I'm sure I could spend a bunch of time scouring the innerweb for this but I figure some of you yahoos already know the answers.
I just got a new gps that also plays videos. So I'd like to be able to rip DVD's to play on it. Last night, I successfully used a trial version of AnyDVD to decrypt a DVD and Handbrake to rip it (I'm using WinXP). I transferred it to the device and it played fine. I have the following questions:
1. Handbrake doesn't give me the option to set the resolution so it rips at 720x380 or whatever the source is. While my gps does a good job of scaling, the file size is much too big thus taking up too much space on my SD card. Is there anything out there that will allow you to specify the resolution while ripping? My screen size is 320x240. If you always have to shrink it after ripping, what software is best for that purpose?
2. I'm looking for a cheap (possibly free) way to do this that's legal. I don't want cracked warez and I'm willing to pay at least something for it but I'd like to be able to do this cheaply.
Thanks,
