is not, is there a tablet that will let you do this? One of the reasons I purchased a tablet was to watch my movies....

The easiest way to do it would be using a ripping program, such as Handbrake, to convert the DVD to a video file that you can then transfer then to your tablet by connecting it to the computer. You could transfer some movies to your SD card and when you're done with them you can just delete them and put some more. Here is a video tutorial from the site Lifehacker for Handbreak:

Why you don't use a Player that can play you original DVD File?
Ripping is sucks. ☺

Because that would be a 4gb file or even 8. An avi though would be 1gb if you didn't have that great quality. We are working with an SD card that has very limited space. So size is a big problem. Don't forget that there is also probably more stuff that uses the space of the SD card such as pictures and music. And also the stock samsung video player app doesn't support vob files which are the DVD files.

Thanks for the info. Did exactly what you recommended. Downloaded Handbreak and added the livedvdcss.dll pgm. Loaded a DVD into my pc and followed the instructions to the letter, even using their Help function. After a bunch of attempts, I gave up and will probably just get a cheap portable dvd player and leave this tablet home. Also tried the AVC program recommended on another forum with the similar results. After spending several hours on this, it is just not worth it. Wish I had never bought this tablet. Should have bought one with Windows 8. Surely could watch dvds on those........

Yes I know about the size, but I play my video files in full HD. Not converted! Size between 8 GB and 20 GB.
I use a 64 GB micro SDXC Card.
How many Videos you want copy a the same time [emoji54]
Of course, you can't play it with the original Samsung player, but you can install a other.

OK. Then you could try Freemake Video Converter. It's the program that I use. It's really easy. But the actual problem is that if you don't have an nvidia GPU it's sloooooow and if you leave the default settings it will make big files. I actually use it with an AMD gpu on my desktop it's not that bad. If you have a very slow computer don't try it. But for me this is the best for my needs, mostly because it works with Greek subtitles too. If you have some time check it out. After you install it you just have to select a DVD folder. You can either select the actual DVD drive or use a program such as DVD decryptor - which I also use - to copy quickly all the DVDs you'd like and then select the folders. Or if you don't want to convert the files just do what buell47 says. Copy the files that DVD Decryptor made and use a player that that can play those files, such as MXPlayer. I hope that these methods will work!
Don't know if this makes a difference but my PC is a Lenovo G500S touch laptop with Windows 8.1, Intel i5 processor, 1tb drive and 6gb RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4000. The DVD player does not read Blu-Ray, only standard DVD's.
There are so many video converters available, surely one will do what I need.
All I want to do is download my own DVD movies so I can place on my SGN 10.1 GT-N8013 SD card to watch on trips, etc. Hopefully I can download several and delete and add others as I watch them. They probably have some sort of copyguard so need something that will allow them to be downloaded properly.

Since you have an Intel GPU I would not recomend using Freemake Video Converter. Instead use DVD Decryptor which will bypass the copyguard to rip the movie, transfer the file to the tablet and use MXPlayer to play it. DVD Shrink is another program that does the same as DVD Decryptor. Both work fine for me. Do you have a big Micro SD to put all the movies? If yes, then the solution above is the best. If you don't, then that would gain a lot of space, so I would recommend finding a USB stick that you could put the movies on and then use a USB-OTG adapter that would convert your tablet's charging port to a usb port so you could plug the usb stick and play the movie of it. Be careful tough. A hard drive wouldn't work because it's too power hungry for the tablet. So try using DVD Decryptor and MXPlayer and tell me if it works.
