Treo 600 DVD Movies: As Simple as 1, 2, 3...

I tried to watch a movie on my Zire 72 using the 1,2,3 steps mentioned, but the process was extremely slow, i.e. it would take more than 40 hours (yes real time 40 hours) to transfer one movie to avi format, I have a pentium3 with 256Ram and 2GH on my hard drive.

Any suggestions, comments ??

Regards

Forget about my last comment, as I found out that there was a "bug" in my PC which had nothing to do with the Pocket DVD Studio, I recently purchased it and it is superb.

Is anyone aware of a Mac-compatible program that does the same thing as Pocket DVD Studio?

Can I assume that this will work for the Treo 650?

Absolutely, this entire setup will work just as well with the Treo 650. The only thing that will change is that you can use a higher resolution output when converting your DVD since the Treo 650 benefits from a 320x320 screen instead of the 160x160 found on the Treo 600.

Cheers, A.

I did all of the steps above but cannot get MMplayer to find and play the file. I can go to pics and video on my Treo and play the movie there, but not in MMplayer. If I had known this I wouldn't have spent the $15 on MMplayer. I would like to use it since I paid, what am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to do this with Kinoma? I've got Kinoma Producer on my PowerMac and Kinoma Player on my Treo 650. I can rip DVDs to my hard drive, and have done so for backup purposes. Any help would be great.

I am having trouble finding the movie on the MMplayer after sync.

The recording process always freezes before completing. Sometimes very early, sometimes close to the end. I've tried different settings and codecs, and it still happens. I have tried ten times, with multiple DVDs, and only one Disc has sucessfully completed recording. I have a brand new 3.4 P-4, 1gig RAM with DVD ROM, and DVD+-R/RW/DL. I have tried recording with both drives. I've tried all the suggestions on their support page.

So far Pocket DVD has been a waste of my time and money.

I am interested in a blue tooth head set for the 650. Looking at the Sony Ericsson HBH-300 any thoughts.

Anyone up for a free solution for an avi viewer for this senario?

Try out the core pocket media player
(aka TCPMP). Google it or check out this url
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org
makes the process of 1, 2, 3 easier and less expensive....cause it's FREE :)

I have problems transfering the proccesed movie into my sd card. I use the quick install software to put it into my sd card and then synchronize. Synchronization crashes before being able to transfer all of it. I have tried the same thing with smaller videos and it works, but bigger than about 10 mb it doesn't. Can somebody please tell me how to solve this problem?

CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE AND MOVIES IF I DONT HAVE A COMPUTER OR LAPTOP TO MY 650??

what program is better for the treo 600?mmplayer or dvd pocket studio?

I've successfully used iSquint to convert AVIs to mpeg4 and HandBrake to rip DVDs to an mpeg4 files, and have no problem using TCPMP to view them on my Treo 650 off of my 1GB SD card.

Smooth A/V, stereo, 30 FPS - nice.

Good luck!

All seemed to work but after I put it on my phone I can't locate the download anywhere....any thoughts on where to look?

how do i transfer movies to my treo 650 i downloaded at dvd player onto my treo now what do i do im not to smart on this stuff

Will this work on a treo 700 from verizon? if so how can i go about installing this dvd player onto my treo.

what you said seems right, but i also found a more useful tool Pocket DVD Studio! it can Watch DVD movies on mobile devices (Pocket PC, Smartphone, Portable Media Center, Palm).

I have successfully compressed movies with free software called "Fair Use" I then have been able to watch the movie(around 200mb or less) on my Treo 650. Only problem, that I cannot figure out... when I watch the moive on my phone it is backwards. So any credits or subtitles(not that you wanna watch a subtitled movie on your Treo) are all backwards.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks,
Jacob

Hello,

I wonder if you have any movies you could sell us at a very very very deep discounted rate or possibly donate some to us please.

We are a 60 person Army unit located at a Forward Operations Base (FOB) near a small town called Khost, Afghanistan located on the Afghan Pakistan border. We are building schools, putting in water wells, building small stream diversion dams for irrigating fields, working on small medical clinic facilities, building access roads, public toilets, etc. in very remote towns and villages where there are ample people living in mud and straw housing with no power, etc. Having been raised in orphanages allows me to better understand the needs here. Although conditions are not the best out here, I’m happy about being able to help these people.

Movies are about all we have time for and most of these guys spend their free time, day or night, watching movie and most over and over again. It's rare that we get a new or different movie because we are at the end of the line out here. Most everything designated for remote sites is picked through at most every stop location or mostly just don't arrive due to trucks being attacked, burned, hijacked, bombed, stolen, etc.

So I got the bright idea of soliciting some different movies from outside Military sources. USPS mail is brought in by helicopter so that works pretty well. We would most definitely appreciate any thing you could send us or sell us at really cheap rates.

I thank you for your time.
