Hi everyone,

I'm planning on creating some video content for pocket pcs (I have an Axim x51v) and was wondering what the best format would be that meets the following criteria:

- decent visual/audio quality
- reasonable filesize
- most compatible across WM5 handhelds

What resolution and codec should I be using where people will not have any problems viewing the video?

Thanks!

XviD/DivX is probably the best for this - pretty much everyone supports this, and you don't need to purchase extra software. Quality's decent, and filesizes are reasonable... and with our Axims, there's hardware acceleration of the decoding. Probably 320x240's the safest 'size' for encoding; any higher and non-VGA devices will have a fit, and any lower and the video quality'll suffer.

If you want to be REALLY conservative, you could go 240x240 for the square-screen people...
