DVD2PPC or Pocket DVD Studio

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

mate, I replied to the other post here.

One question, forgive my ignorance, what type of card is a cf card?

I use a generic 256 SD card which works fine!
USB2.0 cradle, bluetooth, WiFi, IR provide all the connectivity that I need!


You may want to check out card compatability issues if you have not already,
I have had problems in this area in the past, (Toshiba laptop only accepts
Panasonic SD cards in my case) although its not as bad as finding storage
media that works!
I have a pile half a metre high!@!#$@@!@!

Good Luck Mate!

thanks for the reply, i didnt see your other reply, i must have missed
it
a cf card is a compact flash card
its a little bigger than the sd cards but quite a bit cheaper, thats
why i bought it
my HP2210 accepts both sd and cf cards and both work ok
i'm gonna have another go this weekend to get either of them working
thanks
