I was just trying out video formats on my new VX9800 (I'm obssessed, really.). I found something that I think might be interesting to more than just me.

Archive.org provides videos (among many other things). One of the formats they provide these videos in is MPEG-4 with a .mp4 extension.

Well, the 256kb MPEG4 videos are at 320x240 and they play perfectly, without any conversion, on the VX9800! Just download, stick them on the card in the my_flix directly, stick the card in and play!

These are all legal and free downloads. And they play full screen!

Hey, you can even get some Superman 'toons.:

This is absolutely wonderful for content. There is a lot of old content as well as public content and user submitted content.
