Since I couldn't afford the 1GB cards when I bought mine, I only got a 256MB SD card and 'inherited' the 128 MB card from my digital camera that took a dive on me recently.

I don't have an X50v, but I do have an X50-mid. I just did a rip of Spaceballs @ 200MB that doesn't look too bad. However, it's set so that it's only 320 pixels wide, which is smaller than you'll be using on yours, if you go 640x480.

One thing I have learned in ripping a lot of my DVD collection to CD (kids and disney movies should never be allowed in the same room), is that TV resolution isn't much higher than 320x240 (it's something like 352x288 for Video CD's). So, you can get away with killing 2 birds using one stone. Make your rips at 352x288 and you can burn off a backup DVD (you have to make it a MPG file, though), as well as compress that MPEG to DivX or Xvid, or whatever, and put it on the Ax.
