F700 : How to create playable video from DVD

Hi all,

Here's a quick guide to encode videos (playable from SD / USB) from DVD.

1/ Install the free software NeoDivx Lazarus downloadable at

2/ Open it

3/ Choose "DVD or Ripp encode"

4/ Choose your DVD path, title and saving name

5/ Choose your audio track

6/ Click "Plus" to Verify settings are "mp3lame" and "128kbits"

7/ Choose a video width of 800 and click "Pi" to let NeoDivx calculate the video height

8/ Change the video width to "640" as to respect the F Series format

9/ Click "Plus" to Verify settings are "Xvid" and "2 passes" the choose a size that will make the bitrate as close as possible of 480 kbits

10/ Click Run

11/ Transfer the video to SD / USB and play it on your Fx00 !!

Don't worry if the video looks deformed on your PC, it's the only solution to fit the crazy aspect ratio of the Fx00.

I hope this will help.
