Ive transfered mp3 video files over to my XDA II but media player wont play them why? Is there a file size limit?
I have transferred audio mp3 over with no problem
well maybe windows mediaplayer dont like the bit pr secund rate of those mp3's ms dont really like mp3 and like to push their own format which is wma
i would try winampaq or some other free player and see if it play more nicely otherwise try different bitrates or maybe another codec
in cdex you can choose between a few mp3 encoders
Video MP3 file? I don't think so.... :wink:
Windows Media Player will play wma, mp3 for audio and wmv and avi (possibly others too) for video, the bitrates and resolution size you use are important for quality of picture and quality of playback.
Use Windows Media Encoder for a nice little batch of tools, if you use Windows XP, then you can also use the windows movie maker which can export movies straight to pocketpc format.
Cheerio
if he mean video and in mpg and not mp3 then
pockettv and pocketmvp are pretty good mpg players

Is it possible to download codecs from the internet for your pocket pc just like your home pc, as some video files i have copied onto my xda ii will not play, if so what is the best site to get these from?
Thankyou, as always!
Whats file types are you using.
Pocket TV plays MPEG's very nicely.
Also try MVP for other types including XviD's.
You will have to Google for them as I don't have the adresses
I use this DivX player (Mpeg4), don't know if it works with WM player.
Is that the codec Bob?
Yes, it is.
I compressed .avi file using DivX ;-) MPEG4 Fast/Low-Motion with Hero Video Convert and was able to play it on my MDA
but having the codec will not make mediaplayer play anything but
ms's own formats plus mp3
to play anything else mediawise you need 3th party players
If you need to play divx you should try BetaPlayer at http://beta.topcat.hu/ , it's amazing how fast the decoding is, I can see no differences with a divx played on a PC (feeding it with a 320x240 movie of course)..
Yes BetaPlayer is pretty good : very stable with good decoding capabilities definitely the way to go to read Mpeg4 on your PPC
Then film clips I take with my XDA II are in mp4 format. I want to view them on my desktop computer. Windows media doesn't not recognise mp4. I have used Quicktime (I think) in the past but didn't like it. What is recommended to play mp4 videos? Or how can I get Windows Media to play it, if possible?
try looking here

u can play real and quicktime files from Windows Media Player if u install the Real Alternatine and Quicktime Alternative :wink:
what's the best application to watch video on the wizard...? I've been converting avi videos to 3gp with total video and it's been working, but is there anything for WM6 that will play avi files...? converting them to 3gp is great for saving space (converting an avi video to 3gp makes it roughly 1/10th the original size), but the video quality is pretty bad...
TCPMP works great, google it.
thanks, I'll do that...
TCPMP
Here you go...
thanks MACkjam...
i like tcpmp the best, but you can also use win media on your phnoe and get the video on there by using windows media convertor, a free download on microsoft.com as long as you have a legit copy of windows on your pc.
I've been using total video converter and converting them to mp4 files, they play on the WM6 media player...
to save space, I used 3gp format, but the quality of the video is horrible...
Google this: pocket divx encoder
Enjoy. Its the best
Here you go for PocketDivxEncoder...
Works like a charm..
pocket divx converter likes to crash on windows vista...
Quick question
I need to put some video files on my wizard but i cannot remember for the life of me what i need to convert them to play
depend on the player if you wanna play it on windows media player
ms's free encoder to make it wmv would prob be the way to go
Cheers
pocketdivxencoder usually works pretty good for me and running tcmp to play the avi files works pretty well for me
Just download SUPER. It does most video formats, and most audio formats (though sadly, not FLAC, I just discovered...) It is, however, free, easy to use, and pretty quick about it.
Direct link to windows installer: http://www.erightsoft.info/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe
P.S. Your phone likes it best when things are optimized for viewing upon its screen. Generally, that means AVI format, MPEG-4 codec, mp3 audio, scale video size to 320/240. SUPER has a default setup called avi (for Pocket PC) that makes it pretty well idiot-proof. Not to discourage any idiots out there from trying....
Hi
Are there someone recommend softwares for converting MPEG video file into MP4 that can play in Athena WMP 10?
I tried ImTOO converter but my Athena says it doesn't support that file. I have old MP4 files that are able to play in WMP 10.
Thanks
Felcus
install TCPMP and the codec pack then you will be able to play any MP4's !
where to download?
google is your friend ! start with just TCPMP and if that does not work add the codec pack, the codec pack can be a little harder to find so I will up it for you.
Video recorded on HTC touch cannot view on Windows Media PLayer
HI,
can anyone help? I recorded some movie on HTC Touch and when i copied the file to my PC, I can view it on Windows Media Player 11. How can i solve this?
Do you mean you can't view it?
What type of file is it? MP4, 3gp, avi?
Id recommend VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ on the PC for viewing most video files. Its free, lightweight and just works.

I dont know why you did not start your own thread on this but try installing something that can play 3gp files like quicktime
Windows Media Player supports only certain type of Codec. To make WMP support MP4 format, you should install filters for MP4 format and its associated codecs. After you installing these filters, all players that use DirectShow technology, include WMP, will support MP4 format.
Install the following codecs to have a try.
Elecard MPEG-4 Codec Pack
If you can't install or still can't play MP4 in WMP, converting your MP4 to WMP natively supported WMV or AVI format with Faasoft Video Converter is the best choise.
