I have installed the Divx and PMVP and have serious problems getting either to do more than the Rescoe picture viewer.
I hoped to get something that plays more formats (my camera saves in MOV file format, but Rescoe doesn't play those, so I thought I'd rather just get another player (rather than convert).

Divx quits and doesn't play ANYTHING.

PMVP plays MPG files and that is all it appears to play; I get warning that it doesn't like other files (AVIs and MOVs), so it doesn't play those (not sure if it is the files I have or how they are formatted).

Anyone have a better player suggestion?

I've been very happy with pocket TV. WWW.PocketTV.com

Its free (always makes me happy) and does a good job. I am sure you can find more expensive players.

Let me get this straight. You have both pocket Divx and Pocket MVP installed? I don't think they work together.

Follow Fibrizo's excellent instructions on how to re-encode many of your video's (pinned in the multimedia forum).

Many of the mpeg and avi files that play on your desktop have too high of a bitrate and wrong screen size. It's just too much for the apps to try to translate and run successfully. I followed the reencoding instructions and the video's run great now.

It will also make the files much smaller...memory-wise

I now have Pocket TV installed too. I was just trying to see if there was something I could do to show my little clips without having to learn a process of "re-encoding" them.

I guess it looks like I will need to since nothing plays about half the files I put on my Axim to test, and the other half are if-fy with other players. I even deleted a few clips that I just thought were bad because they locked up my Axim.

I'll get the instructions and re-encode the files I have, and see how those look. Then I will try the different players to pick the one I like best.

Thanks for all the advice, and help.
