Makayama Releases Mobile TV Center
"Watch TV on more than 500 mobile phones, Pocket PCs, iPod, PSP and portable media players. Take your TV programs on-the-go. All the shows that your record with your Windows Media Center are automatically converted in the background and transferred to your mobile phone, iPod, Pocket PC, Palm. Simply record TV-shows for your portable device by selecting a tv-show in the EPG (on-screen program guide)."
This is for those of us without TiVO or a Slingbox - Makayama's Mobile TV Center records and syncs those shows you missed or want to watch again on your device. It does require Windows Media Center, and the syncing occurs through a memory card. While this strikes me as a little clumsy, it does mean faster data transfers than if you go through Activesync plus you avoid some of Activesync's idiosyncracies when dealing with large files. You can give it a trial or purchase it for $34.95 through our affiliate store.

Missing Something
Perhaps I am missing something. What are the other, perhaps more manual methods of making shows recorded on windows MCE small enough to put on your PPC? I have MCE and a Samsung i830, and wasn't aware of any easy method to compress the ginormously large MCE files.

I would like to know a way to convert these files to a smaller format as well (divx would be great). Just something with a nice interface like pocketdivxencoder where I can set minimal options and it turns out great.

Lack of support
Makayama has NO support. I've purchased two versions of DVD to PocketPC and have requested technical support on each. Never a response. I sent an e-mail every day for 20 days and never a response. I've been looking for a forum to vent on this.

A black hole ain't got nothin' on Makayama. Major, professional suckage. Their software has more bugs than week-old roadkill, and there's a better chance of Lindsey Lohan staying sober for a month than getting any customer support from Ca-ca-yama.
And my name is Not Mitch. =P
