Ripping DVD movies

If you want to play DVD movies, the first step is to rip the DVD into an AVI file using a DVD ripper program.
The program does not have a DVD converter included. We recommend the use of the free XMPEG (), step-by-step tutorial included, or if you wish to make it easier, in one step, try Makayama's Mobile Media Maker.

Converting AVI files to a DVDPlayer-supported format

To convert an existing AVI file into the supported format, we recommend the use of a Lathe for Nokia, included in the installation file.

After conversion, upload the file to the phone using Nokia PcSuite (comes with the phone, or download it at ), or copy it to the MMC using a card writer, then start DVDPlayer - it will show the new file in the list. The program needs about 2Mbyte free memory on the phone (not on the MMC).

You may need to download additional codecs for encoding the files: DivX (), or XviD codec ()

Supported languages: English, German.

Supported movie format (if you do not want to use Lathe):

AVI file
picture width max. 640, height: max. 200 pixels;
DivX orXviD encoded video
8kHz or 16kHz, MP3 encoded audio
interlaced, max. 12 frame per second.
Recommended bitrates:

video bitrate 150 - 200 kbps
audio bitrate 16- 32kbps, 16kHz, mono
using these settings, a 2-hour movie will be about 100Mbyte - 150Mbyte.
