which one is better? - General Topics

hello
which one of these softwares is better?and why?
"SPB Mobile DVD" or "pocket dvd studio" or "pocket dvd wizard"
thanks

I have not tried SPB's product, but I am using Pocket DVD for Palm for my HTC Universal. Basically the avi movie files can be played on both my Palm (Sony TH55/E1) and Pocket PC device (HTC Universal/O2 Exec) without any problems. The quality and sound of the pictures are great. I have no skipping whatsoever. There are a few types of DVD that I notice it can't convert though, the ones made by Walt Disney Pictures. I believe it has some sort of copy protection for softwares like these. It has no problem converting cartoons, both computer generated and animated. It has a slight dificulty converting Animated Cartoons created by Japan (ANIME) on fast scenes like "NARUTO", but the quality is still there. You will notice a slight choppiness on play back. It has no trouble converting US made cartoons though, like "The Avengers", "Iron Man", etc... It takes about 2 hours to convert a 2 hour DVD. Even a child can convert a DVD, as long as you got the combination of settings right for you, all you have to do is put the DVD on and press start. Wait for it to finish, and you're set. It supports a VARIETY of PDA screen sizes, so it is up to you to choose the right screen size.
I also own Makayama's DVD to PPC converter. I HIGHLY ADVICE NOT TO TRY THAT ONE. THEIR SUPPORT SUCKS!!!!!!! IT IS LIKE PAY NOW AND NO SUPPORT LATER. THEIR PRODUCT IS HARD TO USE FOR A NEWBIE LIKE MYSELF. THEIR CLAIM IS THEY CONVERT DVDs FAST AND PACKED INTO A SMALL AMOUNT OF MEMORY, BUT THEY NEVER MENTIONED IT ALSO SHORTENS THE SCENES LIKE SOMETHING WAS DELETED OR LEFT OUT.
Maybe others can tell you how SPB works.
Enjoy watching...

spb mobile dvd is nice and easy to use.
And yes, Makayama's support sucks. The best I have found is "pocket dvd wizard"

pocketdivx encoder is just the best:
-it's freeware
-it has all important features
-it supports 2pass encoding --> better image quality

what do you think about "pocket dvd studio"?

please opine!

Totally agree.
Mr. Zarei, sometimes a free program can do a much better job than a commercial soft.try Pocket Divx Encoder, I bet there won't be a comeback

Works
only my Umts/gprs is capped because of T-mobile
so Not much streaming tv for me
works very well and excellent info.
Works fine, yeah. Plays better in WMP than in pIE by a long way, though.
Is there an easier way to play in WMP? At the moment, I'm viewing the source of your site and finding the .asx link to type in manually.
It was rather late at night, perhaps I just missed something obvious?
Hi,
thank you echo, eye finish there combo - boxing on playback in IE - MP, then will you can choose.
Now page decides where divide stream according as will announce IE.
MSIE 4.01 play in WMP (WM5-) and other MSIE X.XX play in IE (WM6)
IE store info in registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Version = "MSIE X.XX"
sorry graz to be off topic. can you tell me which keyboard app are you using. i saw it up on the image posted in your 1st post.
And yes anyone know how to use Media streaming. . Can one use the tv url and watch it there.I tried but got errors.
It's Resco, no?
works good for me! used wifi to connect. seemed to be a little choppy tho.
also ...sky sports and bbc didnt seem to work
works good for me
I am running this on WM5. It works fine especially ABC NEWS. Is there a way to play the TV using TCPMP. If I use WMP, the screen is too small.
New switch for internal / external player :

Internet-Radio APP for PPC [TopaZ]

Hi guys
My Girlfriend got herself a Nokia E71 - nothing to be jelous about, if u got a Topaz
But there was an APP i really miss on my Topaz. She has an APP for Internetradio Stations, where she can search for Genre and/or Name and stream it directly.. pretty awsome.
Is there an app like this for Pocket PC for free? Or is it possible to make the Nokia app run on WM6.5?
OR does someone got Tips, how I can stream Internet-Radiostations on my Topaz? (but I really prefere an app like the nokia one)
[i tried the search funktion, but doesn't got what I was looking for]
thanks
greetz Vashi
Try Resco-Radio. It's not free but a great app.
Yes, Resco radio is the best one....
I would happily pay for a good internet radio app, but Resco still doesn't support wma streams (which unfortunately excludes all my favourite stations). This, in my opinion, severely cripples it.
If you're in the UK and want to listen to the BBC amongst others, MyPlayer is suitable.
Otherwise, any other ideas are welcome...

