Things you gotta know when converting DVD to Galaxy Tab 10.1

On top of Galaxy Tab 7.0, Samsung has brought us the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is as thin as the iPad 2 and even lighter.

Reviews indicate it is a powerful portable media player that supports universal codecs; however, MPEG-2 is not naturally supported by the 10.1 inch Galaxy tablet, which means you will not be able to watch DVD movies on Galaxy Tab 10.1, even if you hack protections and copy DVD to Galaxy Tab 10.1, cause DVD movies are MPEG-2 encoded .vob files.

Tip 2. Save memory space by cutting down output file size. Likewise, click “Settings” in step 3. The secret to reduce file size is setting lower bitrate. E.g. When converting DVD Premonition to use the default settings of H.264 Video (*.mp4) format (1500kbps), the software generates a 1.75GB mp4 file. If I set bitrate down to 900kbps, the file size would be down to 686MB. One thing you should keep in mind is that when you downsize video bitrate, you lower video quality.
