SlySoft.CloneDVD.Mobile is a (not.free) app that is as simple as possible.
It is MEncoder based. (
SlySoft CloneDVD mobile | DVD to PSP, DVD to iVideo, DVD to ZEN)
- for iRiver, just pick the *Generic (DivX) - first profile in the list
- just hit the NEXT button (choosing your dvd drive, chapters etc)
- in the end, make sure you pick 320x240 resolution
- you can only control the video bitrate (audio is fixed mp3 128K) - 382k is a good number (17 Video quality on the slider)
- a 2 pass is great, and you cand even pick 3 pass
- No other settings are present. Not even the A/R corection ones (so I dunno what you can do with WS movies / subs etc). I've tested it and it plays 100% on the clix2.
- It will also copy usual protected DVDs...
DVDFab.Platinum (
Remove DVD Copy Protection | DVD backup software) a better choice for easy 1 click direct DVD2clix conversion.
- choose DVD to Mobile (Generic) profile
- select chapters / audio etc.
- NEXT --> Configure (bottom left)
- Device: generic + generic.avi.xvid.mp3
- Frame Resolution MUST be 320x240 (from the big listbox on the right)
- Framerate: same as source
- I recommend 2 pass with 382k bitrate for video and 128k for audio
- click OK then click START....
- Tested and works 100% on clix2 (I had a 4:3 source, I dunno how it treats widescreen material)
- Also present are subpictures (subs) - I did not check that option out.
- DVDFab is one of the most up-to date prot-dvd copy util. They say it can copy everything !
