I have Avy DVD software, do i need to ripp the movie first then put on evo or do I need to change the format? Should I put the movie on the SD card or the actual phone? Thanx

personally i'd rip it to avi and put it on sd card. then use the 'videos' app to watch it.

Download handbrake which works well with Any DVD, it rips and converts at the same time. The movie will go on the sd card not the actual phone. When its done the video will probably be a little over 1gb in size if you go for optimal quality. Follow this link: http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-...tc_evo_4g.html

Check out DVD Catalyst for the easiest way ever to rip DVDs for your mobile device; this link is specifically for the EVO 4G.

The paid version, currently on sale for 50% off at $9.95, gives added functionality but the free version does exactly what I need. It rips DVDs to the right size; no limitations, watermarks or expiration. It's really worth a look.

google rock player. you dont have to convert your files from avi and it plays awesome on my evo. i currently have 12 full length avi/divx movies on my phone and never had a issue of it being pixelated or not playing. hands down download it.

Rockplayer is awesome, the public beta ends on the july 15 if I am not mistaken.
