I have a Dell Axim X50V PDA with a 512MB card. I want to put a compressed DVD file so I can watch it. I don’t care if its thru Windows Media or another program like DIVX. I would just like to know how to do it. ---

You can go to [www.download.com](http://www.download.com) and search for Dr. DIVX - it will be a limited time use program, but you should be able to shrink whatever movie file you want quite a bit. The program is easy to use :tup: ---

Yeah I was looking at Pocket DVD, just been to cheap to splurge. I wish there was some way to use Windows Media Player 10 to compress the file when I sync it with the handheld. There are different compression levels that is convienient depending on what storage I have available on the card. I have Windows Media Player and Pocket MVP installed on the Axim. I would like to use DVD Shrink to rip a DVD movie to one single file and then compress that to fit on the 640 x 480 resolution or whatever resolution it takes to fit on this card. ---
