You may not need to bother with transcoding. I looked at this for my Asus |
| 9 |
Transformer and spent time with mencoder settings etc trying to get the |
| 10 |
right format for the Android supported video formats. Then I discovered |
| 11 |
Moboplayer in the android market, that uses software decoding to play |
| 12 |
just about anything, so I just rip the DVD titles as MPEG2, no |
| 13 |
transcoding needed at all. If the Fire's CPU can handle software |
| 14 |
decoding, this is a much simpler, and higher quality, solution. |
