How To: How To Rip and Play DVD quality movies on your PPC

[Juslisten]

Rufus (or anyone else that rips dvd's this way) quick question what size sd card do you use and how many movies are you usually able to place on there using this process?

Justlisten - it depends on the size of the movie. Ive got Saving Private Ryan, Dogs of War and Black Hawk Down on my 1gb as well as about 40 songs but im maxed out.

On average Id say 2-3 movies per 1gb

Yeah, if you stick with the 400MB suggestion for size, you are only going to get 2 movies on a 1 GB and 4 movies on a 2GB. I carry a 1GB and a 2Gb with me... Usually have movies on the 2GB and everything else on the 1GB.

You can always go smaller than my recommended 400MB, but I think you will start to see quality loss; though I have not had any personal experience with anything less than 400MB or more than 600MB. The difference between 400MB and 600MB was minimal, and going to 250 or 300 might be ok too, I just haven't had a chance to try it, nor have I really cared to look into it that far.

Has anyone else had any experience with less than 400MB?

I did Blackhawk Down on less then 400 MB (i cant remember exactly) and the quality isnt TOOOO bad, but its hard to see some of the dark scenes.

For brigther movies I think less then 400 isnt gunna hurt much.

How do you carry your cards with you? Just in your pocket?

Hehe. I actually carry the 1GB card in the picture sleeve in my wallet. I don't think that is the best thing to be doing, but I have been doing it for about 6 months now and all is well.

Not that I recommend it, but it definitely works for me.

Can you expand a little on this for me please? What do you mean by "sticking and loading"? Are you using TCPMP?

Let's start with that and I will see what I can do about solving your issue.

Thanks.
