How do I convert DVD files to my Evo?

OK, so I'm ready to start toying around with watching DVD movies on my Evo. I have Clone DVD software on my desktop that I've been using for years but wasn't sure if I can transfer a movie file from it to my Evo. Not looking for anything Blu-Ray or 3D (for now). Just a basic DVD movie file. Thanks for any input:)

as long as its a supported movie format... you can just throw it on your sd and us a file explorer to fine it and watch it
 
If you have it ripped to your computer you can use handbrake to convert it to a smaller more supported format.
 
Thanks for the quick reply guys. Went to my desktop DVD movie downloaded folder (Video_TS) and dragged the folder over to my Evo SD card. Took about 10 to 12 minutes. I thought I would be able to open it thru the "Play Movies" apps installed. Which apps do I need to recover it?

OK, I'm getting closer:rolleyes:. ES file explorer locates the "Video_TS" file on my SD card. When I select the file, it has 29 sub-files inside of it. These must be small chapters of the movie because selecting some of them gives me about 1 second of play time and others just read "sorry, this video cannot be played. :confused:

that means that clone dvd is trash... try something else

No, it means that he's trying to play raw dvd, . vob files which no phone supports. You have to use something like Handbrake to convert the movie to a supported format like mpg.

Yep, that was the problem. I converted it over with Skysoft DVD Ripper and then loaded it onto my SD drive. Working like a charm now:D. Thanks for all the input. I'll hit everyone up later for 3D downloading once I upgrade my stock SD card to something bigger. Thanks again :)
 
to be honest I used to like watching movies on the phone when i moved from the OV (tiny screen) to the Triumph (huge clear screen) but i never loaded any files on SD.

i used netflix with wifi.

then it faded and I stopped watching movies on the phone. wasnt fun anymore.

the EVO 3D totally changed that, I try to ONLY watch 3d movies on it now, I try to get a new one every week.

if its formatted correctly in qhd or 720, it looks REALLY nice on this screen.

the only downside is holding it, but i watch while in bed with headphones and i have a little stand that holds the screen in the right position.

if your going to watch movies on a phone, THIS is the way to do it. try loading a SBS 3d movie to it.
 
Yeah use Handbrake, its free and works the best anyways. I have a few I tried recently with Handbrake and they worked like a charm, Miracle & Harold & Kuma :)

Where do you get the movies in 3D? Thanks
 
Man, the Standard DVD's I loaded on my Evo look outstanding! Almost like they're upscaled to 1080P :) Looking to get a larger SD card to hold more movies and music. Was wondering which card is recommended. Also would adding a larger card slow the phone down any?
 
I'm using a SanDisk 64 gb class 10 and am quite happy with it, definitely doesn't slow the phone down.
