How to watch DVDs on your cell phone

You can watch full-length DVD movies, television shows and podcasts on your cell phone absolutely free. This is made possible by freeware applications such as Eazy VCD. This application can automatically detect settings for a DVD, so you just need to choose the folder you want the movie saved to, the length of the CD-R for the output.

Things You’ll Need:

• Cell phone with a 128mb or above MiniSD card reader or Transflash (MicroSD)
• <br>PC with a DVD-ROM drive
• <br>Card- reader

2. Place your DVD in your computer's DVD drive. Open and run the Eazy VCD application. Under "Encoding Quality," choose "Lowest Quality (Very Fast)." Now click "Rip It." This will begin the encoding process, which will take a few hours.
3. Download the Nokia Multimedia Converter 2.0, another freeware application. (See Resources below for the download link).
4. Open the Nokia Multimedia Converter 2.0 application. Click on "File" and then "Open." Find and select the file that Eazy VCD created (this is an .mpg file, typically saved in the C: drive by default. Click on "Convert." This will take about an hour or so. After the conversion, click on "File" and then on "Save," and save the file to your desktop or other location.
5. Place the Transflash/MiniSD into its adapter. Insert this into your PC's SD card-reader. Navigate to the folder called " My_Flix" (or a similar name). Drag the file that you just converted (it will be in .3gp format), and save it to this folder. If you don't see the " My_Flix" folder, just insert the card into the phone, power it on and off and the folder will be visible.
6. Place the card into your cell-phone and power up the phone. Go to your "My Flix" menu and pick your movie. It will take the movie about three minutes to load.
