Mobility Site - View Single Post - Converting iTunes video (TV shows) for Axim

11-15-05, 04:40 PM

G'day. This may be a dumb question; I just don't know enough about the various video formats. If I were to purchase from iTunes one of their $1.99 episodes of Lost, for instance, is there some software out there that I could use to convert the file to a format which would play on my Axim X50v?

I've given some thought to buying a new video iPod, but really the Axim has a much bigger screen, so why have two video-capable devices if the Axim will do it all?

On the recommendation in this forum thread on "How to Encode Videos for your PDA", I downloaded all the necessary software to encode DVDs and did my first one yesterday, using The Core Pocket Media Player (formerly Beta Player) to view the encoded movie. It looked great! :approve:

If one can't convert an iTunes video format, is there some other place to buy episodes of TV shows which will play on the Axim?
