COPYING DVD TO PPC ? - General Topics

Thanks to Spb Pocket PC Tips and Tricks (some very useful info here), I've decrypted my DVD with DVD Decrypter, ran AutoGK, and PocketDivXEncoder. DVD is now on SD card and I play it with BetaPlayer. Problem is I only get the 'Director's Cut' soundtrack and not the original soundtrack. The file on my PC plays the original. Anyone any ideas ?

Aparantly you have selected the wrong sound-track.
It should not bepossible (unless you created a multi-audio DivX) to have 1 single AVI playing different audio on different hardware.
Tip:
For this purpose Microsoft has the Windows Media Encoder suite.
AFAIk it has all the important options.
No need for extra players/codecs on the PPc!

Essentially true but BetaPlayer is more flexible, will play a greater number of formats and remembers where you left off which WMP doesn't.

AVI (DivX) Play on MDA3?

Hi guys
I've read a few similar requestes from others regarding playing .avi files on XDA/MDA pocket PC.
I have quite a few full length films in .avi format, abot 700mb each.
What software can I use to play these on my MDA3? I have a 1Gig SD card so shouldn't be a problem storing them.
I tried RealPlayer for pocket PC but that wouldn't play them. I have seen mention of BetaPlayer. Did a search for that and found 1000's of hits but none I downloaded would install!!!
Any help appreciated
John
i never had any problems with beta player
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1080
make sure it's arm / xcale you get
I'm using v0.04 and find it very good. I use the vidx codec for encoding rather than divx - should be in nemo codec pack. Though you might have problems playing AVIs intended for the desktop - I encode the AVIs for PPC with a max res at 320x240. Though to be honest I don't think I've tried to play desktop AVIs on my PPC.
Cheers guys,
I can get to the site http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1080 no problem BUT when I click <Download ( ARM/XSCALE )> I get a message saying hang on 3 seconds and you'll be redirected but it never happens!
It may be a problem my end as I have noticed some problems acting some sites.
I'll search for it elsewhere.
Thanks
John
Attached is v0.04 that I downloaded a while back
I convert them to WMV using Windows Media Encoder (free download from Windows Media area of MS Website) and just play them in WMPlayer on PPC.
Done a 300Mb AVI the other day, using the Pocket PC defaults option in WM Encoder, just changed the output resolution to 320x240 (XDAIIs Widescreen) and it compressed down to about 40Mb.
Perfect picture quality and Audio.
Thanks for the replies guys
How long did it take to re-encode the file down to 40Mb?
John
About 1hr, although this was on a not over powerful IBM laptop (P3 1Ghz 512mb ram)
I'm sure this would be cut down drastically on a decent desktop as the WMVEncoder seems to be quite CPU hungry

Your movies really shouldn't be that big.
Convert them to the right resolution for your PDA using Pocket DivX Player.
Perhaps they'll come to about 200MB.
Anyone can tell me which one is the best for us in term of file size, video and audio quality for PocketPC (especially O2 XDA II mini) device before I convert all my DVD to .mpg or to .wmf.
Thank you in advance
Arto.
Cheers again,
Yup, I did compress my avi files and ended up with just unde 200mb providing good quality when viewd on the MDA.
The conversion was quite quick - about 30mins or so, I was thinking it might have been an overnight job!

Help me fix pocket player. or suggest alternative player

Ok, so i really would love to fix few problems in pocket player, namely, there are a few of my songs just not playing for some reasons, they are mp3 just like all the others ripped from their discs just like the rest but just wont work, any suggestions?
also, the library seem to have a problem in common with WMP, at least for where i get songs ending up in unkown albums or artist (in wmp i also get multiple albums with the exact same name under the same artis when they really should be one album)even though they are put in the correct album/artist in my computers wmp library.
Please any suggestions what might be wrong? I have put the music on the card several times both by the phones link cable or the memory card plugged directly in to the computer.
Also feel free to suggest any good free media players, mortplayer is good, but i cant seem to find a way to get it to work in landscape mode so... otherwise its great with its changer mode and all...

