I'm running Windows XP on my PC with Media PLayer 10. I found something somewhere stating that you can't do a drag and drop to move the AVI file onto the AXIM, that you have to use Media Player to sync the file using ActiveSync. So, I did that and it only created a 13KB file on the AXIM from a 474MB file from my PC. The PC file is good because I can play it on my PC's Media Player; but, that's as far as I get. Any thoughts as to what's wrong??

Hi Paul,
Im sorry to hear that your having trouble with getting movies on your axim. I reccommend trying a few things. One, that I highly reccomend is that you download the latest version of BetaPlayer, and because you have a X50v, you should get the i2700 Optimized Version, which you can get
here.
This program is wonderful for most types of media, and supports our codec version, which is .Xvid . So it is essential that you get that program (Its worth its KB in gold
) So now that we have a great media player, you I suggest that you get a Flash Card Reader. You can find these in every computer store and even most Superstores such as Walmart, Fred Meyer ect... Now this is not an absolute requirement, but I really suggest it, because sending a video to the X50v through Active Sync is going to take you hours. It is horribly slow. But if you find a Flash Memory Card Reader (Many come with multiple slots for both CF cards and SD cards) the process takes only a minute or two.
Once you plug in your SD or CF cards into your USB Flash Card Reader then go to my computer and locate the 'Removable Disk' icon for you memory card. From that point you can simply drag and drop a video file into your SD or CF card, then remove the SD/CF card and plug it into your Axim. Once it is in there, you can open up the Betaplayer program and navigate to your memory card where your movie is.
Hope This helps you! (P.S. I did get your E-mail)
