which one is better?

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

ICONS : "STARGAZER" (and more...)

Hello and goodbye all,
I’ve just sold my HD2 as I didn’t need it anymore due to my company giving me a BlackBerry and not allowing me to set up the HD2 on the company e-mail system due to security…
I’d love to have kept it but I simply don’t need two phones.
I already miss my HD2 even though it wasn’t perfect, ref. quirky keyboard, in-car BT not compatible, always keep a spare charger nearby, (and one or two other little things).
In particular I already miss the nice big HD screen, in-built GPS with a variety of nav. software to choose from (I ran CoPilot and liked it), the fun side of the HD2 (good games and multimedia), and I really miss CHT and having all those shortcuts being just a quick swipe away!
(But I am already used to the BB connecting to my car BT automatically again though, and the battery lasting up to 3 days with normal use.)
I also miss the ‘moddability’ of the HD2, which brings me onto the purpose of my post...
I didn’t really have much time to spend on modding; I have a family, I like going out and I have a job – and I like sleep!
But, I did do a bit of stuff for personal use, some of it I have shared on here before (quite a while ago now). And this actually took me quite some time to do so I thought that I would share it with everyone rather than simply press delete on the HD2 folder on my PC. Maybe somebody else would like to use some of my templates to help them with their own work – that’s up to you, but here is some of my stuff anyway.
I ran my own icons on my HD2; I had about 98% of my apps covered. It was this project that I spent the most time on and is really what I want to share with you - please find STARGAZER icons within the attached .zip file. The other stuff I also ran on my HD2 but I’m not really bigging that up so much, but use if you like. (Please extract the .zip files properly to maintain the folder structure.)
I have also included some PhotoShop (Elements) files with the stuff I have attached, not for all icons due to file-size (I do still have all of them), but enough so you can use them again if you wanted to.
All of the enclosed image files are my own work, with the exception of the base icons. Most of the graphics I have made from scratch.
I have attached a screen shot from a previous post I made to show you the icons - I didn't like the clock in the image so I mad a different one with blue bubble digits - it's all included in the attached .zips.
The font isn't mine, I got it off of XDA, but I attached it just in case you like it and want to use it.
Please use them as you like (if you like)………..
Cheers,
Nick.
Maybe I'll see you again in the future...

Good Luck with the BB mate
thanks for posting your icons nniicckkss, look really good.
good luck in the future with your BB, my mate has a BB Bold and swears by it, maybe not as 'fancy' as the hd2, but having minimal software and OS issues must be nice lol

I really like your icons ! why not do some of these icons in windowsmobile software application? If you do it then thank you very much!

Thank you for your feedback.
I don't know how to cab these up, but I've no real interest in looking into this now as I've left Win.Mob. as my OS.
Please feel free if you or anyone else wants to do this - use them as you like.
I installed them all manually on my device!!

[APPS & Review] PDF "annotator" and viewer on the Note - MY solutions again! *g*

[APPS & Review] PDF "annotator" and viewer on the Note - MY solutions again! *g*
And again: Good evening folks!
This is some other “hey I have too much time, let´s post something on XDA” Stuff This chapter is about some good working PDF-Apps for our SGNotes!
I really don´t know if there is anybody out there reading a tons of PDFs & Ebooks as well (for university or going-so-sleep-reasons). Due to the size of my note and the ability to use it as an ebookreader as well, I was searching for Androids best PDF Apps (just for reading as well as for annotating stuff within PDF files).
And these are my results:
1.) Mantano Reader:
I LOVE the Mantano Reader! It is a bit expensive, but to me it´s definitely the very first choice when it comes to PDF and Ebook topics in Android. you can import nearly every filetype, it integrates them well into a nice looking databank where you can see how much percent of the book has already been read, it has a night mode (what saves battery pretty much), you can set up labels, you can highlight parts of the texts (and the highlighted parts are stored seperately & you are able to read only the highlighted parts of the text summed up
It is said that they are working on a newer version with backup & sync functions integrated...

Market Link
2.) ezPDF Reader
This is a very good tool for working on PDF sheets...you can highlight texts, you can annotate them, make some comments or add some graphics. And the app always kindly asks you, if you want to make an annotated copy of the original file pretty helpful!
Market Link
3.) SmartDevices PDF Reader
This is an app that I´ve just downloaded a fes hours ago and it seems just to be available in the samsung apps market, 'cause I can´t find it in the android market yet. The app itself looks a bit confusing in the beginning (not the most beautiful one), but it seems to have the functions of both apps (mantano reader & ezPDF) included! I need some more time with it, but it´s really fun to work with the pen here!
External Review
4.) Go Books
What should I say? The GO Team is doing a good job in every sense...coming from the VTL.Launcher, I just switched to GO Launcher with my note, because it seems to be the most stable one with minimum lag. The Ebook Reader is a joy to handle and really looks cool! I need some more experience here as well, so just test it out for yourself!
Market Link
Aaaand...that´s it for now!
...and if you like what you´ve just read, feel free to use the "thanks" button...feels so nice when the counter grows^^

