there are few copy protectio for CD (audio/rom etc) look for Midbar, scurerom etc. for DVD is CSS. all those are professional copy protection.

nero has tools to do this before your burn the cd/dvd.......

DVD to Pocket PC HELP Needed!

Ok. I've been trying to get this program (DVD to Pocket PC) working properly, with no success.
I downloaded the demo version, and it 'started' to make a 5 minute copy of a DVD. It ripped the DVD, then crashed when attempting to turn the MPG file into a WMV file. I was able to manually convert the file to WMV format, and it ran on the XDA.
The problem is, the program doesn't work anymore. I can't get it to rip ANY more DVD's, not even the same DVD I used initially.
I love the idea of the program, and was really looking forward to buying it if it worked properly. I have a shiny new 512MB SD card just begging to be used.
Does ANYONE out there have the actual, whole version of the program that they can tell me about? I have been burned before buying badly written Pocket PC programs, and don't want that to happen again. If someone can loan me the full version so I can evaluate it, I'd REALLY appreciate it!
I just want to make sure the program works properly. The demo seems to be really flaky.
Thanks.

The demo crashes for me too at the same stage you described, so I uninstalled the damn thing and moved on.
I'm using Win2K, and this may be my problem - the website says XP only. Whatever. Can't be bothered.
I guess this program must work - otherwise, why do they sell it? Crashing halfway through is an obvious bug, no?
I have the full version, running on xp pro, it works flawlessly, I leave a dvd in the drive overnight and in the morning I have a film for transferring to sd or cf card, never crashed on me either.
That's interesting.
I am also using XP Pro, and like I said in the previous post, the program (demo) 'started' ripping the DVD, then promptly crashed at the point when it was supposed to be converting it to WMV. I was highly disapointed to say the least.
I even tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling. The exact same thing occurred.
I'm using the full version on WindowsXP, and it's GREAT!! 8) 8) 8)
I uninstalled it again and reinstalled, and now it's working properly. VERY cool. I think it's worth the $25.00.
I also have the full version of this software, worth every penny
One thing worth mentioning is the Step 2 Only option from the Special menu
If the program doesn't complete the final step of converting to WMV, just select the Step 2 only option and it'll finish off
You can also trick it into converting any mpeg files into wmv by renaming them to DVD.mpg, placing them in root c:\ and running a Step 2 Only
Very useful for TV episodes, as it compresses Simpsons episodes to 30mb
I think I saw this software in PC Magazine. Are you saying that you can download an entire Movie DVD onto your PDA?
Yep,
It compresses a 90minute movie to approx. 128mb
so increase the size slightly for longer films
i've had two 90minute films no problem on a 256mb SD card, and haven't had any issues with slow load time or memory problems
Hope this helps
How do you download the DVD? Can you give me kind of a dumb guys version. I'm a bit new to this stuff.
Also, maybe I can ask you... I can't seem to open images with TIF extensions?

the easist way to open tif is to use

otherwise maybe this program does it

This is slightly off the thread, but...
I personally thought that $25 was a bit steep for software that just rips a DVD, and then uses freely available microsoft tools to convert it into a small file. Theres a whole load of free stuff available that will do all this.
Another problem I had with the software is that it is not configurable. The demo 5 minute video I produced had a frame rate of 20 fps. The playback was noticably jerky. I would be prepared to suffer a 25% increase in file size for 25fps.
I would recommend anyone thinking of buying this software to check out the following free tools, to see if you can't get a result as good or better:

How to get dvd films onto my kaiser?

Ok I am a newcomer so many of you may think this a simple question ..but .. how can I transfer my dvd films onto my kaiser? I have read a few threads about converting video formats and have downloaded a copy of Pocket Divx which I hope is a step in the right direction. What now? I admit to being confused by talk of bit rates etc so can someone provide a simple step by step method? What about copyright protection - is it possible to copy feature film dvds anyway, must be way I suppose. Optimistic thanks in advance.
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5790538
It converts to WMV so no need for DIVX.
Try reading some of these guides. www.videohelp.com is a great website full of guides.
If you want though there are programs out there that can directly do this for you and optimize it for mobile phone screens but i havent encountered any that are free. PocketDivxEncoder is useful if you already have avi movies that you want to re-encode into a more mobile friendly resolution and/or bitrate.
Hope this helps.
edit: Im assuming here that you want them in AVI's. You can play AVI's on a pocket pc with TCPMP. Google for it if you dont have it.
thank you for the link Slave1, had a look at the software, no mention of WM6 compatability - will it work, any idea?
thank you too for the link ga41. Will have a look see later when I'm not supposed to be working. (I'm self employed and my boss has work avoidance guilt issues.)
Try a converter named 'SUPER'...it converts video to any format and lets u control the frame rates,size etc....
For any other converter u already have :
1.] Start the converter software > open any video u want to convert (either drag and drop OR using File>Open>....)
2.] Adjust the settings for video conversion....for the kaiser, Size: 240 x 320 pixels,Frame rate : 30 fps,Format of video :H.264/MPEG 4/WMV (these r the basic settings,play around later for advanced settings)
3.] Press convert for the finished product and transfer it to ur Kaiser....Enjoy!!
[Copy right protection depends,if ur converter can load the video and convert it then i dun think there shoud b a problem....]

