quicktime on a Palm?

So I am intrigued by the new ipod and it's ability to play one of my favorite shows. (Lost) I was wondering if there was some way to download these shows using itunes and then get them to play on my Palm tungsten e2? I record the shows already with my computer and I know that I can take the show and shrink it down to fit already, but to be able to buy the show for 2 bucks would be worth it to save me the time and effort required to shrink the old way. Anyone know of any software etc.?

Just to update... I figured that 2 bucks was an ok amount to waste on an experiment so I downloaded an episode of lost from itunes. I tried to play the show using the tcpmp media player. It recognized the file but did not play it. Sooo... That means that either I need a converter to change the itunes format (.m4v) to a playable format (which is exactly what I didn't want to do I could just encode the show that I recorded on my computer anyway). or I need a player that will play .m4v files. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just to keep myself updated and in case anyone wants to know... After doing some research I found out that just like the itunes music files the new itunes movie files have been encrypted with drm. Using the fairplay technology. This makes the itunes movie files unplayable in everything but quick time 7.whatever and the new ipod. Sooo... Basically my plan sucks.

back to the drawing board I guess.