Thanks for the info on smartdevices PDF reader! It seems to be the one that suits me the best cause it has the margin reduction function~

Smatdevice looks good but any highlighted text is covered. Cant read that part

Can´t check it out myself atm, but...are you sure that you are using the correct tool?
OT: Hellyeah, 300 posts^^ *shrug*

onenote mobile for andorid : The most anticipated note app is here

original thread.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22287924
One of the most anticipated app for android from microsoft is here
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.microsoft.office.onenote

Gag /10char gag

shows as incompatible for the n7000 =(

Installed from the market just fine for me. I used the web market, YMMV. FYI, I'm in U.S. on Criskelo v6.
Thanks for the heads up. You need a Windows Live ID to use it, but I do have some work shared One Note files that would be nice to use on the mobile. I find it a rather odd move for MS, considering that ( the built in office integration) would be the ONLY selling point I mention to my clients when they discuss purchasing a Windows 7 Phone...

Does not support sketching on notes.

Any feedback on its comparative analysis with Evernote?

Bah. The is really too little too late from MS. I'm still looking for that perfect cloud synced app. I use SMemo a lot, but also lose pages every now and again when I flash / crash / nandroid.

Doesn't even support viewing ink from the PC version of onenote. This happened with the office web apps when they first came out, but they eventually updated them to support the viewing of ink. Hopefully this will all come in time. I'm glad that Microsoft realized that android is a real platform that isn't going away and that they are putting some effort into development now. If they can make it usable enough such that I use my 500 note limit I will gladly pay the fee. For now it's their challenge to develop that usability.

I noticed this, not able to view files made on tablet pc. Probably 50% of my notes are in ink.

How do you highlight text and choose fonts, and seems very basic?

I agree . Very disappointed with what MS has come out with
missing so many features
- Does not show handwritten notes.
- Notes made only go to personal web folder and not in the folder that i make a new one
- Selecting fonts and stuff like that are missing
- cannot add files
- no handwritten notes possible.
and many many more.

Great post. The download works fine in Norway
Thanks

What a **** app. Waste of time!!!

Micro/Mini Android music device?

So, I know about the Wimm One, the Sony sports one, and the motorola one. Those aren't exactly what I'm looking for. I do a lot of walking at work sometimes during the week and my Samsung Note does fine for it, but it's a bit bulky to pull it out everytime I need to look at the screen. Batt life isn't much an issue thankfully. Is there such a device that...
1. can play music directly from the device
2. connects to a bluetooth headset
3. has a Micro SD card storage up to 32gb
4. has decent batt life
5. minor I suppose connect to my phone for txt and other notifications while still being connect to my BT headset (dunno if this is possible)
Thanks for your help.

Android mp3 players and other small devices
What maximum size screen screen size can you accept? I am not familiar with the products you mentioned, but it seems you are looking for the Android equivalent of an iPod Touch, which has a 3.5" diagonal screen. (I would not want a screen smaller, even for just an mp3 player.)
There are models of Android tablets with 5" or smaller screens. IMO, If an Android device has a screen large enough to function as a decent mp3 player, there is no point to limiting it to only playing mp3s, so I suggest you look for small Android tablets, game consoles, pocket computers and mp3 or media players.
I did a quick search, and Archos has some Android tablets with small screens that they sell as multimedia players in the range of $150-200, as well as smaller models (I found one with a 2" screen) that may not run Android. (They don't say, so I assume not.)
Also, there are the Samsung Galaxy Players, with screen sizes down to 3.6". They run Android and look a lot like an iPod Touch. The prices I'm seeing are about $130-150, which seem quite reasonable.
I did not check if any of the above support Bluetooth headsets or SD card storage; I just wanted to give you some ideas of where and how to start looking. I hope that was helpful, and didn't just tell you things you already knew.
Also, if you find a model that has Bluetooth, make sure it supports headsets before buying. ;-) I hope someone here can give you a specific product recommendation!

I'm looking for a device the size of the current touch nano. The wimm one and equivalents are the size of a large watch.

whats about that?
ww.w.imwatch.it/at-en/
delete the point between www
you have a 3,5 audio plug, tiny touchscreen, phonebook, can call peaople from your watch, write messages, check facebook and it makes you breakfast in the morning

^Man that website fails...
I've looked at that before and it didn't seem to fit the bill. Doesn't really matter anyway.
I went with a Motorola MotoActv w/ 16gb.
