Cool. Thanks for sharing the tip. I downloaded the software and have created a movie file that I now want to watch on my x50. So, what software do I need to watch the file?

I am a totally newbie to PDA's and to PDA Media, so please tell me exactly what software and plugins I need and where to get them (specific links to the downloads would be awesome). Thanks for your help.

I've been using FU (Fair Use, that is!) for a little over a month. So far, I've been pleased with it. It tends to use a lot of resources, so if you don't have a very fast processor and a lot of RAM.....

I've been playing around with the settings to find the best combination for quality and size, but have not settled on specific settings yet. Might be nice if those who get a great result would post their settings.

tomdon · 12-18-04, 07:58 PM

It does take ages, but so does every other method out there

. I have not yet really played with any settings, all I have done is got a basic set up and told it to keep file size to under 500megs. The file it made looks nice , I have it on my 1GB SD card just waiting for christmas day.

Quite true! I've been transferring 44min eps from a TV series and have experimented with files in the 100-150Mb range. They're quite good. ACtually it only takes about an hour to convert each on my computer. Probably rather good compared with some methods.

Can't beat the cost either

I liked it enough to anty up the 10 euros for lifetime downloads of upgrades.
