I know nothing about these things,I just have 1 question. Will these things hold a complete movie? This might be a nice thing for long bus rides to work.Thank you.

That's one hell of a bus ride! Yes they can hold complete movies but then again so can a Sony PSP on memory stick.

Aye, they can, but when choosing a PMP (Portable Media Player), you have to look at the bigger picture.

For example, battery life. My iPod, for example, will hold a complete movie; in fact, I could even put fifty on there with plenty of space to spare. However, if the movie is longer than about 90 minutes, then my battery is unlikely to endure the full length. So if you are looking to watch full length movies, you have to look at battery consumption as well as HDD capacity ;-)

Dang it,now you went and got me interested in these things.Since I couldn't get through a whole movie but could get through maybe a tv show or two,is this a reasonable request of these machines? Would I be chargeing the battery everyday? The programs for converting video to the format of these machines,do they work for tv programs? Could I have a file in my computer full of converted half hour tv shows ready to be loaded in as needed? I need to start reading about these,they aren't cheap.

What do you think? just j/k Seriously it would be wise to. If you only use it for the 1/2hr or 1hr (ride home) a day and thats it, then you can probably get away with it for a few days. I always have my stuff on the charger.
