i have read somewhere that if one uses the "Movie Player" and "Audio Player" application from the UX-series, and copies it into the NX-series (NX80V/NX73V), then it would be possible to DIRECTLY access MQV files, MP3 files, respectively from the CF slot

is this true?

if so... then what do you have to say about my idea below:

1. i use my OLD 128MB memstick and the Clie video recorder to record primetime TV programs (about an hour long)
2. i come home late at night, and transfer the recorded TV program from the 128MB memstick say to a 1GB CF card
3. delete/clear-up/whatever the memstick and program it for the next day's TV program
4. bring the 1GB CF to work, and watch last night's show during commute
5. come home again that night - and it repeats all-over

in this way:

1. i could save much more money than having to spend a fortune on a 1GB memstick
2. since i come home late at night, the necessity of having TWO high-capacity memstick is not needed anymore
* the TWO memory sticks are needed because i need one to record, and another one to view... because the shows i usually want to watch are 7pm, while i come home around 10pm

------------

however, this would only work if the 1GB CF is directly readable from the clie movie player app

ALSO - if this is true, can anyone provide me (or at least point me to a link) where i can download the UX-series' PRC files [for the "Audio Player" and "Movie Player" apps]


THANKS A TRILLION
