yeah as lordgodgeneral said, no DVD copy will ever work on android because they all have either iTunes, Sony, or WMP DRM in them.

The only way to get your DVDs onto the tablet is to strip the DRM from the digital copies, or rip the DVD to a video file.

any guides on this and what the best format is ?

Handbreak to rip the movie. Dvd43 can remove copyright protection if you have a 32 bit copy of windows. Anydvd will remove copyright protection on 32 and 64 bit, but cost $69.

I've been using acidrip (which is a simple to use wrapper around mencoder (linux)) for dvds. The avi's play cleanly on transformer; though there is a bit of distortion (I'm beginning to think the transformer pixels are not square) but the videos play without any lag et all.

Haven't tried blu-rays yet; not sure if there is a good solution for linux.

What format to RIP DVD's to for playing on Transformer

I just got my Transformer and I would like to rip some of the Kids and my movies for the long car trips. I was looking into getting DVDFAB DVD Ripper. What format should I rip my DVD's into to run on the Transformer using MoboPlayer? My computer is Windows 7 64 Bit and mostly I have are DVD's and would be loading them to the microSD Card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dutch_in_seattle:
I've had great success with DVD Catalyst 4, which enables you to rip DVDs (including DRM'ed ones) as well as convert existing video files. There are no specific Transformer profiles (yet), but use the Xoom HQ2 profile and you're good to go. Well worth the $9.95.

dvd fab is fine for ripping the movie it even has option to convert to mp4 for mobile device (but you have to pay for that option).so whats the best setting to convert rips for the transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not that it helps the OP in the slightest, but this can be done on certain Android implementations. For example, my Galaxy Tab 7" can play DRM'd WMP titles.

yeah guess i should of said stock android.

Honestly this topic is turning into a pretty good place to find out how to work DVDs on the transformer. Hope it stays around since a lot of people are going to need this.

Personally i've used AnyDVD and CloneDVD mobile in the past, but handbreak is a lot better.

i haven't tried DVD catalyst, but if it has a profile for honeycomb, i may have to check that one out. and for only $10 thats a steal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMist:
Another vote for DVD catalyst. Some really good results. Using the Xoom/Honeycomb profile.

Still working of ripping Toy Story 3 though. I own all on DVD, and it would have been great to take TS3 with me to keep the the little-un quiet. He's now addicted to Ice Age, so {{{raspberry}} to you Disney.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quietas:
I'll second DVD Fab as well, simple and easy to use. 1Click DVD works well also, it really is one click (minus 1 time setup and fiddling).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
What's a good solution for blu-rays ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
Thank you :)

The Toy Stories are a bit picky. 1 and 2 (platinum edition) do work in the current beta, TS3, track 19 should be the correct one. Have a look in the "Problem DVD" section on my website. When I run into issues with DVDs, I list them there (along with what is needed to make them work)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
so using handbrake do you just rip it as MP4 settings and it will work on the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
Does Toy Story 2 Special Edition work? I got Toy Story 1 to work fine with the new beta but Toy Story 2 SE does not work using Track 40.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
The one I have is the bluray + DVD combo Special Edition.

When the selection box shows, it (for some reason) doesn't show times, but with track 40 selected (should be selected by default) just click OK. Scanning will start then restarts to a different scanning mode because the dvd is picky, and after that, the conversion should work fine.

I attached a screenshot of it running on my system using the standard Xoom profile.

If for some reason your DVD is different, you can use VLC or PowerDVD or something to play the DVD on your PC, get to the point where you are actually in the movie, and then look for the title # or track #. This is the the track to use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
I have the same DVD combo also. I tried it with the Transformer profile on the beta DVD Catalyst and the output file could not be played. I'm guessing the Xoom and Transformer profiles are the same, but I will give it another try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
Correct, the Transformer profiles are copies of the Xoom profiles. Since it uses the same hardware internally (tegra2) and runs the same OS, it has the same capabilities and limitations regarding video playback.

The movie finished. Attached screenshots:

shot of finished in dvdcat, shot of movie playing in quicktime, and shot of xoom playing the video.

both Toy Stories I worked on for Beta 4, so if you are using beta3 or older, they will not work. beta5 is the latest one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
Both my first and second attempts started the scan but never restarted. It appears this was also the case on the screen shot you posted. Is this a necessary step?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
this is completely transparent.

Make sure you are using beta 4 or beta 5 (global > version info > tap beta button)

then just start dvdcat, insert DVD (or the other way around) and when it brings up the popup with the tracklist, just click OK. It should have track 40 highlighted.

After that, it will scan, then restart scan, and after that I just started the conversion by tapping Go.

Note that I do not have anything like anydvd or dvd43 running. While these programs can help in most cases, with some DVDs they can actually cause complications.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
It did work this time around. I don't think I did anything differently than the first time, but thanks for your help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
You are welcome,

Before I started, I did reset dvdcat to its defaults completely, so it could be a setting was causing some complications. If you look at the beta5 post in the latest news section on my website, it shows the sure-way of doing that.

