Has any one used this SanDisk DVR to make video
that plays on a Pocket PC?

There is a PAL version , as well.

It sounds like it could be a quick and easy way to create
SD chips with movies or TV shows on them. Instead of
having to transcode to my PDA's video size and resolution
requirements, this box could capture directly to what I
would need, and do it onto an SD card that would plug
into my PDA.

The formats listed should play well using the CorePlayer,
perhaps even the free version.

Most of the video sources that I have still have Composite
outputs, as well as the newer and higher resolution outputs.
I'm not sure, but I think that on some equipment, the
composite output remains active even while the other HD
outputs are being used. If it records at 3.5 hours per GB,
you could put 14 hours of TV on a 4GB SD card, or
maybe 6 DVDs.

This could make acquiring usable video fare for
mobile devices a snap.

SanDisk seems a reliable company in the flash memory
marketplace. Has anyone tried it out?

Luck;

As it uses MPEG-4 Simple Profile H.263, it most probably (I'd say,
99%) can be played back with CorePlayer. (Nervetheless, this format
isn't the best, quality-wise.)
