You can type something descriptive into the name and description fields and save this as a custom template for easy future use, to store these settings.

Then let it do its thing!

I'm using CorePlayer, rather than the older TCPMP, and don't know if that will make a difference or not. Actually, I have the old TCPMP on my Palm TX - if I can find time, I'll copy one of those files to an SD card and see if it will plan them.

ETA - put one of these files on an SD Card on my TX, with TCPMP 0.66J2 - it played without error, but can't keep up with the frame rate, so it was pretty jerky in motion.

These files do not play correctly in Windows Media Player on the TP2 - funky video, if I remember right. I've tried so many permutations and combinations that I've lost track!

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, I'll have to try it this weekend. I did discover that with Quicktimes, you can just open them and use the Export for Web option, unchecking all output formats except for iPhone. Once it's done, the file is decent quality/resolution and plays nicely in Album or Media Player. My only problem with this is that I feel we should be able to take full advantage of the HD screen on this phone. Playing upscaled content seems like a lame solution.

what setting are you guys using in coreplay??? I'm not asking for the setting you rip your movies at, but the actual coreplayer settings
