Mobility Site - View Single Post - Has anyone been able to play a 640x480 WMV9 video with an X50v?

I have come to the same conclusion. I looked at some sample Divx files and I laughed at how poor they were compared to what can be achieved with WMV. The real kicker though is that it looks like 640x480 quality VBR wmv files are just too much for the X50v to handle. I couldn’t get the Axim to reliably play and of my 640x480 files. As you go down in resolution it plays better but it sure would be nice to get the 640x480 ones to play. I tried setting my X50v to 624 Mhz and I closed all other apps but it still could not process it fast enough. Are there any other settings that I could change that might help the video decoding in Windows Media Player? Are there any video playback options for the X50v? I tried copying the files to the X50v and they played much better than off of the memory card but I will need more storage space than what is available onboard.
