TabletBlog.com by ThoughtFix: DVD to Internet Tablet in Two Steps

A step-by-step guide to ripping a DVD for use on your Nokia N800 Internet Tablet.

I assume this also works for the N770, and will work for the N810. In fact, this should be a good guide to getting video reduced for any small-screen device.

The comments about the audio are interesting. Most N800 users seem to prefer the MPlayer application to the default application, but the N800 setting on Handbrake uses an audio encoding supported by the built-in player. You an change it for MPlayer, but why bother.

Personally I've reduced a DVD to 300M with only minor visual artifacts. The big space hog is the audio, but reducing it too much makes the movie worse than a few visual deficiencies.
