So, in essence, you're suggesting that I duplicate hundreds of video files, thereby wasting dozens of gigabytes of disk space, just to compensate for the fact that the Treo needs about 20% more oomf in the CPU area. Thanks, but no thanks.
Any other ideas that don't require altering the original video files? BTW, in case anyone was going to suggest Kinoma, I just purchased the upgrade Kinoma player ($14.95) to see if it had better performance than TCPMP. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only does Kinoma Player 4 EX output about half the framerate (at best) that TCPMP does, it won't even handle Xvid files. That's the last time I let myself get suckered into buying commercialware without a demo first.
