The following screen shots were taken of Kinoma Player playing Mission Impossible 2 on a Palm Tungsten T. The movies were taken from a DVD using DVD-to-MPEG, and then converted to the Kinoma format using the Kinoma Producer software. The entire clip was 29 minutes and 18.3 seconds long.

I do not have a lot of experience with video playback on the Palm or the PC, but I wanted to show the possiblities available on the Palm Tungsten T using Kinoma's product. It was the one time I used the DVD-to-MPEG conversion software so that I could make something available to a user on a PalmInfocenter forum thread, so I am sure there are definite improvement opportunities for this process. In addition, there is a lot of software that handles this that probably would do a better job and use MPEG-4 instead of MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. I just used something that was straight-forward and easy to use.

Personally, my primary purpose for my TT is not audio/video playback, but I like the fact that I can still use it for such reasons. When considering all the different aspects of the decision (i.e. usability, reliability, compatibility, accessories, functionality, price, performance, portability, etc.,), I think the Palm Tungsten T is the clear winner.

As for converting MPEG/AVI/MOV files using Kinoma Producer, it is just a matter of selecting the files and hitting one button. Come back and download them to your Palm. It is an added step, but it works repeatedly well.
