On the Jam's specifications it mentions AAC as a suported (albeit optional) format. I can't seem to make it play my .m4a files (unprotected aac).
Any tips?

Built in AAC player in imate Jam
I called a few dealers of the iMate and asked them how to play AAC files on the iMate Jam as they say they can do in the specification. No one could help me.
After playing around...this is what you do....just change the file extension to "3gp". Now I can play the files in 'Album'. It you put them in a folder system within 'My Music' then you have created a playlist for the presentation mode of Album.
At least this saves me having to convert all of my iTunes files!

what is the link to betaplayer please help
BetaPlayer is the best player ever on PPC. After all, its FREE 8)

Hi All,
First post from a real novice. I have just got an xda 2 and am trying to copy a couple of movie clips from my pc to the mobile device.
Some copy and some do not. I have downloaded Pocket TV and
Pocket MVP and highlighted both, separately, when trying to copy in explorer. Every time I get an error message. This is the second half of one of the files I am trying to copy:
My Documents\Audi Pictures\hendrixTTad.mpeg.mpg
Appreciate any help in advance.
Have you tried playing them through the inbuilt windows media player version 9. What is the nature of the error, is it when you are copying the files ot attempting to play them?

When I am in Media Player (9) on my desk top in the 'Copy to CD or Device section' - I hit copy and it comes up 'An Error occurred' on the text of the file. It doesn’t even start to copy etc. The file plays perfectly well on the desktop media player.
Thanks
try to drag and drop the file using file explorer.

Nice one! I copied the file to my documents in the xda on my lap top and it worked.
Then when I went to Pocket TV it was there ready to go.
A couple of quick questions: 1) What is the quickest way to get to 'My Documents' on the xda 2?
Where exactly are these mpegs stored as I can only view them when I'm in Pocket TV?
Thanks again.
my advice is to use pockettv it's a better player then wmp9

I like pockettv, but it only seems to play mpegs. Is this the case?
It seems that I have to watch mpegs in Pockettv, Microsoft files in Media player and AVI's won't play in either. I got Pocket divx, but it won't play any file with sound. It keeps comming up with an audio error and invariably crashes. Am I doing something wrong here or is there a one for all solution?> Thanks.
Take care of the codecs used for audio / video
When you create files for the ppc, you have to make sure, that you use only codecs for the audio / video part, that are supported by the players / device.
Check http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda for a short "How to" guide about the creation of divx or WMV files for the pocket pc.
If your file cannot be played by the media player, just re-encode this like described on this page.
regards,

@ seamo
sounds to me like your running the ppc2002 version on ppc2003 mate
get the pocket mpv ppc2003 version works great
My voicemail-emails have attached GSM compressed wav files.
Of course that's good because uncompressed files would be much too large, but how can I playback those files?
Can I somehow download additional wav codecs for the pocketpc or is there a good player which can do it?
You only get those MP3 file players and nothing else...
I've tried BetaPlayer (pretty good divx player) which supports wav files, and I get the message "Audio Codec not found".
Problem solved
I just noticed that the WAV file was added to my pocket outlook notes since I put it in the My documents folder.
It can be played as an outlook note.
However, strange that pocket windows media player and other players don't support it.
windows media player dont support any non ms format apart from mp3
and this goes for both audio and video
dont know the format so i cant help i would prob search around for as many players i could using google looking for that feature if i were you
otherwise i suppose you can find a converter for the pc wihtout too much problems
Hi all,
how can I donload a free sw to convert audio (such as mp3, ogg ecc...) into WMA?
Get iTunes from Apple.com. Converts to any format you like and it's free. It's also an awesome replacement to Windows Media Player.
the best converter
the best is DBPowerAMP (www.dbpoweramp.com)
you can almost convert any sound file to almost other sound file of diferent class.
WAV to MP3, MP3 to WMA, WMA to AIFF, etc etc
You just download the main system and download the codecs for what you need to encode/decode.

itunes doesnt convert to wma. It converts to aac or m4a format
Use to default wmp10 to encode ur files
Sunny
You could use the newest Windows Media Player. Just connect your phone to your computer, and go into the WMP library and select the files you want WMA'd and Sync them. It will then convert and copy them to your phone automatically. Quite handy.
Of course.. Nothing can beat Microsoft.. WMP 10.. Amazing.. COnverts anything and improved features like selecting the quality in kbps and also converts video.. Simply amazing..
Only one issue, after synchronizing to yr mobile, wen u delete an item in mobile, it gets added again wen u connect again.. Maybe thers some option to make it delete in PC which i din find yet or WMP 11 will have it..
I tried power video converter for videos but WMP gave me the best clearity in the lowest size...!

