Cell phones: iTunes movies on the HTC Imagio
iTunes movies on the HTC Imagio
by diebatrtdie - 10/26/09 12:36 PMI just purchased HTC Imagio and the main reason for doing this was to be able to watch movies when flying(Without having the phone connected to WiFi, cellulare signal, etc.) I want to buy and download or download from purchased DVDs movies onto my 16GB microSD card and play them while flying in airplanes. In a review I read online it stated,
"We tested the Imagio with movies encoded at VGA wide screen resolution in MPEG4 format (the same H.264 format that's compatible with the iPhone) and were impressed with the results. This is no multimedia weakling: the Imagio"
Does this mean I could buy and download movies to a 16GB mircoSD card from iTunes and watch them on my phone while flying without converting them or whatever? I am not so tech savy so any help would be greatly appreciated.
It depends

There is no problem with your HTC Imagio to play movie with a 16GB microSD card, but it dosen't necessarily mean that it can paly iTunes downloaded movie or DVD movie well --- since you know, iTunes purchased .m4v TV shows & movie (whether they are HD or SD) have DRM (digital rights management) protection, and the DVD disk movie has copy right protection as well.
As far as I know, HTC phone supports Video formats like MP4, 3GP, WMV, ASF, 3G2, M4V, AVI and Audio formats MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, OGG, which means, you have to use a 3rd party DRM removal software to remove DRM copy protection and convert them into HTC compatible formats first, then you can transfer the right files to your HTC SD card.
