DVD > SD Card Software

I cannot find any freeware software to play a dvd film from an SD card on my MDAIII.
The reason I require freeware is because this is a one of job for a presentation.
If anyone can point me in the right direction :roll: I would be very gratefull.
THANKS in advance...... :wink:

betaplayer is the best I've seen for playing movies. Plays most formats and I think you can download additional codecs for it if need be.

Sorry:What I ment to also say is I am trying to record from dvd to mpeg4 on my hard drive and then put it onto SD card to play on my PPC.
But hav'nt found any free software to do the job..

Thanks to Spb Tips and Tricks, use DVD Decrypter, AutoGK and PocketDivXEncoder. Play on Beta Player. All of these are free !

thanks for the info will get searching >>>>>>>>>>>>

Stream DVD to PDA

Hello,
I purchased a NAS recently and have set about storing all my data. Also included in the upgrade were a new N router and N card for the laptop. The N stuff runs at 270Mbps which means I can now stream DVD/HD content onto my laptop (and a HD tele when I get one!). Anyways, I also convert DVDs to WMVs for my PDA, sad I know but I do it and use it.
So eventually I thought about about this; can I install a DVD player on my pda so I can stream it over my wifi network. I've looked all over the web and found nothing. Is there anyone out there with the same idea or least got a name of some DVD software for my PDA?
Cheers in advance...
Oh by the way, so far I must have at least 20-30 apps on my PDA and each one of them has been free, I would very much like to keep this record spotless!

windows media encoder can help you with the actual streaming, try it (should be free of charge).
now you need to think of something that will help encode your dvd into the media encoder, live of course.
will be happy to hear about the final solution you've found.
good luck...!

I cannot believe I got response so quickly! Only joined up recently but been reading this forum for a long time. I'll check out your suggestion shlomki and thanks for your quick response.
Ill post my findings, or further questions!

If Windows Media Encoder doesnt work, try VLC. www.videolan.org

Ok, so downloaded media player encoder, very confused but ran checkup utility and I do not have an appropriate dvd player on my laptop. My intervideo one started playing up so had to remove it. Now using AVSDVDPlayer. Moved on to VLC media player, thanks vlodeck for suggestion. Firslty the playback is much better than the AVSDVDPlayer, I struggled to broadcast a stream but I think I could sort it over time. I'll push on with that.
Still, I'm not quite sure these are the routes I want to take. I upgraded my PDA to wm6 recently and found I could no longer play my wmv's in TCPMP. After scouring through this forum I found all I needed to do was download these two DLL's and drop them into my windows folder on the PDA. Something to do with renaming codecs in wm6. I was hoping I could do this again, say download DVD codecs and drop them in the windows dir, then hoping to go to "open" and then be able to select a VOB file from either TCPMP or windowsmediaplayer.
The VLC method seems like I need to interact or at least save files that I wish to broadcast when really, I would just like to access VOB files on my NAS via the PDA with a vob player.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome, either with what has been suggested already or new ones!
Cheers.

got the vlc player to broadcast so I can view the strem on my pc on wmp. the next problem i encounterd was on my ppc. used the same url on ppc wmp as pc one and no joy
anyone had this part working??
cheers

WMV plugin for WMP

A lot of movies are coming out with digital copies & they are all in WMV format but our players don't support it.
I tried searching but all I found was the plugin for TCPMP, which didn't work too well. Anyway I would like to know if there is a plugin for WMP on our phones? I have a few of these digital copies & I would like to put them on my storage card for those boring days at work. If anyone has a plugin or a solution, I would really appreciate it.

Where are the movies?? Anyways, CorePlayer should play them, about $25 directly from CoreCodec, which should be cheap for you judging by your avatar !

What are you talking about? Windows Media Player plays WMV files. it's already on your phone.

Talking about certain codecs not included in WMP, so you need a different player. Most videos can't be played through WMP.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to not have to buy anything new but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, a new question... if I buy this coreplayer will it do everything tcpmp does or do I have to keep tcpmp on my Kaiser?
As far as the movies... I have Juno & AVPr right now but a lot of movies come with an extra disc right now that you can download it from... Look for it on the cover, it says digital copy right on it

Cool, I have to check out my friend's DVD collection . Anyways, CorePlayer does all the main functions of TCPMP, but a bit better, and I personally like the looks of it better. It has the YouTube function built-in, but currently you have a limited number of results, so if your looking for a specific video, you must type a lot. I use CorePlayer as my main video player, and still keep TCPMP with the FLV bundle to watch video directly from the web.

Sweet I been reading up on it since you suggested it & I'm sold on it now. Thanks I hope it plays these movies. I'll let you know as soon as I got it all set up

WACK!!! Same thing as tcpmp... Granted, it looks better but its the same outcome. The video will start but it won't play. It starts loading & then it stays like that forever. Occassionally it plays a clip of the sound but only a fraction of a second
Any tips for the settings to change Champ?

Video player

Hello
I got my Topaz for some time now, but i am wondering wheter i can use the video player from the "photos and videos" tab for everything.
I just can use it for selfmade videos and the sample which was on the phone.
I just like the design, thats why i am asking.
i tested coreplayer and vlc but both of them were really laggy.
windows mediaplayer is simply ugly.
Is there any way for using this player?
Jenson

Simply convert your video to mp4 format and your set. I recommend DVD Catalyst 3 it cost only about 10$ and can convert almost any format ready to play on your topaz. There are predefined settings for almost all devices and the list gets updated.

ok thats simple
I will try that out.
thanks for your help.

You shouldn't have to pay for an app. Here's one originally from the Touch HD forum:

Putting Movies on Nexus One and Good Video Player?

Im curious what methods you guys use to take a DVD and turn it into a playable video on your Nexus One, start to finish. Please be sure to include all steps and links to any and all software you use.
Also, any opinions on the best video players for the Nexus One?
Thanks!

Doubletwist.
Download the Windows software on your computer.
It will sync with your phone, and convert divx and such videos for you.
You basically Sync, pick the video, it does the rest. Takes a LoNG LONg time.
Video Player by jeff Hamilton is a good video player. very simple.
nemo Player also works. The apk is floating around this specific forum.

OK I tried to post but my post had links and since I'm a new member I can't post links. anyhow PM me and I can try to send you the links there

I use Any DVD Converter http://www.any-dvd-converter.com/
Has a Nexus One setting to get full screen videos (800 x 480)
The OP said DVD to Nexus One and doubleTwist doesn't do DVD to N1 (Unless its been updated?)
You simple put in your DVD press Load DVD in the program and select the video/s you want and press convert Pretty fast on my Quad-core/4GB so speed will depend on your PC spec.

I use handbrake to convert my videos. opensource and fast

I agree. Handbrake is the bomb! It's fast and cross-platform. I just select the iPod/Iphone profile when converting and the videos come out really well on my Nexus.

I didn't know Handbrake had a windows version! I always use it on my MacBook for my iPhone and Nexus One
Cheers I've now installed on my Windows PC!
