Hi

I am new to the PDA world as I have just bought an Ipaq h2210. What I would like to know if any of you can help me is that I heard it is possible to watch full movies on a PDA.

Is it possible and how can you do this.

Thanks

The main problem is file storage

In my experience a 256 mb card can store up to a 2 hours movie with some sacrifices (ex: no stereo sound).

Of course, you can get a 512 mb card if you can aford it.

About how to get the files, you can easily rip the files of a dvd or vcd if you own the movie on those formats.

Or you can downlad the file using kazaa or I-mesh... BUT IS ILLEGAL.

Why not try DivX? I use it for compressing movies to play on my laptop when I travel. I compressed a half hour of video to the size of an iPAQ screen once to see if it would work and it did.

Interesting... What program you use to encode the movie?
