So, you've got a problem. You've got a handy little Pocket PC with a beautiful screen and stereo sound, but no way of getting your DVDs compressed and converted to a compatible file format so that you can put them onto it. Right? Enter Spb Mobile DVD. This little application packs a lot of punch, but is as easy to use as you could imagine. Simply drop in your DVD, launch the application, then follow the wizard as it helps you choose the best settings for your Pocket PC and the particular DVD you're encoding. On the upper end, the quality is extremely good; you can get true VGA (640x480). Spb Mobile DVD supports both XVID and the more standard WMV video formats, and can convert videos that will play on devices down to a 200MHz processor.

The trial version will let you test its capabilities, but puts an ugly green nag screen over top of your video repeatedly, so you'd never want to have to watch something like that.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

There's so much viable (and better) free alternatives to convert video I don't know where to start : PocketDivXencoder, SUPER, etc.. use them instead.

For Mac, HandBrake is a great program. Simple, but just enough options to get a video optimized well for any device.
