I just got my 6GB Hitachi Microdrive today, and I am in heaven. But whats with the Microdrive Mode in Betaplayer?

What is the 16000 KB buffer size do? Has anyone noticed a difference, increasing or decreasing it? If you are playing a 700 MB file should the buffer size be bigger? Is bigger buffer better

!?

Microdrive starts at 10%. Okay I am really lost there. I am assuming 10% is low rotation speed when Betaplayer opens. Will increasing this be any better for high res video?

I definately have noticed that I can't get high res video to play as smoothly running the Axim at 208Mhz, with this new beautiful microdrive. Before I used a 32x Lexar SD card and high res divx's played pretty damb fast. What suggestions would any of you have that would give me to get the best video playback possible, for the lowest Mhz?

And keep in mind, I have no problem changing settings around to make it perfect, even if I have to do it for different size or res files.
