The PocketDivX player is a little old. You may want to check out BetaPlayer (http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/) instead. It can be installed on an SD card without problems (easily accomplished by accessing the CABs and using a program like CabInstl to install it into a folder on the SD card).

Thank you for your suggestions. Previously, I downloaded the PocketDivX using my PDA and attempted to intall in on the SD card using CabInstl, but I could not change the program directory no matter how many time I tried. Though, BetaPlayer have no problem with CabInstl. (but I think that Pocket Divx is better in some aspects) By the way, do you know any player that can play quicktime file? Also, thank you very much.

PictPocket Cinema plays QuickTime files, but if you're after a player that handles MP4's, BetaPlayer can do that.

I'm not sure, but I think that Platform4 player is the only freeware player that plays .m4r and some other formats which (once again, I am not sure) that Betaplayer is unable to play. However, one of my friends who is using it complained that the quality is very poor.

There is a chart on which players play which files. It might be useful for you. And if you find changes, I'd love to hear about them!

... also is the compatibility. In general, I've found BetaPlayer more compatible with a lot of video files I've thrown it at.
