I use Windows Movie Maker to convert from any supported movie format to
PocketPC format (there is an encoding profile included).

I copy hour long (133mb) television programs to my iPaq h2215 and
SanDisk 512mb CF card all the time. I use MovieMaker to convert the .AVI
to PocketPC size.

Use a card reader! A great invention and you will wonder how you ever lived
without one (especially if it's USB2.0)

What frame rate do you convert to? There is a setting of 30 fps that
always gives me problems. I use 24 fps, but I've heard that setting up a
custom profile at 15 fps works even better on a PocketPC.

I'm trying to convert files I recorded with a Pansonic DVR, copying them
from the DVR to my PC via a DVD-RAM drive. Good news, the player on the PC
handles the file just fine (the extension is .VOR). Bad news, Windows Media
Encoder doesn't recognize the file format. Anybody know where I can find a
codec for this, or some encoder that will work for taking .VOR files and
converting them to .WMV for viewing on a PocketPC? Thanks.
