I don't know if this has ever been done before but, here is what I was thinking:

Streaming DVD playback via Bluetooth.

Here’s how I think it MAY be possible. I know it's possible to stream TV.

> Find a program that can capture a selected area of my PC screen that's playing the DVD, at the same time compress it to a resolution, frame rate and format that my pocket pc would be able to handle. Then stream it simultaneously via Bluetooth - somehow. The advantages should be that I wouldn't have to try and conserve space by reducing quality, file sizes, frame rates and sound quality.

Crazier yet - Steaming DVD PLAYER for PPC.

Maybe this is physically beyond the Bluetooth limits, which I think is capped at - what (total, total, TOTAL guess: 1MB / sec, but maybe WiFi?

I guess this "DVD Player" would access my home computer>it's physical DVD player and stream its actual VOB and all the necessary DVD files to my PPC which would then play it like normal. Of course that would take ALOT of power and battery life probably.

Advantages: Both methods should really cut back on the time it takes to encode and transfer to card. Why not skip both steps?