Thankfully there are only a few DVDs that are as picky as these though.

DVD Catalyst 4 Beta 6

Thanks Adam,

The "Digital Copies" mentioned in this thread are the ones you get for "free" with some DVDs and Blurays. The ones that come with a lengthy code to enter to activate/download and all that, and these are loaded with DRM. The wmv files you created yourself are unprotected.

To update to the beta, just have a look in the "Latest News" section on my website, the full Beta 6 description is close to the top there. I recommend to have a look at it so you know what to expect, and what has changed, but for your convenience, this will get you the beta:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keroppilee:
dvd catalyst looks good. will it ever support bluray?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
The Beta does, but it needs AnyDVD HD to assist, or use something like MakeMKV to rip the BR to an MKV and then use that with DVD Catalyst. For DVDs, it works out of the box without the need of additional software.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks! got it installed, updated to beta 6 and have done a few movies including toy story. so far so good! excellent product... i'll report back when i try a blue ray.

got dvd cat 4 build 4.0.2.7 which zoom option should i select to convert a DVD for the epad tried the standard one but quality isnt very good and audio is out of sync. reading the thread it says no need to adjust things just select zoom and it works?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glgehman:
I use DVDFab and it works well. Under the DVD-to-Mobile menu, you could pick Zune (makes wmv) or xbox (makes wmv) or iPod/iPhone (makes mp4).

I choose Generic and then from the menu at the bottom center that says Profile, I pick: generic.avi.h264.mp3. Be sure not to pick any of the profiles that say "audiocopy." That preserves the source audio (sometimes it's AC-3 dolby or other complex formats that will choke the android device). Be sure to pick mp3 for audio.

For the most part, you can leave the profile settings at their defaults.

glg
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
Use the build-in video player for playback of the movie, not one of the market players. The build-in player will play the MP4 files properly since it uses the hardware-video support better. With market players like RockPlayer, you will experience playback issues.

Use the Xoom profiles (or update to the Beta, which has transformer-profiles, but they are basically the same)

Xoom = for DVDs and DVD sized content

Xoom HQ1/HQ2 for HD-content such as MKV/Bluray rips etc.

If you have AnyDVD HD or DVDfab Passkey, the Beta can convert from bluray directly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
Thanks ill give that a try

sent from my LEE Pad Transformer........I wish
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
You are welcome,

Most of the market players do offer support for additional video formats (avi, mkv) by using a software-based (cpu-only) conversion engine, but unless you configure them properly, they will use this engine for MP4 files as well. Because of the video format (h264) used in the video files dvd catalyst creates, it really needs the hardware acceleration for video playback. Players like Mobo Player seem to switch portions to hardware-mode, but for best results, Gallery, or even better, a file-browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and the build-in video playback engine work best.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrunchyDoodle:
I have several DVDs on my tablets, such as Avatar, District 9, Kick Ass and Salt. They all got there by being first processed by AnyDVD and then reformatted with Handbrake to be 2GB maximum size. They work pretty well. This would work with most any DVD or BluRay disk.

Bye. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
trying to convert one now it gives output resulution as 1008 x 544 is this correct?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
Yes.

If the resolution of the source video is lower than that of the selected resolution, it will use the source resolution.

If I post links directly here, I'm likely to get banned, but for pretty much every question you might have, I have articles on my website that explain things in full detail.

There are a couple of links displayed (a small FAQ) underneath the conversion status, while DVD Catalyst is running. Have a look at the one "why is resolution different" it explains why.

So I've been trying for the past few hours but I just can't seem to get things right.

Pretty much I've followed this guide:

remove *. I don't qualify to post links

h*ttp://*w*ww.*incredibleforum.*com/forum/htc-incredible-themes/6020-%5Btutorial%5D-how-make-themes.*h*tml

And all I wanted to do just to see if I was editing the right file or doing things correctly to change the status bar background to something extremely noticeable (red) even though it isnt attractive, for testing purposes.

I edited the following files and have had 0 success:

status_bar_background.png

status_bar_close_on_cust.9.png

status_bar_header_background.9png *this is what I thought was the only file I needed to change*

statusbar_background.9.png

So my questions are:

1. Is this tutorials a good tutorial to follow?

2. Which file(s) will simply change the status bar?

before people point me into other directions, I have been searching this and many other forums for the answer and I can't seem to find anything and yes I've used the "search" feature of the forum.

I have also downloaded numerous themes created by other users and tried to look in the framework/res/drawable-hdpi and I just can't seem to figure it out. I've actually changed files from other themes and tried to load the update.zip, everything goes well but nothing is changed.

Other than that thank you in advance! any help is much appreciated.

After more tampering of basically trial and error.. The only things I can seem to edit are the actual notification bar icons. I've tried changing other elements associated with status_*.png and no go. Anyone have any suggestions?
