Thanks for the help. Just can not seem to get it to work. Just locks up. I will keep looking...

X10iUser

Which program?

Brice L

The DVDcrypter program you are suppose to use on the DVD before you use the SUPER software.

X10iUser

Like I said I've not used that so can't help, and was going to say as I don't rip DVDs wouldn't know what to suggest either but did a quick search and found - Free DVD Ripper which might do for you.

LickTheEnvelope

+1 on handbrake.

Brice L

Handibrake does not work for me either. It will not recognize any DVD and locks up soon there after.

Anyone know of an encoder that can monitor a folder and then AUTO convert. I used ipodifier but the developer seems to have stopped real support and it doesnt allow much in the way of adj to the settings?

Aero1

That maks no sense. You are more liekly to have problems ith suepr than handbrake

handbrake is by far the easiest to use with the best results. It has a massive user base as well.

my personal preference is ripbot264

smaugjc

New to the board but been around awhile. Ive gotta say i have tried numerous converters and none of them work or are to complex for an average person. Snowfox, Catalyst, SUPER and so on. Is there ANY converter that is simple, allows you to take a .wmv from a digital copy and select a preset format to convert to work on a Moto Droid or a DROID X?call me simple or call me lazy but SUPER seems to be the best but it's like reading stereo instructions in chinese when youre from holland.

I use XVID4PSP version 5.0 r90

Best program I've found (and yes it is free) for doing x264 encoding.

Use the iPhone / iPod Touch profile but change the CRF from 21 to 20 and change the audio from 128kbps to 160kbps and play back quality is great and very smooth etc.

This is working on a Huawien Ascend M860 which isn't exactly very powerful.

I admit Handbrake is a good free one that can convert just about anything to MP4 and MKV. But just for MP4 and MKV and I think it's difficult to use. I'm using Enolsoft video converter right now. It's able to convert all videos between various formats easy to use. It can set up video/audio quality or other (resolution, bitrate, codec....) .Very becomes me.

Usta

Handbrake is not difficult to use at all. It can be used both by beginners and pros - this versatility with no cost is what makes it superior to any paid converters, including the Enolsoft video converter.

There are however other free converters that are also powerful in their own way. For example, I'll mention Xmedia Recode.

HashAttack

another Handbrake lover ... and bonus b/c itz free!

works great for all my needs

Can someone out there give me step by step directions on how to do this?

sitlet

As you are new here, I will give you some advice. Please do a search. This has been answered MANY MANY times on here already. Look in the Droid X subforum, or here in the Media forum. I know I have personally answered this question dozens of times. And FYI, the steps are the same for ANY device. The only thing that's different is the resolution of your phone's screen.

rytheguy

Trying to work out the best settings for my new Galaxy Tab 10.1 (using handbrake) Anyone have suggestions?

Usta

Resolution - keep this max up to 800p, like 1280:800. You can also use 720p HD resolution, not a big difference.

For the rest you can use the settings I've put in Handbrake guide (link in my signature, see my first post in this topic).

There is more fine tuning available if you want, but these settings should be good enough for most users.

salmonman78

Still a newb but after trying many things, that Handbrake worked excellently. Using the Iphone/Ipod touch defaults and so far converted well.

Usta

For optimal quality, make sure the output video resolution is the same as your phone's screen resolution.

watchforfinger

mobo player you dont have to do anything it will convert it for you all you do is click what you want to watch

Usta

MoboPlayer is not a converter. It is a universal video player that is able to decode many video formats.
However, there are videos that are too complex to decode for MoboPlayer. In this case, a video converter is needed to make the video playable for the phone.

Clevo89

I use this too and it's great...

SUPER is awesome but the GUI can be a bit of a steep learning curve. I will stick to AVC.

dominici

I like using Free Video to Android Converter by DVDVideosoft. The GUI is very easy to use, and provides a number of containers to choose from for many Android devices.

angelacat

Handbrake is also the desired program of me to use, and I also have a pc desktop-based online video recorder wich has built-in video converter so that I can converter video from DVD or online websites to my android phone.

robmil29

gohandee.com uses ffmpeg to convert videos. They allow you to upload videos, convert them, then watch them from your phone.

LarryBoy57

handbrake wouldn't convert a store bought DVD I tried telling me it was copyrighted or something to that effect.

You should always rip a DVD first to your HDD and then use whatever video converting software you wish to use (such as Handbrake etc.)

I always use "DVDFab HD Decrypter" which is FREE and can be downloaded from the following link:

DVDFab HD Decrypter. Free to Decrypt DVD and Blu-ray, free to Copy DVD and Blu-ray.

Actually this program can do a lot IF you pay for it BUT the DVD Ripping section is FREE and using it will do a straight rip (with no compression nor transcoding).

i have samsung galaxy y phone.screen resolution is 320 ,240 .
so what is the best video converter for this?i want converter which change the video size to fit my screen without changing the height to length ratio

Janet55

For Free: Handbrake, do straight converting well
For some more tweaking, I use aneesoft.

dontpanicbobby

FairUse Wizard 2 will fix you right up Brice L. The free version creates 700 MB files that play well on My Galaxy S II. Which phone are you using?

nrishiraj

I'm currently using total video converter.

I have tried using all types of resolutions and no matter what I try, I can't get it to fit fully on my android. The screen size either stretches vertically or horizontally.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I want to fit a video so that it displays full screen on my phone?

Thanks

FulciLives

The aspect ratio of your phone is probably not exactly 16x9 and so no film's aspect ratio will fit 100% BUT you should either see black on the top or bottom or black on the sides. It shouldn't stretch it or otherwise screw up the aspect ratio.

aarendavid

i use iWisoft Free Video Converter.

It is easy to convert...........

juliet2011

I am not sure whether this converter is the best or not, but you may get this tool to be fully employed. After downloading, just convert online streaming video to any audio or video formats for media devices.

You can go and download Clone2Go Free Video Converter to help you. It can be used to convert video files to avi, mpg, flv, etc.


Besides, it features an easy-to-use YouTube downloader, which lets you download videos from YouTube as mp4, flv or 3gp files in a snap.

trevorlay

can you PLEASE tell me what setting to use? I can't get any program to work, tried a 4-5 of them!

crazysanchez

Old PC: FormatFactory
New PC: Freemake Video Converter

Both are freeware

PC Bigboy

I'm sorry but for converting to Android or Google TV, I've got to give the nod to Freemake Video Converter. It has SEVERAL Android profiles from Google TV all the way down to basic Android phone screen resolutions

It also does away with having to deal with A GAZILLION profiles for A GAZILLION device manufacturers, makes & models out there as well. Basically put, IT SIMPLIFIES THINGS !!!!!

Best of all - IT IS FREE !!!!!

I use this program to encode videos for my DLNA servers & haven't run across a video it couldn't handle yet
