Im having a lot of trouble with the movies, in fact im having nothing as i cant see any files i load.

Ok I put mpg 1 files into the memory stick it never showed up in the clie, then i put the file into the main memory of the handheld it never showed up, then i noticed a thread regarding making a folder called dcim i think then put another folder in that and then put the movie in it. Im running mac OS X but this seems to be a very longwinded way just to watch a movie, mind u i havent yet and im going mad please help someone.

Also setting up BT phone i have the Ericson T68i im from uk tried setting it up to the UX50, bearing in mind ive just sold my tungsten T which was a breeze to set up, it was a nightmare i was on the phone with orange for and hour and a half and they said youll have to phone sony in the end. Well anyway i did it myself but what a joke the machine is let down badly by sony software.

other than that i love it

Just use Image Converter. It will take care of naming the file and it will load the file in the correct folder on the memory stick.

Im using mac OS X so i dont have image converter

Place movie in Memory Stick Directory: /palm/programs/movieplayer/100mqv01.
You might need to rename the movie to something like MOV00001.MQV, MOV00002.MQV, etc..
I am new at this so I dont know if this will work but this works on my UX-50

Sadly it is long-winded on the Mac unless you've got Virtual PC and you can then use image converter.

If you can mount the stick on your Mac, create a new folder on the MS called DCIM and then within that folder a second folder called 101MSDCF, then drag your file into that 2nd folder. It will work if you have a properly encoded MPEG-1 file. Are you sure you've got a MPEG-1 file on your Mac? I know EyeTv rather unusually creates those files but Quicktime as standard doesn't have MPEG-1 so maybe it's the file you are using, just a thought ....

AND rename your Quicktime file as MOV00001.MOV....