TCPMP is another option, but will be good to know which ones you already tested so we can help you better
Ive tried,
WMP
MortPlayer
Pocket Player
S2P
this far pocket player is my favourite axept for the stated problems (and it could really use a change mode, switching album when the current ends), though mort is perfectly fine, except for the lack of landscape mode
(as for those few songs that wont play in pocket player, they play in the other players ive tried)

Can Pocket Player play AAC files?
I'm sure before I did a hard reset on my Xperia I had it playing those files. Maybe I am wrong, but it seemed to play everything from my iTunes library but the protected files, and now it plays only mp3 not m4a.

Yes it will play AAC files.
As far as not seeing or playing the other files, it could be the encoding/ripping that was done. What program did you use and how did you tag the MP3's? That will have a great impact on the result of Pocketplayer seeing and playing the files.
I personally love Pocket Player and will use nothing less. There are a lot of great apps out there, but PP has everything in it including the kitchen sink.
If you would like to try and re-rip some of your CD's I recommend you use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with the lame format. You can google EAC and lame's latest download. Then google EAC setup and you will find a few great reads on how to set it up perfectly for what you want, even AAC if you desire.
Just my two cents.
I've had problems with songs not showing in the library or being shown in another album or artist. This was due to missing correct data in the AlbumArtist tag of the files (songs). I just updated these tags for all my songs and the library now displays them correctly. Also, some other files, like small wavs will not be included in the library if you have checked the HIDE SMALL FILES... option.

My Pocket Player did used to play my m4a files, but since I did a hard reset and have installed the latest version of Pocket Player when I load up an album that is in m4a file format, it wont play. It shows them, but wont play them, exactly as if they were protected files bought from the iTunes Store, which in the case they are not.
I've tried going back to the old version of Pocket Player, but the same problem now happens there.
I've used Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my Mac to put the files across, and they work fine on Core Player.
It's bad enough that my Xperia wont play protected aac/m4a files without all now not playing... eek...

Compatible media players.

Hello. I've been trying out different media players on my XDA flint (X7510) which currently has the stock O2 ROM, and have had varying levels of success. Most of this post is about playing video files of verying format (.mpg .mpeg .avi etc)
TCPMP: I used this exclusively on my XDA Exec and rarely had any problems, but it seems to crash on many of my mpg files on the Flint. I've tried the original 0.72 cab, the 0.81 (which I don't think is official) and the 0.72RC1-recomp-03 cab which seems to work well on other WM6.1 devices. Of all these the 0.72 cab is the only one which will actually load.
Core player: From the same developers as TCPMP, this is their commercial app. It loads ok but I personally find the GUI ugly and confusing, the TCPMP interface is much cleaner and user friendly. Again, this app won't play all of the video files I've tried, so I guess more work is needed with codecs?
Pocket Player: This apps GUI is quite nice and navigation to files is easy with many helpful (anf finger friendly) menus to select content. Again, it couldn't play all of the media files I threw at it, but it didn't crash at all.
Summary.
I'm either going to have to convert any video files into a compatible format before watching on my Flint (which means I'm still not free of the PC) or keep searching for a truly versatile player...any suggestions?
Phil.

Pocket Player does not work on my x7510 at all. It kills all sound from the device and I must uninstall and soft-reset the device to even be able to hear any sound from other players (like WMPlayer or Core Player). I have installed and uninstalled it 4 times and the same thing happened each time.

I use DVDFab to rip the DVD to my laptop as a .iso file type (about 7-8 GB). I then use DVDFab to convert the .iso to a MP4 file type and cut the file size down to about 2+ GB. Copy that to the external SD card for the tablet.
The stock movie player handles this just fine.
I use Handbrake, with the right support files installed (can't help you here, it Just Works on a Linux box with the Medibuntu repo added) it rips DVDs right off the drive with no problem.
I'll post my preset when I have some time.