Thanks for that, it looks good. They're a bit shy about the price on their website, but googling elsewhere it seems to be about $10. It does seem to have a very comprehensive worldwide station listing

I can also recommend Wunderradio, I think it supports the most radio stations worldwide.
Hey guys just as a follow up
I was intrigued by the description of Wunderradio
I already played with the Hardware FM radio in my Pure/Topaz
And results, where as can be expected for a pocket FM radio
But Wonderradio generally has a large channel selection not limited to
the local stations and signal quality had been very good
(as good as your data connection in your area)
I'm visiting Tucson and its been very good around town
They have a 15 day free full feature trial and after that its price is
actually U$15. Give it a "look see" you can't go wrong
I will very likely keep and register this one.
(poor mans satelite car radio)

I tried WunderRadio and was very impressed with it. Pity they don't have access to Howard Stern on there, that would have topped it off.
And what about SPB Radio?
Kinoma.........
Not sure if its any good.... but this is free...

mp3 only
It's a bit crude compared with a dedicated player, but if you only need a few stations (as I do), then you can get the links from this website:
http://www.listenlive.eu
If you browse to this in Opera, you can find the stations you want and then click on the relevant MediaPlayer links. Save the files somewhere on your device or storage card. You can then open them from file explorer and stream the station in MediaPlayer...

[REQ] HD2 as PS3 media control

Hi guys!
As a lot of other people, I use my PS3 more as a media center / Blu-Ray player, then I'm actually playing on it. Every time I sit down to watch a movie from my media server or a BD-disk, I'm annoyed of how bad the PS3-remote looks. Especially when my beautiful HD2 is always laying next to it.
So:
I was hoping that some of you geniuses here might have the same impression as me, and see the value in a "HD2 PS3 media control"-app, which uses Bluetooth.
I would think that it only needs directional buttons for maneuvering in menus, a OK-button, the "Playstation"-button and the 4 actionbuttons; X, O, [] and /\.
With so many PS3-owners in the world, I'd guess that this application would be quite "sellable" for the developer as well
Cheers, Eirik.
Would like it =D!
HD2 as PS3 media control
Hey
Go to mobilesrc.com and try Mobile Remote. Works pretty well on my Touch Pro 2. Didn't get my HD2 in the mail yet. Might not be exactly what your looking for but it works with the PS3.
hmm.. i'm watching this thread.. this could prove to be interesting..
Hi
Mobile remote is ugly .... and send me an error :10038 (Failed to load driver)
Another idea ?
Thx

I asked the dev already, Mobile Remote does not work with HD2 bluetooth stack.
I made a little "mock-up" of how this might look, and would enable us to control most of the PS3's functions with the HD2's brilliant touch screen.
Unfortunately I was neither allowed to post the picture, the link or even put the link to the picture in a code-box :-/
Anybody? ... anything?

I just use Tunebite Youtube Downloader for the job since this one besides being able to download and save youtube videos can also work as a Youtube to mp3 ripper and convert youtube flv to mp3 files I can use on my pc, mobile devices etc.
Plus Tunebite also has a menu to configure individual Audio and Video profiles depending frame rate, frames-per-second, resolution etc. to help setup audio and video files perfectly for pc and each mobile devices and to save space with smaller files.

[Q] 3D video to 2D

just wondering are there any programs that can convert a 3D video into a 2D video...not looking for Premiere or After Effects type things where I'd have to resize and stuff. Just an easy program where I can select either left or right image and convert to 2D..
not tried it, but this may be able to
http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/
the photo version easily saves 3d to 2d
Don't think there is such a converter available as there are quite a few types of 3D movie available. Some of those just can't be convert back to 2D movie in an easy way. The only one that I can think of which might had a chance for conversion is the steroscopic 3D using Vegas Pro 10. But that is more a movie editing software and is not cheap or easy to use.

I don't see why not, only anaglyph displays 3D using a 2D image so cannot be converted back. All other formats have two unique 2D images so to convert back to the 2D you just throw away the additional image.
There are even 2D glasses for the cinema that do this, so you can go see a 3D film with your friends even if 3D gives you a headache, you just see it in 2D.
I have never done this myself but for a side by side video file you would simply crop the image, so you have just the left half, then encode it as a new video file (or if its Half-SBS you will have to also resize it width wise back to the original aspect ratio).
Its going to be messy, as it will always be a lossy process but it should be relatively simple to do in most good editing software. Although personally I rarely edit videos so I have no idea what would qualify as good editing software, just that it can be done.
OK, try the freeware I linked to above, I just tried it, it can convert 3D to 2D, PLUS, it even converts anaglyph to 2D or side-by-side 3D!! (didn't think it was possible, but just tried it and it works!)
screenshot, on left is video I downloaded from youtube playing in VLC, on right, same image loaded into the software, left and right image at top and interlaced image at bottom

Well of COURSE its possible to convert anaglypth too, but its not possible to convert it at good quality so I would never consider it worthwhile. Converting SBS however will be almost as good quality as the original.
Wow that's cool I gonna try it out
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
great discovery, gonna give it a go myself...thanks

(I thought the same!)
That wasn't the point anyway, I was getting at the software can even convert anaglyph so can easily do SBS
Yes, I could have been clearer as obviously I meant it can't be converted back to a clean 2D version, just as it can't be converted to a clean SBS version either.
Anaglyph just sucks period, always did, and I didn't actually think anyone would bother to try to be honest. The example above says it all, poor quality with awful colours.
SBS on the other hand can convert back to 2D perfectly, you wouldn't even know the difference unless someone told you.
I should shut up now before I look any more foolish.
