I was just checking out this thread, and thought I would just put in my two cents on mm2, wmp9 and activesync. I used a good quality mpeg that was 176megs and ran it through mm1 which reduced it to a 120meg file and the quality was still fine, but unfortunatly at the time I couldn't view it on my ax because I didn't have enough space left on my cf card so I was just sitting on the file until last night after upgrading to mm2 I ran that same 120meg file back through mm2 and when it was all done the file was 78megs which I did now have room to install on my ax. I copied it through wmp9 and it only took 17minutes which I thought wasn't bad for time at all. I think wmp9 and mm2 are fantastic which by the way the movie and sound are still great on the ax in it's media player for an hour long movie.
