is anyone successfully running either of these programs
i would dearly like to get one of them to work and will happily pay
for it
first DVD2PPC
i installed the software on my pc - around 3 times in fact
i put the DVD in the machine, select the DVD and - NOTHING
then comes the usual "program not responding"
I have been thru the FAQ's, found this seems to be quite a comon
problem
one theory is not enough memory - i got plenty
another is to open options and reset all - thats always greyed out
another is to open options and special then "run step 2"
that tells me it cant find a dvd or some such message
these are answers from the software people

i then gave up on that and tried pocket dvd studio
downloaded software and also the player and loaded in on to the PPC
demo seems to work , downloads a small movie, i put it on my cf card
and stick it in the machine
i open the player, click open/file/cf card, tap the avi file
and the POOF - player dissapears and shuts down
can someone please please help me with getting either of these 2 progs
to work
i dont care which one although i guess DVD2PPC may be better and i
dont need to install another player on the ppc
oh BTW when i try to install the player on the PPC to run Pocket DVD
studio the install.exe file never works, i always have to copy the cab
file over to the PPC and run it from there, could that be my problem
thanks in advance guys, i really want to get one of these 2 progs to
work

if you have problems with those applications, you can also try SmartRipper
to rip your DVD's and then make MPEG's using the MPEG Guide located at
http://forum.pocketmovies.net/viewtopic.php?p=3415#3415 .

it works very well, it is totally free, and you can play the video with
PocketTV Classic (free from www.pockettv.com ).

of course ripping your own DVD's may be illegal in some countries, check
your local laws.

thanks, i have actually just got it running
for some reason, neither pocket tv or pocketdivx or
MVP would play an .avi file on my PPC
when i converted the file to an .mpeg it worked ok on pockettv but not
the others
i have now downloaded betaplayer and it works fine
must be something on my ppc as this is the only player which works
well and plays the .avi files
thanks to everyone for advice and help
