Digital Copy of Movies

What format do we use for the droidx when putting on our digtal copy?

Just sync it through Windows Media Player and it will set everything automatically.

Sorry I should have been more clear ... atleast the last time I did one it made me choose a windows format or iTouch-ish format ... so it would work on my music player but not my touch or visa versa ... so I didn't know which to choose to make sure it would work.

Here is the settings I use for my video files that works perfectly on device and being played on the TV through HDMI cable...   I also use DVD Catalyst 3 - DVD and Video to Windows Mobile from http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=797&platformId=30&productId...

MP4, FLV or 3GPP.

MP4 might be the most popular option.

FLV is available on Android 2.3 phones.

3GPP is a variant of MP4, low frame rate (about 15fps typical, higher than 15fps is rare, MP4 is between 24-30fps).

iphone video will be the correct format, MP4 is the best to choose from, WMV isnt supported and wont play on your Droid X without a 3rd party player.

Rock player (use free version) does a pretty good job playing most video formats.  I have a couple videos on my phone that are play just fine in AVI format with it.  And that's without me changing the file's display format, just a simple drag and drop through file viewer.  

I'm sure cropping it down will reduce the file size, but for me that's not an issue yet.

I didnt realize Rock Player offered a free version, what is the diffrence of free and pay version?  Also are they out of Beta now?  I like them but I could not do there pay version price..

I think they are out of beta now.  The free version just has a popup at the start that says "try, buy, cancel" and a Small semi-transparent "R" in the corner of the screen on playback
