Before you posted your instructions I had tried to capture a 10 minute Clifford cartoon at the lowest settings so it could be re-played on the Axim. My software produced a 60Mb file. That is just too big for only 10 minutes. The quality was really bad too.

Imagine my surprise to see your post the next day with detailed instructions and links to free software. I downloaded the files, installed them, and printed out your instructions.

I read in the untouched Clifford avi and re-encoded it using your method. It worked great. The file looks and sounds great and it only 13.1 Mb!

So at this point I was wondering about a few things.

First, I sometimes take long trips in my car with my two year old. I thought about getting one of those in dash tv/dvd combos until I saw they cost like $2000. Now I am thinking a dash mount bracket, Axim, cigarette lighter power cord, and memory card would be an acceptable alternative.

One thing that comes to mind is that I would need a bracket that could hold the Axim sideways. Is there such a thing?

Also, in your instructions you say to rotate the screen to the left 90 degrees which would make the power cable come out towards the driver of the car. So maybe I should rotate the movies in the other direction so my wife can deal with the Axim cord.

Finally, I use one of the cheapest solutions out there to suck video into my computer. It is a "Pinnacle Linx" cable. The Software it comes bundled with is Studio 7 SE and it is really limited. I would like to continue to use the hardware to suck in the video, but if there is a better program (freeware) out there that can do the work I'd like to know about it. Maybe virtualdub can be used? I have no idea.

I also re-encoded the original 24 minute black-and-white Zorro episode and that produced a 29.2Mb file.

Thanks again for your help getting started!
