My phone is a verizon xv6800, or the same as the att tilt or sprint mogul.
Runs windows mobile 6.0, and you just get the free divx player. I tried a
few other players and they weren't as good, but with the divx player, my
xvids play great. When I nuvexport my pvr-500's sd recordings, I use these
settings:

Variable bitrate = yes
Quant = 5, 6, or 7, all three work fine
Audio bitrate = 96 or 112, both work fine
Size, 640 x 480

I use mencoder or transcode to get the xvids. I've put 800mb or so movies on
the phone and they play great. The screen is only 320x240, but the reason I
put the 640x480 video files on it is cause that is what I put in my myth
videos folder. So basically, I just copy the videos straight from my
mythvideo folder onto my phone and just run with it. Really nice.
