You have to rip to divx or wmp files. For wmp MS offers a free tool on their website. You just need a good decrypter to "Decrypt" the DVD.

I got matrix reloaded as well as a few southpark episodes on my phone 🙂 Very cool.

I use this to watch my stuff.

Ok ive got my Finding Nemo off the DVD using DVD Decrypter, i threw it into DVD2AVI to seperate the audio track..... (which its still working on)

Then i guess i throw it into TMPGEnc, use the template for my smartphone, then take the .mpg and use a convertor to change the .mpg to a .wmv 🙂

Its really not that bad at all. Using WMP 10, i can go widescreen when it landscapes the image and it actually looks pretty damn good.

I have yet to do it for my Treo but I really should...

Are we talking PocketPC or Palm OS ? If it's the latter, this article should still apply. Best of all:

Compression Quality: Brilliant! A 4.7GB DVD will be reduced down to between 80MB and 120MB depending on the length of the movie and all in avi format

You can try this. It's free and I use it on my PocketPC (on the rare occasions that I ever use my PocketPC). They also provide a guide on how to convert DVDs, VCDs, etc to mpeg. I use TMPGEnc. The files usually end up larger than 80-120mb for me though (at least the way I have the settings).

EDIT: Obviously, this is not mpeg4/divx though.

im having problems using it though.. need help.. im trying to convert the video so as to make it smaller in size but it tells me " Please make sure that you have enough space on target disk drive and the file is not locked"... my cell phone is not connected ( although it has 120 mb of free space ) ..... i have 50 gig of free space on my laptop so im pretty sure theres enough space on my laptop..

Any help is appreciated... thanks

EDIT: ok turns out i got it to work using XVID codec as opposed to MPEG4 Version 3 codec which i was previously trying to use ... however if anyone can still figure out how to convert using mpeg4 version 3 codec please do advise as it'd make things simpler...

Now the other problem is that i installed smartmovie on smartphone but i cant find it on my smartphone which i guess means that it didnt install properly.. i have a MS imate smartphone 1 ( smartphone 2003 os ) ...any idea why it didnt install??

thanks
