2) do the movies need to be compressed first?
3) how much space does an uncompressed and compressed movie take up?
4) how many movies would i be able to save to an 8gb card (apparently this is the largest size the n810 will accept)?
5) have i missed anything?
all help greatly appreciated. cheers!
There is some debate as to parameters to set to convert the video (look around here, and the wiki), but I can tell you that in windows, MediaCoder is the best program I've found.

http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/editions.html

Much better than any of the programs listed on the wiki.

Hope it helps!
