Morning All

Can anyone advise on the best (easiest) way to download full movies to my phone.

I have a tonne of unwatched DVD's and would ideally like to stick a few of them on my N900.

Many Thanks

If you're using some kind of Linux based distribution on your computer, you could always use dvdrip and tablet-encode (picking N900 from the preset list) - this is how I do it, easy and fast.

For Windows, I've used Handbrake. Step-by-step here:

Excellent quality.

Assuming you have a desktop computer somewhere in the house, I'd suggest Knots2, which encodes your movies on the fly, in a way, suitable for your n900. Saves a lot of time.

Have a look here:

IMO the best way is to install transmission (torrent client) and download dvdrips

Not everybody cares for 720p. I certainly don't.

Did u seriously just mention 720p and DVD's in the same sentance??

You do realise DVD's are nowhere near 720p resolution right?

Infact the resolution of a DVD is actually slightly lower then the resolution of the N900's screen!