In what filetype must i switch?
My old Pentium computer with a 166Mhz CPU (and also my 1st gen xbox) can play DVD iso files so I can't understand why our tablets can't do it. Especially now when the file system on our MicroSD cards allow +4Gb files.

if you're ripping the dvd's on PC I recommend using DVDfab - convert them to mp4, don't muck with the resolution but you might want to swith the audio from 5.1 to just stereo.
for the playback I recommend Super Video. After messing with various mobos, MX, real, and whatever else I got a hold of I was won over by Super with it's use of picture-in-picture, easy integration of subtitles, all the formats it can playback and built in screenshot tool (ya, I know, the tablet has one already). plus it has some nice sorting tools for the videos. The only annoying downside I found was that it'll list off what's in a .nomedia dir and doesn't have the option to ignore those directories.
here's to finding what works for you!

A 166 MHz Pentium is nowhere near capable of MPEG-2 DVD playback - If a device like that was playing DVDs, it had hardware acceleration.
These days, hardware acceleration focus has changed - MPEG-4 is the dominant codec. While I think technically our devices support hwaccel MPEG-2, it's not a high priority/focus due to the fact that it delivers very poor compression ratios compared to MPEG-4 AVC. The VOB container format used for DVD, while derived from the MPEG-2 program stream container, is a complex mangled mess. Since no Android device has a physical DVD drive, no one bothers expending time to support this format since it's easy for a PC to transcode from VOB with MPEG-2 video and AC3 audio to a format more appropriate to mobile devices.
MPEG-4 AVC (aka H.264) when combined with AAC audio can easily compress a full length movie to <1GB and retain excellent quality. A DVD, on the other hand, will typically be 4GB or more. In fact, most Blu-Ray movies will compress to 720p H.264 at <2GB while retaining excellent quality.
A 4x or more improvement in compression ratio is worth the time spent to transcode to H.264+AAC. (especially since you can just stick the DVD in, kick off Handbrake, and go to bed.)

i said why would anyone want to play .iso on our tabs? it is completely pointless just rip the dvd to mp4 format.
Would I say it'd be impossible to play DVDs? No,nothing is, but it begs the question of why it would be needed, if developed when you can rip it onto a 32/64/128 gb microsd card.
I do have one idea why, and it is because it allows people to use their DVD collection on their Droid without all that work.
Considering that Droid devices like Samsung's have the capability to use external drives so long as they are self powering, it all comes down to the software end. Like an emulator, the app or mod will need to supply the drivers or BIOS suitable for DVD drives and I know where such thing could be sourced from. Linux.
I know that Linux can play DVDs , so they must have the drivers out there to port to the Droid OS to insert via a modded Rom that supports DVD drives and thus, DVD playback. A DVD/Keyboard hybrid and a dock connector to hold the tablet would be a cool thing to undergo , especially since it would give the Note 10.1 and other tablets a laptop-like ability.
In fact , Samsung has done the DVD part, called the SE-218BB DVD / CD writer.
While I love the top concept, it seems useless unless it went a step further and had a keyboard. The only obstacle is that the form factor of the Note 10.1 first generation would look f'ed up with such a setup but next gen? If they did or a third party went for this setup to accommodate the Note's form like a certain iPad keyboard, that would in turn be pretty neat because it would make the Note 10.1 into a netbook with a DVD wallop.
Buy a DVD player that has WiFi sharing capabilities, either Asus or Samsung make one.
Why is it so hard to understand that some people don't want to convert their ISO files to other formats? I have a massive DVD collection on my NAS and it would be nice to be able to play them on my Note. With the DVD format you keep the chapter information which is nice on DVDs with music videos and karaoke DVDs for instance.
The Note is definitely capable of playing the mpeg2 stream... no doubt about it.
I've got a 13TB NAS so space is no issue whatsoever.

