My first post! I just encoded my first pocketPC divx video clip. I have it 320x240 rotated so that I can view it full screen on pocketMVP. One thing that I have noticed is that pressing the button that looks like an 'X' seems to expand the picture to a bigger size so that I can't see maybe 3/4 of the rest of the picture.

Does this mean that 320x240 is larger than the screen, and thus encoding it at this size is a waste of space? What size do you suggest?

I think that is "zoom"...

Welcome aboard! This is a great place for sharing and learning.

I am very new to this and have on single purpose: to playback a video in the highest quality I can get on my Dell Axim 300hz with the best frame rate I can get. So withthat said which is the best player and encoder thatI should use?

Thanks!

this tool is a compilation containing all types of calculators you will need.
