DVD to Android?

[lance-tek]

I am sure it can be done but I have yet to see a thread that explains how...

My wife has an Eris (Android 2.1) and I have a D2G (loving the upgraded hardware). So, how can I put movies on my phone and how do I watch them once they are there?

Thanks,

HandBrake

you watch them via the media player on your phone...once this program creates the media file drag and drop it on your sd card.

found it last night (HandBrake) and started the process... it works like a charm... I just had to find the right settings to get a good display

Thanks,

cool cool. yeah finding the settings that work can be a pain. usually i just take a short vid and make multiples with different setting to see what i like. you could also search google for say: best video settings for "your device" or something similar.

I use Makayama software. I'm lazy.

Not free, but it's literally two clicks.

You can't surf the net about technology with reading about tablets. Except for the larger screen - I can't see a need for one, yet. My biggest wish will be when you can stream ISO files to an android device (preferably a ten inch tablet) without having to jump through hoops to convert and download onto a card.

Is this on anyone else's wish list? Is this on any developer's radar? I've lots of stored movies just waiting to be viewed in this manner.

Orb can do this.

Not that I know of...

I'll ask around.

I just found and started using Freemake Video Converter. It works well, and is real easy to use. Many options for output, including burning to DVD, or converting to Android.
Free Video Converter - Convert Video Formats Free - MP4 MPEG AVI DVD HD FLV

It does download a toolbar, so be advised of that.
