I'm using SUPER to convert my DVD's music video's ect.. Do anyone now if there's any setting to utilize the entire screen as they did with the demo video that came with the up grade? Or SUPER is just not the right media convert for the n800, My video scale size that I'm using is 320:240 the only options are 128:96 240:192,176:144,220:176,352:288 Aspect 4:3 Frame/Sec 30 Bitrate kbps 480 And my audio settings are Sampling Freq 24000 Channels 1 Bitrate 96 any help will be appreciated.

I am not familiar with SUPER but I suggest using Media Converter 1.4 or better. I just converted 6 episodes of HDTV Heroes to fullscreen and it worked like a charm.

Do you play back on a 770 or a N800?

Any tips on converting direct from DVD in Media Converter?

AFAIK you have to rip the DVD and convert it to DivX, MPEG or some other format of the sort and then use Media Convertor on that file.

AUTOGK!
i backup all my dvds for the road with dvd decrypter http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
and then autogk http://www.autogk.me.uk/
both are free and pretty easy to figure out. sometimes i use dvdvault but that is not free and it has a little trouble with high mtion... but it is a one click process

also dvd decrypter is a fairly fast process so do sevral dvds then use a batch list in auto gk so it can convert them over night wile you sleep

Eh? I didn't do nuffin'.

On the subject of converting DVDs, however, I'd like to recommend FairUse Wizard

It works well for me.
