I have ripped a few of my bluray discs and want to convert them to iso files so I can play them with the menu structures intact, rather than just convert the main title to mkv files. I can do this easily in windows but I can't track one down diwn for android, so I can play them on my nvidia shield. Does such an app exist?

Hello,
just got my xda (64mb), I can't view my Compile HTML (like an ebook) in xda; on the IE that comes with the xda. Also how can i view my *.dat (Vcd) in Windows Media PLayer in 8.5 (whm).
Any software to convert them, TRy some but still unable to do that
hi,
nobody seems to be able to advise me on this matter.. Any kind soul
Pocket Windows Media PLayer 8.5 dows not support *.dat files from VCD.
You may want to covert them to divx with a smaller screen size and then play them with pocket Divx player. Pocket Windows Media PLayer 8.5 onluy support mpg, wma, wmv, and MP3 (and wav).
IF you use pocket divx doe covert your sound to mp3 not ogg becaus this may not work.
check http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/index.php for info on pocket divx and http://www.virtualdub.org/ for coverting your video files to an other format. good luck.
And sorry cant help you on the CHM thing but will look in to it. 8)
Rename the .dat to .mpg and play with your favourite mpeg player
Windows XP contains a tool to edit and convert them.
First rename the .DAT file into .MPG
Then start "windows movie maker" , and load the .MPG file
(start/programs/accessories/entertainment/windows movie maker)
Drag the clip down to the movie bar, and edit the clip, or just goto
'file/save movie file' and save as : movie.wmv
when asked for 'movie settings' select 'other settings',
video for pocket pc (full screen 218 Kbps)
This will take some time to convert, but the video looks nice.
Don't forget to press the 'full screen' button on your winmediaplayer
(next to the volume bar) when playing the clip on yor XDA
Enjoy
Anymore advise on *.chm
thanks for the xda developer who tell me about windows movie maker... it works.. How about *.chm ?.....
.chm files
.chm files are compiled html file. to be able to read this on your pocketpc, you will need to decompile it using htmlhelp compiler. this piece of software comes from the installation of microsoft's service pack 5.0 for visual studio 6.0.
try and search google for html decompiler or better yet, check microsoft downloads.

I did a "digital download" of a DVD to my PC, and then copied the .wmv file over to the /Android/data folder. The tablet recognizes the file (when I pull up the videos screen), but when I try and play, I get a "Media Error: Sorry, cannot play this video" message.
I'm brand new to the Tablet, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what...
Thanks in advance!

Most digital downloads from DVDs are DRM proteced. These can only be played on "official" Microsoft codecs, usually found on Windows XP, Vista, Seven, and OSX. You're pobbly out of luck.

Hmmm.... We've downloaded similar movies to the Ipod Touch... clearly not a windows product.
Quite unfortunate if "digital downloads" cannot be played on the tablet.
I won't say they all have DRM but many do. Googling "drm wmv" should give you some ideas as to how to deteremine if this is the case.
Thanks so much for your help!

WMV File
I had a WMV video that would not play on my Windows 7 PC with Windows Media Player.
It would play using DIV-X and some other movie players. I happen to have Camtasia Studio and I opened the file in Camtasia and created a new WMV file (took about two hours to complete). Much to my surprise the New WMV file created with Camtasia would now run fine on the New Windows 7 machine with Windows Media Player.
Just for fun, I copied the new WMV file over to the G Tablet and it played fine.
My guess is this is hit or miss depending on how the original file was created (I think this file was created with an old version of Window's Movie Maker in around 2007). Something else that is strange to me is the old movie format would play on Windows Vista but not on Windows 7.
Additional on the OP's question. You can check for DRM protection by clicking on the file properties in Windows explorer. There's a "protected content" statement, in one of the tabs. For WMA/WMV files, it should be able to tell you if it's protected or not.
If you had gotten it from Amazon, or from a DVD digital download, it is most likely infected with DRM.
Download rockplayer. Works for my phone. Should work for tablet as well
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I tried rock player but told me could not use hardware playback. When i tried software decoding I got large pixelated video not distinguishable. Please advise.
Sounds like DRM to me. I haven't used a WMV on my tab yet but I assume it will with RockPlayer.

