Ok, I know the GPMP DivX news is sorta old but I never got to understanding how you could make your own high quality AVI file using 10fps and just rename it to gundamOP.avi and put it in the GP:\ directory. I tried this a couple of times and my own AVI files never seemed to play correctly. Could somebody please help me with this?

I use MoviePark and re-encode using Virtual Dub. If you use these along with the VD Document for MoviePark you'll have less problems. I've done around 5 Div-X files so far which work perfect on my GP32.
MoviePark only cost me £3.50 from the Entware web site.

Yes Demonix, MoviePark does seem the best way to go for movies on the GP32.
Here`s a link to one of the Virtual Dub divx guides

Hope this helps

Um, just to let you all know now, I ask this question because this media player is BETTER than MoviePark 
(its true!! 15-20fps svcd qual with 128kbps sound) so if ANYONE knows the solution to my problem and DOESN'T include MoviePark (as i have it and it is good but i am greedy and want better quality vids ) please post here! thx!

The guy may be refering to zardozjones' gpdivx. From what I've read in the release notes, the fps is as good as the guy says, but I also read that it doesnt work with sound at the moment. Given that gpdivx was a prealpha release, I'm not sure if this project is still being worked on or not. If sound could be incorperated with the video while maintaining the fps, it would be a dream...

Right... Firstly, to avoid confusions further, there's 3 players out there - the first one was Zardoz's GpDivx which suposedly doesn't have sound. Actually, it does, but you have to encode uncompressed and at the lowest quality possible (1kbs/8Kbit mono). It also has massive fluctuations in framerate, although on a good day, it's a LOT better than either of the other two (15-20fps ish, but at awkward bits it drops to 8). Unfortunately, that means its very hard to get a constant rate out of it. Which is annoying.
Secondly, there is Moviepark. You've got to buy it, but its a great piece of software. Plays stuff at 10fps and no more and 22KHz sound MP3, or something like that. But with a bit of work, the stuff playing on it looks fine, and decimation stops too much jutteryness. I think it's got a filesize limit of 30 megs, but since its also got a file selector, that's no problem.
Finally, and most recently, there's GPMP, which is supposed to be a demo. This means several things - firstly, no file selector, which is all well and good because we can rename whatever to GundamOP.avi . Secondly, and far far more frustratingly, its got a maximum file length of 6minutes 30 seconds, so its OK for music vids, but for a movie, you have to split it into ludicrously small chunks and then use GPFM to move them about a lot.
Now that everyone knows what all the players ARE, how to encode for GPMP was the question was it not? Well, I was just breaking by teeth on Virtualdub at the time, so I used kind of bad methods, but everything works when you were using quality based encoding - although the quality had to be ludicrously low in order to get a decent file-size. I'm guessing Atrkid's moviepark encoding guide on faqs.gp32emu.com would help you though, since I managed to play quite a few moviepark files on it. Only thing is - don't use 2 pass encoding on it. Just crashes and is frustrating. Also, you can use a framerate of roughly up to 15fps if you want to - so its slightly less juttery. More importantly, you don't have to decimate a movie at 12.5fps down to just over 6fps in order to stop misalignment; you can just leave it alone.
But imho, whilst I worked with GPMP for quite some time, moviepark is quite a bit better. On account of it being too annoying to move about sections of a film every 5 minutes grrr.
