This is with a machine that is made more for business use then for media.
I am afraid that is NOT ALL that correct. Use VCURLs72, you can either stream or dl a copy and play the .avi on the fly without any re-encoding. There are over 100 - 200 clips per channel and makes over 7200+ clips. It would take weeks or months of 24 full time watching to watch them all , if you so desire. Admittedly, they are not ALL smooth, some are more jumpy than the others.

Another one is more of stream then dl copies, worldtv99, again, no re-encoding is needed.

I also own a Dell Axim and is beautifully/neatly wrapped in the box in the drawer ever since I owned a tablet years ago. BTW, I also use pocketTV to watch .divx on winMobile, only 50 50 chance it is working, re-encode is the way to go. That was also the time when pocketDIVX player started to emerge, I dl and installed and I remember, it never work. All info are 18 months old, though.


I think I watched a lot .avi on my tablet, from 770, N800 to N810. I spend at least 20 - 30 min a day, on the AudioVisual on the tablet, and I have yet to make even 1 re-encoding, so far.
