Well, I'm still new to all this. I used optikalsaint guide last weekend and using the PocketDivxEncoder method I was able to easily encode and transfer a movie I've been meaning to watch. Works like a charm. Not sure if that's OGG or not, I suspect not, but it's nice.

Of course. OGG is the best audio format espacially for low bitrate. Congratulation. You are become the user with THE HEAD!

as mnay good things as i have read/heard about OGG im still very fond of mp3. maybe it has to do with me not liking change that much. i have decided though since i was able to get mike to watch movies on his smartphone i might as well experiment with OGG and add a section of that to my guide for others users that might want to try the codec.

P.S. - if there are any other ways that users might be interested in me writing a guide for let me know. if you want a nice DVD to smartphone guide i'll write it. different programs you would like to see me use besides virtualdub i'll do it. i want to make this guide as big as possible!

Hey everybody!

STOP! Why do you like a mediocrity? Why?
PocketDivXEncoder has good looking GUI but result of video converting is still like bike driving. If you like Rolls Royce driving feelig you must to learn a conversion of High Society. I`ll prepare guide with more screen shots. This will be very easy. I promise you. Realy. I`ll refer about this on time. Be patient.

the pocketdivixencoder guide was written for individuals that wanted to dabble in video conversion but weren't ready to get down and dirty with it. its basically a n00bs guide which is why the virtualdub guide was written after so they would have a choice or either ease or control.

next thing im working on is a guide to rip from dvd to smartphone. there are a couple of no hassle tools there that i will write guides for as well as a couple more control guides for those individuals that don't mind a lil dirt on the hands

Hello\,
I just installed pocket divx and betaplayer.
I am trying to encode a surf video and am getting the following error:
"Not enough free space on destination disk. Available free space-0
Free space needed: 1305 Mo

[Rocco Augusto]

the error message sounds like you do not have enough free space to encode the video. try using the virtualdub method that i posted earlier, that might help

EDIT: i've searched all day yesterday trying to find any reference to taht error message that you posted and I could find none. which program were you using when you got the error message? what operating system are you using? what are your system specs?

any info you can provide me with might help me in finding a solution for you

[Rocco Augusto]

so im updating the guide. im thinking of adding images for the step by step instructions to make it easier for the encodingly challenged to get movies on their smartphones.

i have recieved a ton of feedback since posting this guide and i would love to hear more ideas and thoughts that anyone would have for version 2 of this guide. if you want to share those ideas with me please feel free to forward them to my PM box here at SPT or just post it here in this thread

I would love to see that DVD to SP guide :wink:


About OGG: you can encode your movies in 40kbps and they will sound simmilar to mp3 at 96k but this is a huge size difference.
