So im about to get a new zune from a freebie aite and i wanna put some of my dvd movies on it.. can anyone point me in the right direction of a tutorial or programs needed to do this? I have ripit4me, along with dvd shrink and dvd decrypter, as well as 3gp... Not sure if thats all i need or exactly how it works.

Also i have about 120GB of movies already formatted for play on a psp, will those work on a zune if i just transfer them to it?

winavi.com

and xilsoft will do the trick, most movies I dl and in avi format and winavi coverts them to wmv.

I think zune converts mp4 to wmv as well.....

Have fun with your zune.

ok, i converted a couple movies so far with the xilisoft dvd to zune converter.... I dont have the zune yet to try things out...... Any ideas what is the difference or what is better in these formats........

mp4 AAC
Mp4
wmv

It lets u do all 3 of these and they say they are for the zune so im assuming the zune can read and play all 3 formats, but whats the difference or whats advatages or disadvantages of each

I know for a FACT that MP4 AAC is better as far as quality, but the compression is far less. Not too sure about MP4 AAC vs. WMV though. Seems like the list you gave is in order from best quality to lesser quality..

The zune reads wmv, wma, mp3... I don't think it will play mp4 files but it will convert them to a format it can read. Mp4 is the highest of the 3, unfortunately I don't think the zune can read it.

I was wrong, it plays mp4 as well..... I think the higher the quality of the video output the more space it takes up as a file so it's up to you. I encode in 320kb all of my songs and on average a 4 minutes song is 10,050kb.....

Wmv is a good basic format but quality wise it's not a good as Mp4 yet....