I saw this on Amazon in the review section I hope it works for you.
(1) Install mxvideo player on your tablet.
(2) Plug your dvd writer SE-218 into your tablet via usb.
(3) Press the eject button to eject the tray.
(4) While the tray is open, press and hold the eject button until the green light on the tray stays lit. Then release. This brings your dvd drive into av mode.
(5) Close the tray.
(6) Now, eject and open the tray and put in a dvd.
(7) Your tablet will now recognize your dvd as a usb device. Your tablet will appear to be frozen for about 10 seconds. Don't panic! It's just reading the dvd disc. Just leave it alone until it's read it.
(8) Using a file manager, navigate into the usb device and find a vob file that is big, like a couple gigs or so. Play it with your mxplayer.
VOILA! You can now play dvd's on-the-go. Please spread the word. Amazon is only selling this puppy for 34 bucks. Well worth it!
Edited
I forgot to mention. Every time you plug in your drive to watch a dvd, you will have to eject the tray and press the button for 3 seconds.
Can't get Power to even come on to dvd??? to follow instructions given...
Thanks for the feedback.... I tried doing as you instructed. I brought the Samsung Usb connector and connected the Dvd and I could not even get power to the Dvd player to come on.... So I checked to make sure that the Samsung Dvd was actually working..... I connected it to an actual power supply and the green light came on and I was able to pop open the Dvd tray. I disconnected it and went back to the usb connection and my device recognized that I had a High Power USB connector in but that's it.... No juice or No fire for the Dvd Player......no green light ever comes on....What am I doing wrong???? Or what do I need to do????
Thanks So Much for your help.........

wondershare, free on play market, can play DVDs: just rip the dvd and copy to sd card or barely copy it to sd card,
or you ca use MakeMKV to create an mkv out of the dvd: it takes space but it's faster than converting in divx or mpeg
do not forget you cannot copy files greater than 4gb to sd card, so after mkv is create just split it in two (I believe you can do it with makeMKV otherwise try MKVmerge)
wondershare is faster: just copy dvd to sd card, makeMKV you can leave out unwanted audios, subs and extra features

[Q] IFO support?

Hello everyone.
Registered user here of the pro version, I was wondering if its possible to implement IFO support when it comes to play a VIDEO_TS folder.
Playing vob files works great. I usually rip the DVD main movie via MakeMKV and play the resulting MKV with MPEG2 flawlessly, but when that main movie is greater than 4 GB I cannot do anything, because my device doesn't support any filesystem other than FAT32. That's why the IFO support would make this OK, copy vob files (1 GB) with IFO file and play as a standard VIDEO_TS folder (Im not talking about menus, just the IFOs)
Thanks

Normally if you start playing first vob file, then after completing first file mx will play the second vob file automatically. it'll be automatically added to the queue if it's in the same folder. (make sure "back to list" is disable in Settings 》Player)
Thanks.
Yes, I know that. The problem is when the movie has several audio or subtitle tracks, sometimes its unpredictable which one is gonna start with the next vob file, because the vob files by themselves don't have an identification of language other than 0x80-like, so you gotta change the track again and there's a pause that wouldn't be with an IFO file. Also, depending of the methods and tools of extracting the vobs, sometimes the length of the vob gets confused.
I am aware that is possible to watch a whole movie with this, I was just wondering probably this is not a big implementation (almost like a playlist?) and could make the playing of DVD movies an awesome feature. I understand this is not a feature most people would request, but I like not having to convert, just extract the movie, and watch it as is. Even when I know by H264 standards is a waste of space, but with 32gb cards that cheap nowadays, it's comfortable.
Thanks.

Great player and thanks very much for all the devs' hard work. I'm wondering, since I have more than 25,000 DVDs in my collection, if there has been any further consideration of implementing a full DVD play feature.
Thanks.
Any update on this? I would be prepared to pay money for a full DVD play feature to be implemented.
Thanks.
