i just bought a iaudiox5 it plays mpeg videos on a 1.5 inch screen

i was wondering how can i convert dvd's to mpeg then compress them to the small screen

thanks
 
First you need a dvd ripper. try Google.
Compression is a whole different topic. To do it right with a small file size and decent quality takes some good software and a lot of learning.

The ripper will automatically compress them to about 700Mb for a 2-3 hour movie, after that you DO need some software, no idea what though. (Prae is the master of Audio/Video stuff)

DVDs are MPEG2 so all you really have to do is a MPEG2-->MPEG1 transcode. I assume that your source video is in IFO/VOB so simply do a DVD rip (say something like DVDDecryptor or Smartripper) and then dump it using something like DVDx which is a basic userfriendly app)

Thats assumign you rip to MPEG4 or similar ... if you're ripping to MPEG1/2 then it's time based rather than size-based which exceed the capacity of a DataCD) :)

check out dvdshrink, its a free compressor and is pretty good. dvdshrink.org

Except DVDShrink (which is kewl, i know the programmer, neat guy) is for DVD ops ... meaning MPEG2, not MPEG1

Mpeg what? Do you mean DVD? If not what format are you talking about?

Assuming that you meant DVD then the best place to start is with your equipment. You do have a DVD Burner? good! go here and choose a download site and download DVD Decrypter.

Now that, that's done! Let's find a transcoder or encoder to if necessary squeeze your DVD (shrink it a bit) so that it will fit to DVD+/-R media.

Although DVD Shrink also includes a ripper (rippers need to be updated often and shrink is not) it is most well know as a transcoder. Download it here and get back to us!

Actually i just read the thread again ... why is this a problem? Just play the DVD as you normally would, DVDs, like almost every video format, will scale themselves....

I thought he might have been talking about size wise (Gb->Mb), as for the size of the video, yah, "all" video files automatically re-format themselves to the size of screen they're on.
