Music Vids on my PDA

[Solarix]

Ok quick question. I have over 17gb of music vids (in mpeg format) on my system and I want to be able to view them on my PDA (not all of 'em of course) at a decent frame rate and sound quality. I used the "Windows Movie Maker" included in WinXP to take their size down to it's recommended PDA format and transfered em to me Casio E-125. Needless to say... it wasnt very good (2-3 fps and poor audio)

Well, I am in the market for a new device and I was going to purchase one of the new '02 devices. But after thinking about it and seeing how it won't be long before Xscale is available, I am having doubts.

Do you think it would be a dramtic difference in playing vids from a 206mhz PPC to a 400mhz one?

Xscale devices definitely will make a difference. Not only will the higher clock speed help, but they apparently have added multimedia instructions like desktop chipsets.

But you can still play video clips decently on your PPC now: Encode your videos into Divx format, which makes them high-quality but small file sizes, and use PocketDivx to play them on your PPC. Quality would be much better than Windows Media Player, trust me. And i think PocketDivx has just released a new version of the player with even better performance than before.
