I thought I would venture out and try to rip a DVD to my Axim. I followed the steps found in this helpful link;

Being new to this....using "Shrink DVD" and "PocketDiviXEncoder" it was pretty straight forward converting to an AVI file. I even tested it on my PC and it worked like a charm.

The trouble is, once I copied it over to my Axim (onto the SD card) I couldn't get it to play on the Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. The message says "the file format is invalid".

Is there a way to get the Media Player to recognize an avi file or should I be using a different player......or have I just missed something altogether.

Thanks in advance for any help.
