Played a BMW film using the built in media player on the 400mhz model. Looked and sounded great to me. As a test, reduced the speed of the unit to 200 mhz and still looked/sounded fine.

I have played both divx and wma files (pocket divx & media player) and both play superb - the divx ran smoother and larger than the wma files (which were also the bmw films.. why are they so small?). I have also played a couple mp3's, and didn't sound too bad from the speaker, but sounded awesome from the headphones. Now I'm on to compressing down some of my dvd's to divx to play from CF  |

Jhokur2k --What is the size of your divx movies? I've never tried making divx before, but I might start doing so.
Orangeaid -- I just got my axim today. I'll try it later. Yesterday I made a mpeg 30 clip from analog TV at a resolution of 320x240 at a fairly low quality rate, and I'll see what it looks like on the Dell. The file size I made is about 120 mb, but from there I'll tweak it after I check the quality, cause that's still pretty big.
I ordered a 512 mb CF card for $100 total after rebate so I'm happy, but I will be looking for more ways to compress media.

What about?
I just went to microsoft's pocket pc site and found the windows media encoder 7.1 After converting a 700mb divx movie to mpeg using tmpgenc and using the compaq ipaq template (given by Microsoft along with the encoder) I was able to shrink the whole thing (1hour 40min) down to a 165mb .wmv file. It looks crystal on my desktop but I don't have my axim yet to try it out!

I haven't compressed any of my own yet, been downloading the trailers on a few sites... for instance the trailer for Minority Report is 1:21 long, and is 2.4MB in size, I think they are 320x224 res.

Full Size
I noticed different movie sites have different sizes for videos. Some being around 208x160 and others being around 320x240. I wonder which is the best. I would assume bigger the better but what is the full screen size?

well, being that the screen is 240x320, or 320x240 in landscape, that would be full size - letterbox should be 320x180.

Hmmm....
See that strikes me as odd now...the template mircrosoft supplied for the ipaq was 208x160...why wouldn't they use 320x240 instead? I wonder how much bigger the file will be at 320. I guess I have to just do both and see which works better. Now if my Axim could get here...
