Hey, i currently have a PDA2K and was wondering if there are any possibilities of installing extra video drivers.

The reason I say this is, I currently have Betaplayer installed and my ATI driver does not seem to work due an "out of video memory" msg that appears when i play my avi files.
When i use the other video drivers the avi files seems to get stuck every few mins.

Any idea guys??

In BetaPlayer Options:
ATI Imageon/Disable ATI Bitmap Caching

I think the real problem is you are trying to play a high resolution video on your PPC... I had the same problem when I first got my 1GB SD-Card and put a 700MB DivX on that... Because those DivX files (which are encoded for real PCs) have higher resolutions (bigger than 320x240 - the resolution of QVGA PPC - PDA2k is one of them) and bitrates need more video memory which you can't benefit from a video driver upgrade (if any newer driver is available anyway)...
###{I may not be accurate about the lines above, these are my generalizations from my experiences}###

You should use PocketDivXEncoder (http://divx.ppccool.com) for converting your DivX files to be playable on PPC, it doesn't take long comparing to ripping a DVD to DivX...

I hope this would help you and any others having the same problem...
