ive been using virtualdub to convert my already ripped dvds to be able to watch on the bold.
As youve already been ripping to ipod, i'll skip the dvd ripping part... I load up the AVI i already have in vdub and then in Video > Compression, select Xvid codec then Configure and select "Simple @ L0" as the profile. Save AVI and wait..
Seems to play fine on the bold, no judder or the likes.
