I first bought DVD to Pocket PC, based on reviews at PocketPC Magazine, at the same time that I bought my Axim X30 (October).

I was impressed, but distressed at the occasional problems with the syncing between voice and video.

So I converted roughly 30 movies to .wmv format.

About that time, I began to read through a lot of Aximsite, learned about BetaPlayer, and found that .wmv files didn't work with BetaPlayer, but then learned about the use of DVD-Shrink and PocketDivXEncoder to make .avi movies.

So I deleted all the .wmv files, and began making .avi files.

The second format was superior, in my opinion, to the first format, running video on settings 10-12, and audio at setting 4.

24 movies were encoded in this format.

Today I tried converting another movei using Fair Use Wizard. It is much slower than either of the two above methods, but at a setting of 250 MB and audio at 80 kps, I feel that I've found the best option yet. Best video and good sound. Considering that the DVD is being compressed to 5% of its original size, it is outstanding overall, except for the time issue.

I turned the first video to the 90 degree setting, which oddly placed it UPSIDE DOWN in the normal BetaPlayer view. I'm re-encoding it now, without that option, and with audio at 75 kps.

I'll let you know what I think.

I'm getting tired of re-encoding these movies, however.

Does the registered copy of Fair Use Wizard allow for faster processing of these files?
