save dvd's to play on transformer.

[jemalone]

What is a good program to use to save dvd disks to a file to play on the transformer. I just got mine this week and want to load up a couple movies to take with me when we go to on a trip next week.

I have a 32 gig sd card to store movies on, is there a file size limit for the movie files.

thanks.

Handbrake is a good ripping program. Do a search for specs -somebody posted a good write up the other day.

EDIT: here are the specs I found listed on another site - http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...onvert-video-transformer-using-handbrake.html

Thanks to both of you I will give Handbrake a try. I tried MakeMKV this morning after posting this and it words but makes the output file size a litter over 5 gigs. It seems to play ok for the two minutes I played but I will give handbrake a try and see if I can get the file size to be smaller.

thanks

I just bought DVD Catalyst 4 for $9.99 and it works great. It is easy to use and gives you a huge amount of options on what you want to play the ripped movie on. I chose the Galaxy Tab option and it looks great on the Transformer. I ripped the complete Avatar movie for around 1.5Gig in about an hour. Their website is DVD Catalyst 4 | DVD and MKV to Galaxy Tab, Iconica, iPad2, NOOK, Playbook, Transformer, Xoom and more. You can download a free fully functional trial that is limited to about 30 minutes of movie to see if it works for you.

I never tried handbrake, but others do say it works good.

Just picked up Catalyst 4 from the link above. It works great. Set the profile to Xoom (Fast) and the DVD came out perfect.

I've also had great results using Freemake Video Converter. It has a "To android" conversion button at the bottom that makes it simple.
It's also free!
