I've done it on my treo 650. There is software for palm is called pocket dvd which compresses a dvd enough to fit on an SD card. I had the whole of War of the Worlds on a 128MB card. The bigger the card the less you have to compress and the better quality you get. It takes ages though about 3-4 hours. once compressed you can use you pda software to transfer the media to card as you would with anything else. You will also need a player that can play the video file in the format you have created and install on your pda. i'm not sure what software you would use for windows mobile. I think there is a windows pocket dvd though.:rolleyes:
