Welcome to PMC Movies!

Portable Media Centers and Pocket PCs both easily support full motion video content. There are limitations to the file sizes supported by both formats, so we simplify the process by delivering preformatted movies ready for immediate transfer to Portable Media Center and Pocket PC devices. Many of the movies you find here are public domain offerings available at higher resolution in MPEG-2 format from the Internet Archive. If you've ever tried downloading anything from the Internet Archive, you know the high quality files generally take many hours. We've done the downloading and converted them to a format ready for transfer to PMC devices. This format is also optimized for Pocket PCs with 320x240 resolution. DivX portable movies will be available soon, too.
