I tried the trial... A little difficult to gauge the video quality with the trial watermark imposed on image.

I tried only the .avi 640x480 output. I am not as concerned with extremely small size but look for quality and cross device compatibility. My avi rips are viewed on various PPCs and my wife's Zen Vision:M (ZVM). I choose 640x480 for the video output of the ZVM.

This app encoded fast but was very limited in options. I'll be sticking with my current encoder, PocketDivXEncoder. Although, I may recommend the SPB app to casual users looking for speed and simplicity.

I was actually a beta tester for SPB Mobile DVD, and even from the first Beta version, it did exactly what I always wanted. Up until then, I was using a combo of DVD Decrypter and AGK, which took anywhere from 2-4 hours for a 1 hour show! Mobile DVD is fast, with a very simple, intuitive design. It is crammed full of features, even with the simple interface. I would recommend it to anybody!

I own a Dell Axim X51v, and the quality is AMAZING! Even with such a small file size, I cant notice the difference between a movie encoded with Mobile DVD and one of my huge 1 gigger movies encoded with AGK.
