...extra gigabytes come in handy for video, too. A media converter program that accompanies the player automatically reformats all kinds of video files so that they look decent on the Sansa. I loaded up AVI, QuickTime MOV and WMV files, in addition to several different types of MPEG video, and the system didn't balk at any of it. I even loaded a full-length feature film - Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle - and though the system divided it up into small chapters, I could watch the whole movie.

...users will be happy to know that the HD1?s MPEG-4 video files are compatible with the latest version of iMovie HD.

...Techier still, there's printing from video, where you put a memory card with video into the slot, pick a frame then print. Only trouble is, it only does Motion JPEG and MPEG-1 files, not the more common MPEG-2, QuickTime MOV and Windows Media Video formats. The only thing that hung me up about the printer was that it never seemed to know, automatically, where its paper was coming from. If you print directly without a PC, you have to choose the paper tray you want, even if you're clearly printing 4x6 photographs...
...save videos in MPEG-2 for editing, so even people with camcorders and video editing software might want to count this as an option for, say, shooting in a hazardous environment, or when your camcorder isn't available...
