Thanks Racer X, but I'm just having fun. This is my first weekend with my Axim, so I am just trying all the cool stuff it can do. :) (Just put PocketQuack on last night too. Pretty cool, if not a tad bit slow,like 9 FPS. It is playable though.)

I have downloaded quite a few mpegs from www.pocketmovies.net and played them with PocketTV. The moves with good quality framerates and sound all seem to be ~2-3MB per minute. Although, I have read about people getting pretty good video with mono, so-so quality, audio at just over 1MB per minute. I really wish 1GB CF card were under 100.00. I have a 256MB CF and a 128MB SD card. If I want to have a good qaulity encoding of a 2 hour long movie I am looking at a file that won't even fit on my 256MB CF card. Maybe I'll get a 512 when they are down to 100.00.

Does anyone use a memory card reader connected direct to the PC? Are the data transfer rates any better than writing to the cards while they are in the Axim connected via USB?
