Spb Mobile DVD 2.0 to support DVD extras

Spb Mobile DVDPersonally I've never seen the point in paying $25 for software to rip DVDs into a format for viewing on a Windows Mobile device when Fair Use Wizard does the job perfectly well for free.

But then Spb goes and announces that they're upgrading Spb Mobile DVD to support all the extras you get with a DVD, menus, scene selection, language and subtitle selection, extra videos.

There's no word on pricing or availability yet, but Spb Mobile DVD 1.1 goes for $25. Version 1.1 outputs videos as WMV or XVID files in 320x240 or 640x480 resolutions, so I'm going to assume we can expect at least that quality in version 2.0.

Spb Mobile DVD

Spb Mobile DVDSo, 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.

This converter will also convert a standard video file you've got sitting on your machine, so it's not just a one-trick pony. This thing is well worth the $24.95 price tag. 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.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". 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, ...
