yes in Australia the hand brake is usually located in the passengers seat and is married to the driver (if male).

it does look like an interesting app though. More straight forward interface than some.

Have your fun!

There are so many video conversion programs that ??

I am running it now but it is as slow as shit converting a vid into mp4 for my kindle fire. This is the first time I have used it.

Anything better ?? to reduce the overall size of the file and convert to mp4?

But still have a good resolution!

video 'conversion' prog... ahhh eye sea. Check a couple free first then I have another but not sure about shrinking thi,

winavi
imgburn
dvdfab

I have a pay one but kids sleeping so can't ask if it shrinks filesize.

I had to google since it wasn't clear what you were asking


HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

Yes, handbrake WILL do this, but it will do it as a transcoding, not as a simple container swap. This will result in lost quality and a much longer total time than using one of the methods mentioned below.

MP4 and MKV are both simply containers that can support almost all of the same video and audio codecs. Demuxing from the MKV and remuxing to an MP4 will result in no quality loss and can be done in a fraction of the time.

use:

MeGUI

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/GOTSent this does it
http://yamb.unite-video.com/download.html as does this
http://www.freemake.com/ so does this
http://ffmpeg.org/ and this
http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ also came recommended
http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html haven't used this but a poster said it was good


Good luck, most if not all of those should be faster than handbrake.

dvdfab is an absolutely fantastic program for creating .iso's

I have and use several cracking programs to rip dvd's. But since I have gotten my kindle firehd, I find myself needing to reduce the file sizes down to the 1gig size and also into mp4 so I can load several movies on my device. I have just used handbrake and it works but shit it is slow doing the converting at about 2-3 hours per movie.

Anything faster? I do not plan to keep the movies on my device only long enough to watch them when I am out and about and then unload/delete them and maybe add more. I am trying to keep 6 gigs of memory free for movies so at one gig per movie I could tote 5-6 movies at a time. This kindle beats the hell out of my laptop for moving about because of its small size 7" screen is just right for a personal movie/web browsing/ book reader, without having to drag my heavy laptop out. I just got a mobile hot spot so I can hit the road and stay connected on the web without needing to find wifi hotspost.

Handbrake works fine other than the speed thing.

Thanks, I will nose around and see if one of these will do the job. I could drag my Large laptop and just play the dvds but I am looking at portability that my kindle has for quick/easy use when on the road.

I've used it in Windows. I prefer another program that converts DVDs to .avi in Linux though. Its called OGM Rip.
