I am using Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum 4 to rip my dvd collection so I can watch videos on my Axim. There is a format option of Dell Axim X51v so that is what I use. The quality and sound is fantastic but the size for a 2 hour movie is around 800mb!! Does anyone else use this program and know of a better way to get excellent quality but a lot lower file size? Thanks

Maybe try a smaller bitrate when converting!.
I just tried some Xvids (Underworld Evolution from a website loaded with 150mb-200mb xvids/avi's for PDA's) for my x51v and they were approx 160+ mb -ish and although very pixelated on a PC, looked alot better on the axim VGA screen. I must say I would prefer a much better quality so I will look into doing a 400-500mb conversion and see what that is like.
Try the PC 'Tmpgenc Plus' which is at v3+ (i think).
You can alter bitrate and may other options etc (number of passes etc).
Maybe give that a go!!.....Just a thought
It would be handy to see a side by side comparison of various encoders/converters, etc using the same movie and same target filesize and comparing results.
I have a 2gb SD Card in my x51v at the moment and even at 500 mb, that would be approx 4 full movies (or 8 for 4gb). Thats alot of entertainment 'on the go'!!
Prob need a spare backup high cap battery or car charger.
