Useful Tip
- The movie player now supports a bookmark feature that allows you to resume a video that you have stopped during playback. Upon reloading the video you will be asked if you wish to resume playback at the point where you stopped.
- You can resize your videos using Wildelnab's PocketDivXEncoder, a usefull tool for saving space on the SD card and highly recommended by the members of the GP2X community. Unfortunately it's a Windows only application. Linux users may want to look into Avidemux or Mencoder.