where is s flood place to download free movies for the gtab?
DRM protected videos can't playback on most devices, you must remove the DRM protection, but it seems there is no free tool to handle it

Download DVDFab HD Decrypter and use it to rip the video from the original DVD, then use Freemake Video Converter to encode it to the format of your choice. I use 960x540 res, original frame rate, bit rate of 1280 for the video and sample rate 44000, bit rate 128kbps for the audio... works great on my EVO 3D. Will test this when I get the G-Tab in the next few days.
This may be an issue of the codec used. There are lots of codecs out there and the extension doesn't always indicate one particular codec. Depending on the program I am using to create a video I can select different codecs for the same fle type. Though divx is pretty much a mpeg4 codec, so is some of the Windows Media Video files. I have found even on the PC I have to dowload and install a codec "super pac" in order to play al the various files I come in contact with even though they may have the same extensions. Most of your players include a number of codecs to play the files they support. In windows nce the codec is installed for one player it most likely will be recognized by another. I really have no idea if this is the case with Android, or Linux, but from what I have seen it may be entirely dependant on the player.
As far as I have understood the Archos 70 (on FAT32) should not be able to play videos larger than 4GB, because that is the limitation of FAT32.
But my Archos does not play files larger than 2GB. I ripped and converted a few dvd's with DVDFab to mp4's and as soon as the resulting file is >2GB (by setting a higher bitrate) I get an error message saying that the file is incomplete or damaged.
Am I overlooking something (I am a newbie) or is something wrong with my Archos ?
Which player are you using? Have you tried moboplayer?
I am using the default video player. Haven't tried another player yet but will do that. First I will make a larger file again to try it out.
This to me sounds more like an .avi limit on fat32 file system - are they avi container ?, if so you need to remux them to something else, .mkv probably best

I set DVDfab to "DVD Ripper to MP4".
When I open the file with MediaInfo it says "MPEG-4 (Base Media)" as container, so not avi. Or is this the same as avi ?
Update: Although I still would like to hear your reply to my above question (for better understanding), I think it has indeed to do with the container. I ripped and converted again with DVDFab but this time to MKV (not remuxing but ripping and converting again), and now I can play a file larger than 2 GB (in fact the file was around 2,5GB).
I currently have a movie on my home PC, that appears to be in TS format? Does that make any sense?
When I use a video program that converts, say an AVI file into the MP4 format to watch on the Touchpad, it doesn't recognize the movie file.
What program can I use, that is free, that will support any type of video format and will allow me to convert it to my Touchpad?

VLC for Android or MX Video player may play the file as is...
Is it possible to play a DVD off my laptop on my tablet without ripping?
I’ve been trying to stream a DVD from my laptop to my Asus transformer tablet (running ICS 4.0.3), but so far couldn't find a way. I tried VLC for Windows + VLC Stream & Convert for Android combination, but there is no option to directly play a DVD, selecting individual VOB files wont work.
The only way I could manage to get the DVD video to play was to stream disk content though VLC's stream option, but this doesn’t allow any control over playback (Pause, FF, Rev etc..). I also tried setting up a DLNA server with Windows media player, but again there is no option to play a DVD , it can only share video files available on the local hard disk.
Now I'm beginning to think what I'm trying to do is not possible. Does anyone know how to do it ?
Looks like its not possible ??
For now I’m using splashtop HD remote desktop app, frame rate is not always good, but most movies are watchable, guess I'll have to use that till something better comes along.
is that a MPEG-PS VOB File ? then u can play the individual file by MX Player..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
btw u can extract the movies from a dvd using the img file.. sometimes there are 2 movies in 1 vob file
if you still can not play it then send me a sample of the vob
