><br></blockquote><div>I don't know about the streaming part, but if you want to transcode them and copy them onto a CF or SD card look at:<br> <br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Transcoding_for_the_PDA">http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Transcoding_for_the_PDA</a></div>
</div><br>I originally setup transcoding for the Axim X5 and it works great. I later upgraded to the Axim x51V and last year to the Ipod Touch. All of these are great for video.<br><br>Even if you got streaming working I would be worried about battery life. My original Axim would run about 1 1/2 hours on wireless before the battery would be drained.<br>
