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
anyone know if WMP that we get on WM5 plays back DivX or XviD files natively?
if not is there a codec set compiled available online?
No you have to use a 3rd party player like TCPMP.
Actually WMP supports codecs, so you need to find appropriate Pocket-PC compiled codec for DivX and configure WMP to use it.
Another thing is change your DivX header to MS-MPEG4 and try to play that. This is not applicable to Xvid movies

It would probably be easier and better playback to use TCPMP anyway.
TCPMP is very, very good!
TCPMP ??!
If you install TCPMP, will it replace WM player ?? what will happen ??
absolutely not.
it's only another app.
bye
I have taken some video on the 7500 and copued the file to my Vista PC, it won't play. In my stupid world I assumed that Microsoft would have used a format on WM6 that could also be played natively by a Windows PC, am I asking too much.
Anyone got a simple (free) fix ?
install FFdshow (dated 03/01/2008) and haali media splitter (in that order) and you will be able to play just about every video file you come accross within windows media player !! if windows media player ever complains in future and says "I dont know this file type should I try to play it anyway" just say yes and it will play (if the above two files are installed)
The solution is simple: change the extension from .mp4 to .3gp
This will play with RealPlayer or QuickTime Player.

So it does, many thanks.
Does anybody know of any FREE software that will play Quicktime movies on my Wing? I have a movie of my nieces cheerleading competition I want to show off, but I didn't realize it was a .mov file and whats on my Wing won't play it... Thanks!

Try this. I use it to reduce the file size by reducing the resolution for my videos. The website says it will convert MOV files.

Not sure if TCPMP will play it, but you could always convert the quicktime file into another format.
I use http://www.zamzar.com to convert files to mp4 or 3gp that will play on my phone.
Hi
I have searched and RTFW.....but maybe I missed it somewhere.
Looking for a good player that will play FLV's on our device. Have tried youtubeplayer but I find that the timeline bar doesn't work so you can't fast forward through a vid.
Also it doesn't play all the FLV's I have.
Has anyone got any better solutions? I have tried TCPMP player with source forge FLV codec but it keeps crashing out :-(
Thanks and appreciate any help!
was gonna say tcpmp but you nixed that
Can you not convert flv into a nicer format?
I've found FLVs sometimes dont even work on desktop flvplayer for seeking or resizing - and that's down to the FLV file. only way to fix them is to play them through, or rebuild the stream....or convert to another better format.
I just think there are many crappy .flv files out there with lazy web-players.
If you are using a tool like dwhelper then get it to auto-convert on download to a sane format.
No issue for me with this TCPMP version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951
