Can someone help please?
I have just copied the TV highlights of a particular cycle "tour" on to my hard drive and in turn on to DVD. How can I put this video footage onto my PDA to watch during lunchtime, etc?
There are 2 directories on the DVD - these are VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. I assume that this is all needed on the PDA to watch what I have of the tour.
Do I need special software? One person tells me that all I need to do is change the *.VOB to *.MP4. This doesn't appear to work.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
S.
Having re-read what I have just typed - the title doesn't make it clear what I am trying to do.
The DVD bit was just a way of transferring from my TV set-top hard-drive to my PC.
I then want to copy from my PC to my PDA.
All I am ultimately trying to do is be able to watch what is on my hard-drive on the PDA. It just so happens the video codecs (something I dont' know a lot about) and file formats *.VOB don't appear to let me watch what I want.
Thanks.

Spb Mobile DVD is a pretty popular app that'll convert DVDs to a format you can view on your PPC. It's not free, but it's worth the cost if you get good use out of it. It's also really easy to run.
I'm also moving this to a more appropriate forum.

Hi TaurusBullba.
Thanks for the tip.
Doing this kind of conversion how much disc space would 1Gb of VOB file take up - do you know?
Is it cheaper direct or could I get it anywhere else?
How does it deal with copyright protected discs?
Thanks again.

since pda's have a res of 240_320 and 480_640
and dont support surround sound
and can use formats which take up less space then
old mpeg2 which is used in vob's on the dvd's
so the movies will be much much smaller then the dvd is
My apologies if this is somewhere else here. I'm using a T-Mobile One S that is unlocked and rooted. I know that I can buy the Medialink from HTC and plug it into the TV. Is there another way that o can do this?
And since I'm asking, would I also be able to watch home videos shot drum from the phone this way too? Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Marc

If your TV supports DLNA you can just play it directly from the device. I've only tried to view some photos I've taken, but find it very slow when buffering og switching between pictures. They were approximately 2 MB big, but it took about 10-15 sec for each one to load...

Can you tell us dummies how to do that, is there a built in app, or do you use one from the Market?

DLNA support is built in. In the Gallery app, locate the image or video you want to play, tap the "More" button and choose "Select player".
To use this function, both your DLNA-enabled TV and phone must be connected to the same network and your TV must have support for the codecs used by the media you are trying to play.
The HTC One S also supports MHL (HDMI out through the USB socket), so if you're looking for a wired solution or your TV is not DLNA-enabled, just pick up a MHL-HDMI cable from your favorite electronics retailer.
This is what you're after:

Got one, works great. Can even play my games on the TV.
In the US, I use monoprice.com, they have the adapter also.
Yup should be fine, you just want a MHL adaptor. Basically works like an HDMI out on your PC so you can do everything you do on your phone on the screen of your TV. Not experienced any lag as yet and doesn't require any tricky set up.

Well, after the OTA update, the DLNA speed has improved a lot!
But are you guys able to stream videos, that you've recorded on your phone? Mine gives me an error (714)...
can anyone find a way to enable all share cast in galaxy note for wireless mirroring in tv like the galaxy s3?
Is it a matter of an apk and lib file from gs3 system?
im interested too, please help xda
not useful
i think this will not work with ordinary smart tv, it has to be use with provided Dongle , how ever there is few complaints either. so instead of asking about its APK, we should wait & see when its start working flawlessly.
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me? I am wanting to stream live content that i am watching on my Samsung S3 to my Sony PS3. I have tried a few apps (twonky beam, Belkin media play). From the PS3 i am able to browse the phone and view video/pics etc that are stored on my phone but can't find any options which "beams" what i am watching on my phone straight to the TV via DLNA.
I am certain i am not the only person that would like to do this and am sure many people are already doing this (free). If someone knows a certain app that could do this that would be great. I am limited to DLNA and Wifi on both my Samsung s3 and PS3 as i know there are paid for devices like chromecast that do this but i was looking for a free alternative.
Apologies in advance if have posted this in the wrong section or asking something which has already been answered. I have tried searching for DLNA/PS3 without any luck before posting.
Thank You all in advance for your assistance.
Hi All.
I've an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) kicking around.
I'm wanting to give this device a new purpose: Become the office music controller. (yes I know it's a BIG device)
I have a premium spotify account, and I'm looking to run this from the device to the bluetooth speakers in the office. I understand i could just use the app. This being said, I want to remove all other apps and functionality other than to trawl spotify and stream the music to the speakers.
I've thought of XBMC, but i'm unsure how this would work for this purpose. I don't have the physical storage.
Any help here in how to progress or any input would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe Spotify Connect with the screen always on ?
