Hey,
I have a few DVDs I'd like to take with me on my phone, and was wondering if there is a standard program everyone uses to convert the video onto the phone (and make the files a bit smaller).
I've searched Google and there are hundreds that claim to do it - but is there a couple of programs everyone uses?
Ta in advance

I use Handbrake. It's free.

Hey everyone-
I've been doing a bunch of searching lately for an easy-to-use and convenient application for streaming videos from my pc to android device (like airplay for the iphone). And I can't seem to find one specific app that makes it simple and easy, they all seem to be a pain in the ass. I know this question has been asked before, but not for a couple months, so what in your opinion is the best application and/or method for streaming content from a pc to an android device? Thanks in advance for any help.

I use gmote, but thats only over wifi...
It doesn't really matter to me whether or not it uses wifi, as I'm to cheap to pay for a data plan (as in I bought my phone sans contract lol). But I've used gmote for this before and it only seems to support certain formats, many of which I don't use. I guess what I'm really looking for is an android equivalent of airvideo.
Have you tried ORB? It may not be the easiest to set up, but you can stream anything you want from your PC over wifi and mobile data.
Hello all,
Just came back from a wedding, and shot 2 videos in HD. One file is 2.16GB, the other 2.65GB.
Both files can be played on the S2, and can be copied to windows. However, windows won't play them (Mediaplayer, VLC), probably due to the 2 gig limit, and all splitters that I've tried won't open the files either...
Does someone know a solution on how to cut the files in smaller parts? (editing on the phone using the "Video Editor" won't work, does not handle hi-def files)
Never mind!
While writing the post, I started thinking... "c'mon... My S2 is awesome, but doing something on a phone that 8 programs on a regular pc can't? ...maybe it's the copying that goes wrong with >2GB files?"
So reconnected the S2, only now in USB-mode... Tadaah, the >2GB vids can play / split / etcetera again!
(so, thanx to myself, and topic can be closed )
Sorry if this has been brought up. I've gotten pretty good at converting my dvds using handrake to be able to play on most android devices. I'm interested in converting my blu-rays to hd mp4 or some other format using handbrake.
For example:
http://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/blu-ray-rip/259-rip-blu-ray-to-mp4-using-handbrake
Now I know that wouldn't be able to fit on my phone or tablet. There is a good guide some where in the vibrant forum that I use for dvds but I can't find the link and I don't know if that guide has the proper settings for converting blue rays.
Now I plan on watching these on my vibrant just for fun and I plan on buying an asus memo when it comes out. So I think converting them to 1280X720 should be fine. So if anyone has any suggestions on the proper setting I would appreciate it.
Edit:
I found this

for converting blu-rays down to 4g at 1080p but it has more stuff in the advanced setting checked than in this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729094 and I'm not sure what presets if any the person on youtube is using. Any feedback would be helpful
hi folks,
recently i have tried to copy paste the CCNA courses (Exploration) from my laptop to the tablet. it is not too smart but i was thinking perhaps may work as the browser i use, Dolphin HD, support flash and java. finally copied the entire folder and launched the index.html. it worked the intro page including the flash but nothing else. no course can be launched.
was anyone able to figure it out how the official CCNA courses (installed on Windows) can be run on android?
highly appreciate it.
I'd be interested in seeing this work.. the the ATP will become my primary device then

i have the same problème... it works on debian but not on my acer a700. Help me
:crying: Tanks a lot.
I'm assuming that these courses aren't interactive; they're just a series of videos, right? Just transcode them into a format that Mobo Player or countless other video players will play.
There must be video files in one of the directories. I would suggest directly opening the video files than opening the index page or main app via browser. For video player, use MX Player.
It would be nice if this could work.
I will ask some application developers in my class some information
If i got some information i will come back on this matter.
It does work on Backtrack and CentOS, theoretically it also should work on android
Sorry for my bad English.
(Off-topic: I am doing CCNA 4 now and it's quite hard)
So as the title says, and yes I searched, guess what comes up, posts from 2009 or useless info. Anyway, I have used google too and I can't find what I effectively need. Taking a long flight, I'm looking for freeware to put DVD files on my devices, of which I own several to choose from. The files are currently .vob, I can transfer files, but nothing stock reads them, The rooted and/or jailbroken devices can see them and play, but I have to manually select each file when said file is over. Anything available in freeware that you know of ot use to help out??? Flight is Friday morning.....
Try mx.video player. It supports a ton of video formats, and hopefully it supports vob. Make sure you set it to sw fast decoding for video though

Looks good, I'll try it out, but I'm really needing a converter.
Any ideas?

Update...i found handbrake, looks like this is what I needed. Feel free to close thread.
