Hey gut just wondering how you get movies for the gp32?

Free music videos at

There is also some cartoons and the like at

http://www.doomportables.org/~gp32/
otherwise known as gp32 theatre

These are all abandoned or free cartoons/commercials

Don't ask for professional movies, you have to pay for those.
Ripping your own movies is easy, as there are like 80 tutorials to do so, and then you have the power.

Now I just gotta fix the GPCinema ones now that I really know how to do these...

(I'm a co-admin of GP32 theatre, btw)

You have to convert movies from your DVD disk to a .avi format.

To convert your movies:

1. Virtualdub
2. DivX/XVid codecs
3. a Computer
4. YOur DVD

install the codecs and use virtualdub to the correct format(just play around with the settings)

If you have a mac:

Use handbrake, the best DVD-AVI program. Just put in the settings, and click convert, and your done!

Hope this helps.

Notice that GP Cinema has Nosferatu! Two questions:-

1) Is the film so old that the Copyright has lapsed?

2) How do you get a movie that lasts for 1h 12m down to 5Mb? (Is the quality OK?)

OK, OK that was really three questions.

(BTW - I'm not a GP32 owner yet - but I will be soon)

​

1) Yes
2) I don't know, it can't be great quality, when I compress a short clip (7 min) the file is about 12MB.

oops... the size for nosferatu was a typo. it's really about 103mb. I'll fix that soon. As for the quality, I think it's pretty good. As mentioned before in other threads, the LCD screen blends the frames nicely. Also, I've converted the movies so that they are (hopefully) compatible with GPCinema.

if not ill send settings. We all know I have never failed to encode a movie.

 

[spongebue]

I've figured out how to do them, but you never know if I forgot to do something in VirtualDub (converting all those movies can get a little draining)

 

[Enslaved]

Shouldn't Nosferatu be alot smaller because its black and white? Re-encode it with out color to see if theres a big size difference.

i have a lot of cartoons , they all are show allready in free tv , is it allowed to release this files ?

I don't think so, because when something is shown on TV (even free TV) you see commercials that go along with it, that pay for these shows.
