I'm need help on finding, transfering pictures and videos I made. I'm using blue tooth for transfering the videos and e-mailing my self the pictures. Is there a much better way? Blue tooth takes for ever......and can't find where the pictures are located to delete.
Thanks, Jim

Thanks for that, I thought i'd looked in all dir's. Anything on easy way to transfer those pesky videos in 3GP format?
use picasa and let er sync away.
I use QuickSSHd on my phone and WinSCP on the computer to transfer files wirelessly using ssh.

Any way we can upload the "movies" (photo stills) straight from the phone or convert the stills into movie on the phone itself?

I had trouble with knowing what to do at first to. All I came up with was importing them all into EASY GIF Creator and making a BIG gif lol
Figured there was an app that can take the stills and convert to a movie

Let me know too if you figure out an easier way. Seems too time consuming my way lol
All I can think of is connect to a comp and convert images through a program on the comp... don't know of an app that can do it.
I was wondering what everyone is using to convert movies to play on your captivate. I tried handbrake with no success. (probably just don't how to use it). Any help would be appreciated.

Why, pray tell, do you even need to convert videos? Just throw them on this puppy. That is one of the major selling points of this phone.
You are probably right. You are using Handbrake wrong. It works great. Just look over the web to find some walk throughs. Make sure you use VLC with Handbrake. You can also use DVD Fab decrytor Use it for the trial but You can always rip your dvd's for free.
I am trying to get movies off dvds. I also have some movies I ripped from dvdfab in my computer that are in the weird dvdfab format

I also had no luck with handbrake so I started using mediacoder. Only thing I really do is scale the movie down to the phone screen size to reduce the file size by a bit. So far it's been really easy to use and all the movies work great.
If I'm going to watch the movie on a bigger screen then I'll copy it over as-is.

I use ripbot264. Works perfect so far and its also easy to use.
I used Handbrake recently to load two movies on my Captivate (Big Lebowski & Trading Places) , I put in the DVD in my iMac and it took about 40 minutes per video to convert the file and then I moved it onto my SD card. I used store purchased DVD's and everything went perfect. Do a Google search for "How to rip DVD on Mac and convert video for Mac using Handbrake"
Does anyone one know how to convert from a movie file already saved, i cant get the sound working properly, picture is magnificent. when i convert the sound is garbled, when i put the source 720p video on it has no sound. anyone else having this problem?
I like divx converter, works well and is free
search youtube for winx dvd ripper platinum & serial
I use EncodeHD and choose the Nexus One profile for the few files which actually need conversion.
http://dcunningham.net/media-tools/encodehd/
For ripping I use DVD decrypter... For encoding DiVX encoder or Media Coder.
Though I have never had to "convert" any video for use on the Captivate. The video's that I have on my server run just as well on my Captivate as they do my 42in LCD.
Just drag and drop and watch.

This. You can slap a 2GB file on your phone and it will play, but that's taking up valuable memory. It would still look just as good if you shrunk it down to a workable 800mb.
I tried using Handbrake and ran into audio issues where the audio was severely slowed down. I switched to DVD Fab and had success. I have used mkv format successfully.
I too use DVDFab - the quickest way is to just tell it covert for iPhone and bam it is done and works every time. There are ways to optimize it, I am still looking for the best settings.
I recently got the movie Walle and finally getting around to download the digital copy. and i did it in the .wmv format. so that went fine..and i found a app that plays the .wmv format. copied it to my sd card and went to go play the movie and it plays it just all scrambled, no audio, just the entire length of the movie is like that. You cant even make out whats on the screen. the same thing happened converted my family guy dvds..plays fine on the comp..but transfer to my Droid X and nothing..please HELP ME
try converting them into .avi files, those will play
converters all over the net for free, try voldimori or something like that, search google or even youtube for how to do it

thank you, i will give it a shot
A little tip for you if I may.
Your best bet for quality and file size is to convert your vids to .mp4 format and keep the bitrate around 1500kbps.
AVI files tend to be a little bit taxing on even an overclocked android device. So as far as performance goes, you are better off trying the .mp4 format.
Hope this helps you out...

stupid question
Could the reason its not working, because of the DRM? if it is i dont get it then cause its a digital copy to be used on a portable device. grrr
Most "digital copy" versions are loaded with drm. Which would explain the scrambled feed...
I would say get a good decrypting app and learn how to rip/encode your dvds like I do. Lol

I have not been able to upload any videos on Facebook. It looks like the video uploads but it never gets posted. I am just wondering if anyone else has this same issue.
The same issues. My girlfriend has a FB account. She uses my phone to take videos all the time. When I try to upload them for her, it says the file is too big. I have to do it from the computer.

Anyone know how to add thumbnails for movies you put in the gallery? I used DVD Catalyst to convert some movies (awesome application by the way totally worth it if youre looking for how to put movies on virtually any device). Only problem is unless I use THEIR gallery and add a picture with same name as the movie, it wont display a thumbnail - using their gallery clogs my own gallery with pictures and movies that are black, and they leave a border around the movie that isnt black - annoying. *sigh*
Anyone else have luck?

Hi Spartacus,
Thank you for using DVD Catalyst,
I created the player-app because there wasn't anything else out there that would let you use your own cover images for your video files. Before the 3.1 update on HC, you could create a folder, put a video file in it and then an image file, and it would display it in the Gallery app, but Google broke that with the 3.1 update, so I made the app. I still haven't seen anything else that works in a similar way.
I have been working on an update for it all week, and after I read your post, I did make some changes regarding the images, so the next update will have them not show up in Gallery.

Thanks, looking forward to the update. I know myself and a lot of others still want a way to add thumbnails for movies in the gallery.

Same here, but with that being a gripe since the beginning of Android, I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. Because the idea behind it is so simple and obvious, I was expecting someone to come up with it, but since that never happened, I figured I'd give it a shot.
