Playing video problem

Hi, I am new owner of an Axim, and I am having a problem playing a video file on it. I am using Media Player 8.5 and I am attempting to view a .wmv file. the file is a 'BMW Film' that I downloaded off the net. this file plays fine on my computer using Media player, but on the Axim it doesnt show the whole screen, only about half, and sometimes it skips frames and freezes images. Can anyone help me out ? Thanks alot !

PS - this file is NOT encoded for the Axim, so if it needs to be, I could use some advice on how to do that. Thank you !

Those BMW Films are way too much for a Pocket PC to deal with. If it's already a .wmv I'd suggest running it through Windows Movie Maker 2 (if you have WinXP) or Windows Media Encoder to adjust the screen/bitrate to something a PPC can deal with.
