Convert DVD to Xbox

Not heard of that one Kojak, but that's because I've been happily using Handbrake (free), Format Factory (free) for encoding/decoding. And I use MagicISO/MagicDisc (not free) to mount/convert image files for easy access, and to allow Handbrake/FF do it's thing. This has worked for years for me, so I've never really bothered to look for alternatives as they work, are free, and simple to use. I also install the K-Lite Codec pack which seems to cover most bases. (Free)

Hi,

I had left the whole video conversion thing for a while now - never really seemed to fully get there.!!

However, I really do need to get it sorted now.
I converted some video using Handbrake. And as far as I can see, there are just two snags:
1) the video screen size is quite small and I cant seem to increase it.
2) the video playback looks like it needs de-interlacing, but I am not sure how.


I did also try the conversion using FormatFactory, and I get the same interlaced playback - but the quality seems worse on here.

I put my hands up, and I dont fully understand all the techno jargon.
I just want to convert the video to playback on DNLA devices, such as xbox, iPad, Samsung TV.


Any help (in laymans terms) would be great.

Cheers
Chris