I doesn need to be WM 6 compatible....jus the encoded video should be supported by WM 6....H.263,H.264, MPEG4,WMV are supported formats for WM 6....if u want divx support try the player TCPMP....
i use (and can recomend) http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobiledvd/?en

Hi all!
I am new here...Hi! Wondering if you can help me out? I am new to to Windows Phone software (a recent Apple convert!) and am struggling a little with a couple of things:
1 - Getting the phone to appear on my computer as an external device so i can just drop some videos on to it, i have sync'd the phone to no avail!?
2 - Getting previous digital copies of films which were put onto my external HDD through iTunes, when i view them in my computer they show up with the Zune logo,then when you try to play them, it says cannot play, burn or sync this protected file code - C00D11E7. But Zune says it accepts .m4v files?!
Thanks in advance for you help!

1 - You cannot use it as an external device. You can sync photos, videos, songs through Zune. Just open Zune, let it access the folders where you keep the stuff u want it to sync into your phone. Then through the contents, drag folders or files you want into the phone logo at the bottom left hand corner and it will sync in. The reason they do this is to minimise risks of virus or things to get into your phone I guess.
2 - Dunno about iTunes files as not an Apple fan. but i have been syncing videos in to my HD7 with no problems. I guess maybe your vids are locked by iTunes only to be played by Apple apps?

[Q] Kindle app question

I know its silly but does the kindle app on the nook color only take .mobi formats
Also were do you put book files you already have dont see an import button on the app. DO i Just place them in the folder and they will show in the app.. Thanks in advance sorry for being a noob
yes mobi and the other format I'm blanking on... pcs?!?
You drop them in the Kindle folder on the SD card.
So far its my primary reading app for the ability to change the backdrop to sepia
and alter the font sizes. It is a bit of a pain having to convert everything into Mobi format, having to deal with calibers sometimes wacky formatting issues (Although I just got Pocket Mobi Converter to try for conversions).
The only issues I have with it is the android app has problems with showing covers, and they really need to set it up to have 'shelves' within the program and directory, its a mess just dropping 50 or so books into one folder and having to slide through them all within the kindle app itself sometimes.

Currently reading The Destroyer 104: Angry White Mailmen
If anyone figures out a way to get covers for side-loaded books to show in the Kindle app, please let me know!
I got it to work once, and it was a royal pain in the but. basically I coped my entire Kindle folder off the NC to my hard drive, went through each mobi file in Caliber and hand set each cover to a jpeg, re-saved the mobi file, then dropped all the files back on the NC, and it worked (well it was actually maybe 75%, some still refused to show covers). Each jpeg was named the same as the mobi file just with the jpg extension.

[HOW-TO] Move MilkVR Content & Experiences to SD Card & 360Videos

Posted this in the Oculus forums but I think it might help someone here as well.
If you want to move MilkVR content from internal storage to external SD (360 videos UI also makes it faster to pick content), it's pretty easy, you can do the same for the "experiences" (cant say for coldplay as that permacrashes on exynos) but you need to root to do those. Also this method allows to get all Jaunt content (there's quite a bit more), not just the beatle.
The same process also works for when MilkVR freezes during download and you get "waiting for other downloads to finish" infinitely.
1. get a decent file manager app, I grew fond of es3 manager
2. go into sdcard0 (device storage)
3. go into Android/data/com.samsung.vrvideo/files/
4. files prefixed temp_ are not fully downloaded files (delete those to fix the infinite queue bug)
5. if you open json files you can actually get the "real urls" for both download and streaming
6. copy over mp4/jpg to oculus/360videos/randomfolder then use the powervr tool to generate pvr thumbs if you want to have it superfancy
Obviously you can take this a step further and create a tasker task (again, root) to move them on command.
Felix and paul experiences are in the Oculus folder and can be copied into 360videos, then renamed to _RL for 3D, however you need to force audio into zarkana&strangers (videogo5 can do this without encoding). VRIntro has basic audio inside.
Jaunt content is in /data/data/ however they use a special method that puts top and bottom as images on right and I haven't gotten around to normalizing this in post. Maybe someone has any tips? This seems to be
Example for Hobbit "underwhelming experience of being on set VR" /data/data/com.jauntvr.preview.hobbit/app_jaunt/
