Got myself an Iphone, never really used them before so learning my way around it.

Few questions.

DVD's to the Iphone.

Any good software you can recommend, oh and legal ofc!

Sat nav functions.

A friend has a Nokia N96 and has some Garmin software installed, can something similar be done and mount the iphone as a sat nav in the car?

Also feel free to recommend any apps etc, productive ones not games etc you think i should be taking a look at or any tip / tricks i should know about.

Thanks for your time :)
 
There's always FormatFactory. Changes just about everything to.. anything.

Running all the cores on my qx9650 @ 90% atm. Still not as quick as that Cuda based converter Badaboom - but then that needs alot of improvement, and aint free iirc.

EDIT: Tbh Lasher, it'd be an idea for some1 at OC3D to get Badaboom (with license from them ofc) to do a comparison of how well/fast it converts vS the best cpu converter. Got some free time for a review ? (for me it lacks the simplest of features even the free media converters have)
 
For the DVD encryption use Handbreak, fantastic app, very fast. It's multi-threaded so all good :)

I'd wait for the TomTom app myself

Totally agree with Kempez. I used Videora for a bit, but Handbrake is so so much better.

Just had a quick play with Handbrake and Badaboom.

1Hr 19min video.

Convert to Mp4​

Handbrake

22Mins

Badaboom -( highest quality settings on basic mode )

7mins - 269FPS

Badaboom used the card well as the temps shot up but also both cores were running at 50% load on the CPU too

Badaboom is graphically pleasant to look at, a few clicks, soruce / output / quality and its done.

Obviously its after the Ipod generation that use the "If it looks good then it is good" philosophy.

Quick test was undertaken with the 30 use trail from Nvidia, which shows as version 1.1

On Nvidias E-Store Version 1.2 is available at a cost of £18.18.

I thought it was damn fast.

U notice that even these people, although utilitizing cuda, are not savy enough programmers to know how to use cores on the cpu.

I'm taking an educated guess that u used ur E8400 rig, the 50% across both cores represents ur setup/OS attempting to spread the use of the single core app across the cores available. 50% across 2 cores representing a 1 core cpu @ 100%. (a quad core would show 25% across 4 cores, 4x25)

I do often wonder if this limit, or bug u could call it, was removed from the setup/OS, that multicore apps would be nothing to think about cos the setup is doing all the core sharing for the useless programmer.

U right about the Badaboom being a throw to the ipod generation of click a few things, it works, and job done. But there are not enough changeable features in it for me. I kinda feel they got the AVtoAV software that it appears became opensource a while back - to be hijacked for commercial purposes (FF etc) - with Cuda hooks thrown in "as far as we could understand the references".
 
Yeah that's what I love about Handbreak, there's loads of options if you want to play, but you can do it all with one click

@lasher: what were the vid qualities like when actually in use with the 3GS?
 
you cheeky sod,

more of a problem here as we all don't have six digits on each hand due to inbreeding :p

Quality was superb, wasn't the best of qualities to start with but perfectly watchable, surprised me really, could easily get used to watching movies on it.

The annoying thing is it wont copy DVD's such as Quantum of Solace due to the DRM on it.

Tried ripping it with the likes of DVD extractor first?

Handbreak gives DVD quality vids when ripped to iPhone format, should be better than just "getting used" to watching it??
 
as mentioned already, one thing to look out for when comparing encoding times is the quality. Worse quality = faster encoding.
