When I look for ways to watch DVD movies on my tablet I find many tools that rip the DVD, and, I think, convert it to something like a MP4 that the tablet can handle. However they all seem to run on the MAC or Windows. Nor do the seem to be FOSS. How would I go about watching a DVD sourced movie given that I have suse/linux as my "main" computer but not access to Windows or a MAC? -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I use K9Copy to rip and/or convert video and it works fine. On Android tablet I have VLC. Still beta, but no problem so far.

VLC? MPlayer? Both worked for me. Good luck, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

Convert to what? I've watched DVD's on my laptop/desktop using VLC and Mplayer, yes I know about that. Since the tablets/phone have their own video playing capability I'm not sure why I need to install VLC. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

MPEG, MP4, AVI. All worked for me in VLC on Android. Otherwise, try K9 and see several formats how well they fit for Your needs...

which often refuse to play some things. VLC can play *anything*. One thing VLC can do is stream, not download, a video from apache plain file directory on your desktop/server machine. That way I can play files of 6 GB size that can not be downloaded into the tablet, or which takes ages to download. They play on the fly, not saving anything locally. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

I wish. I have better luck with SMPlayer, but still far short of 100% with variable bitrate h264 streams saved to disk by Linux STB receivers from DVB satellites e.g. @ 89W, 97W & 99W. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi Can't beat handbrake from PackMan, you can configure the presets to what you want.... works fine for twonkymedia streaming and on an SD card in the ASUS tablet. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.28-4-default up 12:44, 4 users, load average: 0.06, 0.11, 0.13 CPU Intel® B840@1.9GHz | GPU Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

THANK YOU!! That looks great, I'll try it out. Looks like I need some more SD cards! -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, handbrake has a preset for android 2.3 and another for tablets. The former I found useful to convert to a format that my phone finds easy to display. With other video converters I did not find a combination that worked right on the phone, and suitably small sized. On any phone, not only those running vlc, so that I can share a video via whatsup. Possibly knowing the right command line concoction for ffmpeg would work even better, but I don't know the exact combination of switches and options needed. I got tired of trying. webm should work fine on android devices, like tablets :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
