Sir Digby Chicken Caesar Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I don't have an iPhone so i may be totally wrong, But i'll try and help anyway. 1) I would say yes (bearing in mind i don't know for certain) Is Demolition Derby already on iTunes?... If not you will need to re-encode it to an mp4 file. 2) Yes but you will need to re-encode to mp4, Or go to podtropolis.com and download films etc which have been converted to play on your iPod without the need to convert them yourself. 3) I wouldn't think so.

special agent oso Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Demolition Derby is just on a dvd , when i stick it in the drawer it comes up with a list of things to do , like play with media player , etc there is 1 option recode dvd using nero decode ( what ever that is ), maybe i'll just forget it , it all seems to technical for me , but thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Digby Chicken Caesar Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 No don't give up Braiden... If you can do it once, then you can do it as many times as you like. Encoding to mp4 is easy enough, you just have to find a program to do it. I am no expert, and my advice is very basic... So don't let what i say put you off!

special agent oso Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'll keep trying and hopefully someone will be able to help , seems a waste of an iphone if i cant do a basic thing like watch a video on it , transfering my cds is so easy , so hopefully if i get pointed in the right direction downloading dvd , movies etc should be a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to convert it to mp4 format. I use handbrake for this as its really simple and FREE. Download it here http://handbrake.fr/ 2. Yes as longs as theyre mp4 format 3. iTunes will handle the transfer File>Add to Menu This upload the movie file to itunes you can then drag and drop it onto your iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
this_is_my_story Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 There's plenty of freely available software which can rip a dvd to your hard drive, but I'm pretty sure most of them do so with the output file being an avi. You'd need to convert (I think) that to an mp4 for Iphone use - again, you can get free software to do that. As far as transferring the files to your phone, did you get a data cable with your phone that you can use to connect it to your pc? And, do you have a mac or a pc? this link may help you out: http://www.freewarezoom.com/archives/free-dvd-ripper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Not Long back from Fall out Boy In Glasgow Tonight and i am off to Benidorm at 7am in the morning,:cool:but if you are still having problems when i come back i will help you out. I transfer tons of stuff to my girls i Touch, which is the same but no phone. What you have to remember is when you get to the mpeg4 bit, you want it at 640x480 to fit the screen.It is not the perfect size but close enough. Sorry i don't have time at the mo.
