I am always using my X50v for movies. I have the entire Firefly series, and the movie (Serenity) on my 2gb CF card.

I watch these and other movies while on the Express Bus. It sure beats balancing my laptop for an hour!

Each 1 hour episode came out between 62mb to 85mb, and the movie I got down to 167mb. At these sizes, the quality is very good except for very dark scenes, where it tends to get "blocky" (large areas where similar colors were blended together into one large block). I reduced the video on each to fit the 640x480 screen size, and rotated the image 90 degrees for landscape mode.

I just saw that Fry's Electronics has an ad that runs until tomorrow on 4gb SD and CF cards for just $109.99 each, with NO rebates. (Renton, WA Fry's Ad)

I am really thinking about one of each!
