I use MediaCoder and encode videos to MP4, AAC(audio) and 320x240 15 fps .. and play them via TCPMP. Gets 700MB videos down to 250MB

im sorry but what is TCPMP? and i did switch it to 15 FPS but it was like kinda choppy..i guess u can say.

Its a pretty good player that has all the codecs (to decode your videos) also known as core player.

You need to disable direct draw and choose raw mode instead.. not sure if you can do in WM but you can in TCPMP.

I find if you sync through windows media player, it converts all videos to a quite smoothe playable wmv format that's the easiest way

any videos that work on ipods work fine without converting

and thats without syncing them onto the memory card
