What is the best way to convert a DVD, and copy the resulting file(s) over to the TAB ?
TIA
Felt I should help since you're a fan of Liverpool as well.
Here is a thread about this:

i once read an article about this, it supply all information we need to copy DVDs to tab, below is the link, you may have a look:
DVD movies for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 full-screen playback
ok, handbreak maybe good
i also try the brorsoft converter,the free trial version
both of them you can have a try
I know this is an old thread, but I have been using Freemake to rip DVD to any format you want. I was searching trying to figure out best format and found this thread. I did several movies with the "android" preset in Freemake, and they turned out very well. I am currently trying the MP4 preset. It takes a while to convert on my computer (like 4 to 5 hours) but the quality is good for both video and audio. The file sizes for a 3 hour DVD are around 2 to 3 GB.
I use MX Video Player to play the files on the tab. There are lots of options out there, and everyone has their opinions, but it works for me.
SUPER video converter: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
This is decent stuff, not copied software with overnight packed malware. I use this converter since ages and it's probably as old as virtual dub.
Open source (I think) and free!
What is a really good video converter in which I can convert my MP4 so it can play on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 without losing any video/audio quality and still keeping the size intact?
Use MeGUI.
Before you go through the hassle of converting why not try a different player?
DicePlayer

MX Video Player

thanks DicePlayer works perfect but I wouldn't pay for an app when I can convert for free.
All I need to know is how to convert it and i'll be set.
Does anybody know or have a guide to converting Galaxy Tab Videos?
Did you read my reply? What better tool than that you need? MeGUI has all the goodies built-in to convert any movie into an Android (and many others) format. Not to mention it is a professional tool, not like all the other crap "convert" wannabe's who charge you money for what should be free.
Hi all,
I know rooted devices are blocked from playing movie rentals from the Android Market. I had hoped to use my tablet to watch rented movies on long flights. But I was forced to rent a movie on my phone, with a much smaller screen.
Are there any working (and legal) solutions for movie rentals for offline viewing? I am not interested in ripping my own movies - I want to watch new (to me) movies.
I would even be willing to go to stock TnT (grudgingly, since I really love the C+C ROM) if movie rentals works with it...well, and if Skype works with it too...oh, and Netflix, but I digress.
Thanks!
Well this is actually a topic with 2 quetions in it.
1) Did you guys already notice when playing a movie on the Prime, and you connected the prime to a tv through a microHDMI cable the subtitles shown on the Prime, do not show up on the television. It looks like the prime only sends the pure video signal to the tv and not the extra's such as subtitles. Is there some kind of workaroud for this? I've tried both DicePlayer as MX Video Player without any succes.
2) This is the main question. What program do you guys use, and which settings, to convert movies you've downloaded or ripped? I know the Prime plays a lot of formats, but the main reason for asking is that most downloaded movies are rather big files (over 10Gb). So I want to make them smaller in size. So which program do you recommand for that, and which which settings?
Personally I've tried two programs:
- XMedia Recode. Ideal program because it has already a lot of pre-settings in it, also one for the Asus Transformer. But the outcome file is quite grainy.
- MediaCoder. A lot can be adjusted, but no presets. And from a quick comparison, I think the outcome file is not really nice to look at. Lot's of distortion, blocks, etc.
So please advice.
Google DVD Catalyst
So far it's hasn't met a DVD or video file it didn't like.
Transformer Prime presets at different quality settings.
I've been using it for a while, it's great.
Ok I will try that. But does it also hard encode the subtitles, so the subtitles are show on the Tv when the prime is connected through microHDMI to the tv?
10GBs? Where you getting your movies from !? I use 720p BluRay Rips that are around 2Gbs or less
This is for personal watching on the prime not using TV.
I use various torrent sites to get my HD TV Shows to watch at work
I also MX player to play movies that the stock player wont play
I download movies for watching on the tv, but sometimes, eg, when I'm in the nighshift, I want to convert them to 720p movies.
I also watch older movies which are not always in 720p, or not even in X264 format, but only in DVD format.
And because I'm living in the Netherlands, not everybody encodes the movies in 720p with dutch subtitles but only in 1080p. So that's why.
But then is there still the problem that the Prime does not show the subtitles on the tv. The only way to see the subtitles I think, is when they are hard coded in the movie.
Not sure about DVD Catalyst and hard coding them but Tools4movies is great about answering email. They should be able to tell you if it's possible or not. My laptop is down for the count right now or I'd look at the many settings this program has to see if its a possibility.
From Tools4movies website:
Tools4Movies was founded in late 2003. While initially developed as a basic video conversion utility, in the middle of 2004, the
first version of DVD Catalyst was released under the name of mMedia.
mMedia consisted of 2 separate applications called mDVD and mVideo. mVideo was the continuation of an in-home build video
conversion utility, and mDVD was essentially a modified version to enable DVD support.
After a few months of continuous development, mMedia was replaced with PocketDVD 1.0, which initially hold onto the 2 separate
applications, but with later versions, both were merged into a single application to make better use of the powerful batching capabilities
that the applications offered. The first name change, from mMedia to PocketDVD was decided on due for marketing reasons.
After a few successful version-upgrades, and PocketDVD 2.0 winning the Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine Best Software Awards, a
new name change was needed because we were receiving too many support requests for applications with a similar name. While initially
beneficial (we do answer all emails within a very reasonable response time, even if it was not for our own application) we found it better
to have a more distinctive look and name to avoid confusion. As we at DVD Catalyst are cat-persons (well, 1 cat and 2 yorkies at the
moment), we decided to use distinctive cat-eyes in the graphical design, and of course DVD CATalyst as a name.
DVD Catalyst was born out of our own personal needs. After looking around the web for an application to assist us with putting movies
on our portable devices, we found that there was nothing on the market that would easily enable us to start a conversion with more than
just one DVD track or video file. On top of that, all available software treated DVDs and video files as being different, basically forcing you
to purchase 2 products for essentially doing the same thing.
So rather than settling for a multi-app solution, we started development on something that would do what we want; Rip multiple DVDs,
convert numerous video files, and provide us with all the control over the conversion we could ever need.
Unlike most video-conversion-app developers out there, we actually use our own software on a daily basis. Whenever we run into
something we would like it to do, we build it into our software.
Coming from a history of support-jobs, we actually listen to our customers. Besides providing the best possible support, we are also
always open for suggestions. We do come up with ideas and new features ourselves, but customer suggestions and feature requests has
made DVD Catalyst what it is today.

Hi Bart,
DVD Catalyst will hard-code the subs into your video files.
If you have any questions, just send me an email or PM. If it makes it easier, I can reply in Dutch if needed.

See this is why these guys are the B-E-S-T!!!!
I've tried DVD Catalyst, and wow, it's amazingly fast!
I'm impressed bij the simplicity and the quality!
