Sorry for delay on giving a more accurate description.
[Please notice i have never tried it, but if you have time i do not
think you will get in trouble.]
A) Go to the link http://www.cs.buffalo.edu/~afaversa/
and D/L the file "0SEx-0.0101b.sit". Use the freeware application to
extract a single decripted VOB audio/video file from any dvd.
B) Then go to the link http://openshiiva.sf.net
and D/L the file Openshiva 0.8.9 - Openshiva application will let you
convert a VOB a/v file to a Quicktime file. The decoding options will
include any of yours quicktime video codecs already installed in
/library/quicktime (on Mac OSX), the same for audio (i.e. i always use
3ivx for video and mp4 for audio, or DivX Pro for video and MP3 audio).
MP4 decoding is the best option i think on long movies, instead for
photos slides/previews (the idea is to D/L them in the Newton) i prefer
a Sorenson codec (the same used to put Hubble HiRes space photos on the
web too).
C) Go to the link
http://www.unna.org/unna/macos/NewtonMovieConverter.sit
to D/L the Newton Movie Converter. To use it: 1) open NTK - 2) increase
NTK memory (heap and build) - 3) drag your quictime movie on the Movie
converter icon - 4) bevi un buon caffe' - 5) install the ready newton
movie package and play it on your MessagePad.
NOTE: The Newton movie converter will convert only the video track of
your quicktime movie. To convert the audio, D/L the sound plug-in from
the link http://www.kallisys.com/files/mac/MovieToSound.sit.hqx (thanks
to Paul guyot)
[Please let me know if you have success, as i said above i never tried
it...]
Hope you will find the provided informations useful anyway.

I have DVD files and I would like to encode them into MOV and finally
into the Newton movie format. How would I go about doing this? I have
machines running Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux so I should be
able to run almost any software. The DVD video resolution is 352x288,
and it is PAL format as it was converted from Betamax to DVD in
Germany. Any ideas?
