I have 3 2Gb SD cards that I use for storing and playing Movies and TV shows. This works fine for me except for the need to change cards a lot. I am thinking of getting an 8GB CF card in order minimize wear and tear on my X51v and the cards themselves.
The question is can I successfully play movies directly from a CF card? I was thinking of a scandisk ultra II. I have found no posts that specifically say you can.
Also, I would be interested in the transfer rate using a card reader.
in general a card reader is MUCH more efficient moving data to and from vs. using it in the PPC while synced.
Most of the newer (and older) have faster access times than the PPC can utilize, so the PPC is the speed bottleneck, not the card. Your only real concern is battery cost

Movies do not need high data transfer. VHS quality or something like true VGA quality movie file will have 2Mbit/sec max. Your simplest CF or SD card will have 2.4MB (19.2Mbit/sec) transfer (16x). So you will have no problem watching ripped or downloaded divx movies or your own converted wmv files from CF.

Have you been satisified with that card?
Reason being is i seen it for $57 on newegg and its getting 5/5 there. I really want to upgrade my 256mb (looks at sig) I need some space, and this looks good. Its not a microdrive, right?

My 8GB CF card is not a microdrive. I've been very quite pleased with it. I think Transcend makes a couple of different 8 GB CF cards, so here's a link to the one I bought:

I use the 8gb A-Data Turbo Compact Flash 120x, which I got for around $70 last spring (unfortunately cannot recall the web merchant), but it works great, I highly recommend it, holds lots of video and mp3's. I see now where A-Data recently is selling at discount a 16gb CF Card (I believe under $100), but I have no experience with this product.
