Just thought I would post this:

I used version 5.03 to put Resident Evil on my axim storage card. I did it at slightly the wrong res 340 as opposed to 320 width. The file size was just over half a gig. I used core player to watch and the result was fabulous :) It's free and it's easy...just remember to go to the configuration menu and find a drop down list, which states the file will be 29fps ntsc and change it to pal 25fps (otherwise you will get lipsync problems) and you're away!!! :approve:

FairUse Wizard will give you a great quality movie at a size small enough to fit on a 256MB card.

Give it a try.

I did but I got an error right at the end...perhaps I'll try again later, it takes an age to code though.

Does the free edition of Fairview only work with Divx? Each time I try the Xvid coding it comes up with a code not found error(something along the lines of xvid dll core not found)....

Hours of waiting just to see that is a little frustrating, any ideas

First, encode a short clip like a trailer until you get it set up right. Free Fairuse does Xvid fine (it's all I do) but you may need to install the Xvid codec as well.

Yep, thanks for that, works fine now. Recorded in roughly 500*270 res and Resident Evil came out at 700megs. What settings do you fellas recommend to get high quality viewing with much less file sizes?? :rolling:

I personally do 475 megs and force 640 width. Since I generally rip the letterbox format of most movies (in the 2:00-2:30 range), that is plenty (up to 1mbit/sec or more). Even full-screen it's not that bad.

Just experiment with a short video a little to see what you can tolerate. Remember to do the cropping if you use the letterbox video.
