I'm no expert; I've just been using fibrizio's guides myself.

I think your problem may be that you're just doing the first step: using FlasK to convert DVDs to AVI. You then should use the second guide to compress the AVI for your Axim.

For instance, I ripped a 3 hour movie -- AVI created was 3.5GB.
Then used second guide to use VirtualDub to rotate, decimate, etc. Final result was a 270MB AVI file which plays beautifully on my Axim.

Ripping on my system only takes about half as long as yours seems to be taking, but that may be due to processor speed (I'm using a 2.4GHz Pentium).

Hope I haven't mis-interpretted your post. Regards,

gaffer
