DVD | Convert to watch on MotoQ9h

[avmoto]

@ MBK2 and avmoto;

Thank you both of you for your responses. Read with thanks!

DVDFAB Platinum after just one run through has become my decrypter of choice. I will hang onto the other decrypters also for those DVDs that might not work through FabPlatinum.

Had a question on the format for MotoQ9H though:

• I used DVD FabPlatinum to convert directly to PSP format (mpeg4). I created the PSP named file M4V00002.mp4.
• I moved this file from my HD to the SD card.
• I played this file and WMP in my Q9H opened up and played the file. Great quality video and sound. But every 2mins or so, it becomes a bit stop&go for about 5 secs and then its normal for another 2mins or so.

Is this due to the format? Anything I can do to overcome this 'stop@go'?

the mpeg4 formatting takes up a little more ram to use, which is why the videos run slow every now and then. Use the 3GP format, and switch the settings so they are just like the mpeg4 settings. I know it sounds weird but it works

Great thread, I have movies running well now. When I try to watch and listen to the sound over the Jabra BT8010 the audio synch is off though. Anyone else experienced this and found a fix?

Sorry to say that it is no longer free. Although it says it is free on their website, it is actually $20 now. There should be something illegal in calling something free when in fact it is not.

It took me awhile to come up with a system I like unfortunatley it takes to pieces of software not freeware.

AnyDVD & cloneDVD Mobile. Oh yeah Core Player too but that's not nedessary.
Core let's you benchmark the video, I think TCPMP does too(?).
Rip a DVD, benchmark and you'll know the absolute maximum bitrate the phone can handle the convert all DVDs in that format.

I used XVID Generic with 480x272, no interlacing and no more han 550kb/s, normally 500kb/s, maximum although the phone can handle up to 750kb/s.

My computer using this software can convert a DVD at a little more than 2x.
The others taakes a lot longer and my experience with DVD fab was pretty bad. I stopped it after 3 hours into a 2 hour DVD.

I'm trying to play the video on this Lifehacker post (http://lifehacker.com/5133359/deep-inside-windows-7-with-tech-guru-mark-russinovich), direct link is (http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/9/1/1/5/3/4/RussinovichInsideWindows7_ch9.mp4).

I have installed TCPMP from the recompiled version (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2396421).

TCPMP shows the file properties as:

Video: AVC aka H.264
Codec: FFmpeg AVC
Video Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 29.970

Audio: MPEG4 AAC Audio
Codec: LibFFAD LL,HE,PS,AAC
Format: 48000 Hz Stereo

Played Frames: 1190
Dropped: 1166
Played FPS: 0.604

That last section is my problem. What do I need to do to get the frames per second up?

If I need different software, could you supply direct links?

Thanks!

As mentioned already its not a limitation of the software it's a limitation of the phone. And maybe mp4s.

I downloaded the video to my phone and was only able to bench it at 132% which is pretty bad considering it's only 450kb/s on the video.

Watch it the desktop or convert it to Xvid 'cause that is not going to play smoothly on a Q IMO ):

I use windows movie maker and just re-create the movie no larger then 212kbps otherwise the movie will lag and not be good quality. Even with 212kbps the movies are not crystal clear still have look like youtube videos. Watch, in 2 years phones will have such large processors that we will be able to watch regular mpeg files without conversions.

Somebody please tell me it's not THAT easy to convert a DVD to be used. I'd bang my head against the wall.

Here's how I did it for my Treo 650 (http://benmoore.blogspot.com/2006/01/video-on-go.html). I played with PocketDivXEncoder last night and encoded a TV show at 320 x 240 and 220Kbps. A 30 minute show without commercials took 60MB and played fine with the recompiled version of TCPMP (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2396421) on my AT&T Q9h.
