Mobility Site - View Single Post - 4GB Card on the way

Hey,

I just purchased a 4GB hitachi Microdrive, and am waiting on a good deal to buy an X51v.

I've heard the X51v + TCMP can do pretty much anything, but my question is can it play the standard 700MB (640x480ish) type of DivX movies that are around, or will I still need to encode them into something smaller? What is the frame rate on these type of files, and will they play okay off a CompactFlash card?

Also - with Lathe being only $4, I was contemplating buying lathe instead of using PocketDivxEncoder - is it worth the extra money for lathe? or is there anything better about it than PocketDivXEncoder.

Thanks,
Travis
