Movies on Pocket PC

[KruseLudsMobile]

I'd really like to start using my PPC to watch movies while commuting. I mean current movies that people can now rent, not ancient stuff. The only problem is, the expense and hassle! It stops me from even trying. I mean, first you have to buy a movie DVD for $12-14, then buy and install software to convert it to something that can be seen on the PPC, then copy to my 3GB SDIO Card.

So, it costs me 2 hours of setup hassle and $12+ to enjoy a movie on my PPC???? What the heck ?!(*()*OJ&^&%!&$

I cannot even find any decent amount of material on the web with regards to other people that do this. Does anyone have any ideas? How do people do this - and what is the easiest least expensive way to do it?

Yeah, TCPMP is good.

You can copy downloaded tv straight to an SD card and watch it.

I usually stick a few 350mb avi eps onto my SD and watch them on the train. They play flawlessly.

Just make sure you increase the buffer size in TCPMP and turn the backlight down a bit otherwise your battery'll run out fast.
