Welcome to this tutorial. I'm Kenny, a moderator of the Movies forum on PPCWarez. This tutorial is targeted towards new users, new releasers, and people who can't seem to make a quality release (AKA: n00bs) .

Anyways. Simply follow the instructions in the text and take a look at the screenshots.

Step 1: Finding and Downloading FULL Movies:

1. You can find movies on many warez sites on the internet. Here are three ways of downloading movies off of the internet.
- Warez Sites
PhazeDDL.com, ProjectW.org, etc.
- Torrenting
Download BitTorrent/Azureus and download .torrent files off of TorrentSpy.com.
- Limewire, Bearshare, etc.
This is the WORST way to download movies, but if you must, you can get movies off of various file-sharing clients.

2. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will find a movie from ProjectW.org. Download it. And release it. Here is how:
- First, go to projectw.org.
- Make a username and activate your user.
- Now, go to the "Movies" forum. Select a movie listing that looks good.

- Find the supplied links given by the movie releasers. I suggest looking at the last few pages of the topic, for the best quality.

- Use Flashget -flashget.com- to download the movie fast, assuming you have a direct download link. If not, you cannot use flashget and must use your browser. Simply open flashget, press Ctrl+C to copy all your links, then a flashget window should pop up, add in your settings, and make sure to split the file into 10 parts and enter in your login information.

- It is most easy to download movies with a Rapidshare.com Premium Account. If you cannot get one, you can release 12 movies and become a Major Movie Uploader. Major Movie Uploaders have access to our new RapidShare Premium tool.

- When the download is done, or at 100%. Proceed to the next step, converting.

Step 2: Converting and Compressing Movies For Pocket-PC:

1. You can compress movies with many tools, but I've found Omniquiti Lathe 1.5 to far surpass ANY tool. Please use this tool.
- Go to ppcwarez.org
- Click "Search" in the top left.
- Search for "Lathe" in Category: Software Releases by Category>>PC
- Click on "Ominquiti Lathe 1.5"
- Find a suitable download link and download this tool.

2. Use Omniquiti Lathe to convert the movie to a PPC file.
- Open the application (Lathe). Shown ABOVE.
- Choose an input file, by clicking the folder. ( This will be the movie you downloaded and extracted. )

- Choose an output file by clicking the folder below it.
Name your file this:
Movie Title - PPC - YourPPCWAREZNAME.avi
- Click PRESETS
- Go down to the Pocket PC one.
- Click it, and make sure the middle one... (PORTRAIT) is selected, or else your movie will come out backwards.

- Now, go back to "BASIC"
- Click the audio quality till it is at six. *(DO NOT LOWER THIS EVER)*
- Now, click the video quality to these standards (refer to terms at very top):

Code: Select allSo, the quality settings depend on your runtime, original DVD quality, age of the movie... so here:

1 hour to 1 hour 30 min, DVDRip from 1990's and beyond: 280-300 MB
1:30 to 2:00, DVDRIP from 1990's and beyond: 305-360 MB
Above 2:00, DVDRIP, 1990+: 320-375 MB
the tutorial is simple but well done
Older Movies:
1:00 to 1:30 DVDRIP --- 300-320 MB
etc. ---> On old movies raise quality about 20 MB
BRAND New movies:
CAM --> 335-350 MB
CAM-VCD --> 330-340 MB
TELESYNC --> 320-340 (Varies) MB
Judge MORE or LESS Megabytes based on the runtimes, etc.

- Now, you can preview the video quality by clicking PREVIEW. I suggest doing this. Your quality should be GREAT. This is the main reason why I created this tutorial. There are too many poor quality releases.
- Now, resize your video. Many people have different preferences on this, whether full screen (cut off some of the sides) or widescreen. I use my own "Compromise" settings, called ---> Mid-Screen.
- This is a bit hard to do. Click Resize. Now, I usually click the 320-setting over to the right until the right side says 200-206.

- Notice that the video playing in this sizing tool is NOT accurate to what the quality will be like. The only way to preview the quality is by clicking preview.
- Make sure 2-PASS Encoding is CHECKED.
- Click APPLY
- Now, you're basically done. Just press START.
- After encoding is TOTALLY done, continue to the third step.

Step 3: Uploading PPC Movies:

1. You can upload movies on MANY upload sites. I suggest:
- Rapidshare.com
- Megashares.com
- Megaupload.com
- Find others on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_one-click_hosters

2. Upload your movie.
- Upload your movie, when its done, grab the link and proceed to the last step.

Step 4: Releasing PPC Movies:

1. Release your movie on PPCWarez.org
- Head to ppcwarez.org
- Go to the Movie Releases Section
- Start a NEW TOPIC
- Follow the guidelines to make your release.
- Add in "*Used Movie Tutorial" at the end of your release to receive extra reward points donated by me, Kenny.
- Make sure to have a cover image, below the overview and genre. Save, and upload it to imagemule.com -->Or if its small enough to PPCWarez.
- Wait for at least 36 Hours (usually one or two) for a moderator to reward your release.

2. Become a "Major Movie Uploader"
- After 12 legitimate releases, you can become a Major Movie Uploader, which has many benefits.

If something is missing, or I want to add more, I will edit this post. I expect NO BAD QUALITY RELEASES NOW.
That is all for my tutorial. Any Questions?

Great tutorial, Ken. What about movies one owns on a DVD?

[Kenny]

You will need to rip these:
http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2005/12/26/how-to-rip-a-dvd-a-tutorial/

You can find this DVD Decrypter software on ProjectW.org.

quick q... 12 full movies released and we'll become a Major Movie Uploader.. how bout series and anime? How many do we need?

[Kenny]

Deznom,

This is a hard question to answer.

You can be promoted to a Major Uploader position by uploading a lot of movies and being active in the forum. The main thing is activity. Basically, if we see that your name is coming up a lot in the Movie Releases forum... you'll soon get a promotion.

Then again, its "Lifehacker" that handles all of this.

Kenny is right. The minimum requirement is 12 movies but that does not mean that you will get Major Movie Uploader status. You need to be very active to get any Major Warez Uploader status.

Thanks for the guide, it is very informative. The one thing is I can't see any of the pictures.... Also, do you have a recommended kbps?

[timothy]

I have seen this guide now and the guide is fantastic. Now i can make from my movies a great quality for the ppc. Fantastic

[AeroIceman]

Thanks for the guide, it is very informative. The one thing is I can't see any of the pictures.... Also, do you have a recommended kbps?

do you mean fps??
if so, for a most dvdrips the standard fps should be between 25-30fps.
Note: most pre 1990 cartoons are 10-15fps.