(i have a cingular 8125 with a 2gb mini sd card) ok.. so i have the movie on my computer.. i have shrunk it to bout 800mb.. and it opens with quicktime.. quicktime doesn't have the right codec to play it therefor i downloaded VLC.. a program which supports it and will play the movie.. the aspect ratio is 320X240 but from here i don't know what to do.. i'm kinda new at this but would love to learn do i need to download any applications on my phone or will windows media player support it..
What you need is . . . . .
Pocket DivXEncoder : http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1224
and . . . .
TCPMP : http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Pocket DivXencoder allows you to convert the files and TCPMP allows you to play the files. Both are freeware. A 90 minute movie will come out at about 200Mb.
the movie is on my mac.. not my pc.. and i don't know how to get it off of it because the quciktime movie has to be opened with VLC for it to play
Welcome MacHead
Ahh....the trials and tribulatioins of us superior beings....
Well, to make this short, you basically have 3 options to choose from.
1. Use an adapter to transfer the files directly to the card. You will need 2 adapters actually. One for mini SD ->SD and another to connect SD-> USB. This is probably the easiest and most straight forward method
2. Get MissingSync for WindowsMobile. This option is only valid if you want to also sync playlists with iTunes and PIM information with iCal and Address Book. The reliability of large transfers is sketchy but I think it works very well on newer Macs.
3. "That's what you got wifi for" If you Mac is connected to a network that has a wireless access point somewhere on it. You can "download" the movie from you Mac over wifi. I have done this a few times to get around the sketchiness of MissingSync. You can also transfer the file from your Mac to your PC and use ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. I can give you more info. After you pick a specific option.
hahaha, I love how mac people have to use WINDOWS Mobile... Where is your Mac OS Mobile? Hmmmm....?
hahaha
how to transfer > 220MB file to MDA
hi,
just download the program and converted 1 movie to about 220mb. I used activeSync to transfer files to MDA. For some reason, it can't be synchronized. Can anyone let me know how to transfer it from pc to MDA.
Thanks
when dealing with big files you should go purchase a card reader makes it 10x easier...check out my site in the sig for videos, ringtones and more.
Or you can just get a program like Card Export II which lets your Wizard (8125) act like a thumb drive and you can just drag the file to your storage card.
I use Card Export II and it works great on my Macbook Pro.
Pocket DVD Studio:
It allows you to rip just about any DVD to any size. You can make Windows Media files or .AVI files (which I prefer). You make them in the range of 125m to 225megs and you can fit a dozen movies on a 2g chip.
For the .AVI, you'll have to get a CODEC file for your PC, but that's free (XviD 1.0), and you'll have to download a different player than WM, but BetaPlayer, that they also provided free, is a FAR nicer player than WM. You don't have playlists and transfers and all that nonsense. You simply open the file you want and play it. Also BetaPlayer will go to Landscape mode just by tapping the screen. I just found out they now call it: TCPMP (and I see they have it for SmartPhones--wonder if it will run on my Samsung D-820?)
It's at PQDVD.com.

I don't know...you need a different util to create .3gp files. They make one, but there's another called Super @ that is shareware. It's tricky to use but does work. You have to play with settings.
thanks.. i was wanting to put it on my card.. and then just play it from my phone.. but the mac won't play the avi file because it doesn't have the right codec.. so i have VLC on my mac and it will play on the mac.. and i don't know where to go from there.. if i put it on the card i didn't think windows media player would play it.. i don't know the step by step procedure.. i'm new at this so just call me blonde..

TCPMP will play .3gp just fine. I think that the WMP version on the Wizard may also play .3gp since you can save your cam movies in that format. .3gp is a mobile version of h.264 or actually I think its actual name is h.263. Anyway if you get QuicktimePro (look for a serial code online). You can encode/transcode just about anything into that format. Oddly enough it even works on files that Quicktime claims it can not play.

Cool, I used to use these files on my old P900 and they seemed to compres really well...have to experiment a bit....
Mac Vidoe Converting
we macusers rock, and u just need visualhub, it does the job in about 15 minutes, in any code in any size, and of course, use tcmp for watching it on your ppc.
go versiontracker and grab visualhub
drag and drop the file ( whatever ist is) into it, choose the output size and codec and click run, u can send it dircetly to your storage card by choosing the output folder.
Everytime i drag and drop my avi videos onto my storage card and try to play it (either in TCPMP of WMP), my phone says something about unknown file format. It normally works when I sync with WMP, but sometimes i lose the connection..? What can i do?

Sounds strange, could be a codec problem? Try turning off file conversion in ActiveSync

The problem may just be in TCPMP settings. Go to options/settings/file associations, and check the box by video (AVI)
ive tried both, and they only seem to play through syncing with WMP...is it because i just renamed them from .rmvb to .avi? the others i did this too work fine

Are you on WM6 or WM5 ?
On wm6, the wm9 codecs have different names....
Or other thing that can be, is your codecs used for creating those video
What software do you use to convert the videos ?
im in wm6. is that the problem? and if so, how can u fix it/downgrade back to wm5? and i use WMP to sync and convert, it used to work a while ago

I don't think that's the problem afterall.
The Windows Media Player should play those files that you can't play in tcmp
anyway the fix for missing wmv9 codecs :
I don't remember the link, but do a search on the forum and you'll find 2 codecs for wmw9 wich you have to copy in the windows folder
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
you mean the windows folder on my phone, right?
P.S. still wont work, just copied files into windows folder. not even TCPMP can play it, and u have to pay for the newer version . Shouldi just go back to WM5 so it's easier?
