DVD to Fuze - What is the best way????

[Bob95065]

I want to put DVD video on my Fuze. I will begin this message by saying I am new to MP3 players and am not the most computer savy person around.

I tried using Handbrake and it wouldn't read the DVD I was using to test this whole thing out. Is there a better software package to use?

BTW how many DVD movies can I put on my MP3 player? I have a 8 GB Fuze.

TIA,

Bob

This is what I do:

1. Convert DVD to PC using FairUse Wizard 2, see http://fairusewizard.com/lang_en/fai...t_edition.html
2. Convert to Fuze using video4fuze, see http://code.google.com/p/video4fuze/downloads/list
3. Attach Fuze to PC and then drag-and-drop video4fuze file to Fuze Video folder

On an external 8GB microSD card, I have 24 regular-sized movies converted from DVD.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Question: When you use FairUse Wizard what file type do you create?

I am converting a video using FairUse Wizard. What settings do you use throught the conversion process. It seems like there are lots of choices and I want to get it right so I don't waste a lot of time.

FairUse Wizard creates an AVI file type with the default settings. I use the following options: XviD, 500 MB size, Two pass, Delete intermediate files, Run in IDLE base priority, Boost audio level, Allow any characters in project/path name, Open project folder after encoding; Normal Read error correction; English Audio track, MP3 128 Kb/s; 1 Output file segment.

Thank you for rescuing me from SMC Purgatory

Do you know a way to increase the volume of the converted file? The volume is much lower than an audio file on my Fuze.

writedoc mentioned a boost audio level setting that you can select. I haven't tried FairUse Wizard yet, but just from reading this thread make sure you have that selected.
