After trying countless ways to convert DVD rips into a watchable WMV file on my pocket PC I've found a FREE program that allows me to watch DivX files AND a converting program that makes conversion between the VOB files and DivX absolutely painless.

I'm now in the process of ripping the first season of Scrubs for conversion :cookie:

Use BetaPlayer if you aren't already. Very good. And using VirtualDub, you can get files to about 30 MB that still look fantastic on a PPC.

Nice :) I've used that for several months and it's the best. Watched a hella lot of anime. PocketTV is good too, but only for MPEG's :(

i think the best lightweight program for windows media player on DESKTOP PCs is mplayer classic (search the internets for mplayerc.exe). it's awesome and is so much less of a hog than all those other programs. plus, it will play a lot of files that the later WMP files may not be able to play.
