any one know how i can get a video(dvd)to run on a mobile phone,and what program i would need to do it

assuming that your phone uses 3gp as its format then you need a converter, this should do the trick

thanks mr cribbens,i'll give it a try,its for the wifes phone(nokia 5630)and in the specs it says it uses 3gp so with a bit of luck it might work
