I just ripped a video clip from a DVD to my Axim x30. The clip looks ok on the axim, but not as good as I had hoped. So, I was wondering if there is anywhere I can download a small (high quality- around 10 mb) video clip to put on my axim to see if I am just loosing quality in the way I encoded my clip.

Thanks,

Ian

Here is some samples for you http://bigdsvideo.tripod.com/id9.html Just click on the images and download to your PC and unzip then copy them to your Axim. These were encoded using the settings in my Divx Encoding guide found in the navigation bar.

Thanks for the link. I used that guide to record some DVD's. It's better than the one on this site, IMO. <-haha, I havn't had a chance to ue that acronym yet.

Well thanks for the compliment, glad you got some use out of it.

I have a question; when I tried to raise the bitrate in the DivX codec properties box higher than 270 kbps, it would not play on my axim. I want to be able to put a nice high quality clip on my axim (since the clip wouldn't be very long, size of the file wouldn't be a problem- well, within reason of course) ANy suggestions?

Are you trying to change the bitrate in VirtualDub or the DVDx program ? One thing to check is that by default the divx codec is set to use the profile settings. You need to uncheck that option in order to make bitrate changes in the divx configuration.
