Thank you. I works. But I don't like quicktime. I'd prefer WindowsMediaPlayer codec ;-((
And what else I'd like :
1) Tool to rotate video 90degrees
2) Tool to convert it into MPEG1 or MPEG2 to be able to create VideoCD or DVD
Any hint?

seek and thou shall find
also when it comes to mpeg2 to 1 or avi or what ever
there are TONS of tools which does these things
mpegable DS decoder
works in WindowsMediaPlayer so sound but its free

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
Checkout this FAQ: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/windowsmobile/faq.aspx
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.

Hi Folks,
I just took for the first time a video clip with my Magician today, and had the Camera settings to
Capture Mode: Video
Capture Format: MPEG-4
Capture Size: Large
it produced a nice video clip file with in the .mp4 format (lets not talk about the quality)
I copied this file over to my SD card, and from there to my PC to play here.
It played by default using Apple Quick Time (7.0.3), no probs.
I tried to open it with WMP10 on my PC, and only got the sound, not video.
I was assuming, that a video clip taken with a Microsoft product (Magician WM2003) would play by default using the Microsoft pendant on the PC (WMP10), and MS does not rely on a 3rd party software (QT).
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or if I'm just missing the right codec on my PC to play back the file ?
Thanks

Correct me if i'm wrong but i do believe the camera program on modern HTC devices (like the Magician) is made by HTC itself and not by MS. So it's possible it uses different kind of codecs.
MS isn't allowed to ship a lot of codec with WMP. Only some basic and MS-made codecs. So you have to rely on third party apps/codecs to play the .mp4 files.
Hello Torklemm
You can use the VLC Player to Play almost any type of media including the mp4 , 3gp etc etc .
here is the link to download it - h**p://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2194_4-10267151.html
You can also install the Nero Digital MPEG 4 AVC h.264 dshow decoder , after i installed this , my wmp ver 10 was able to play the Mp4 video files.
Cheers.

very useful decoder!
but only motion decoding not audio track.
i see only motion without sound.
Hmmm , That is Strange Vigor_ , I thought the audio recorded in the video format of Magician was either mp3 , wma or wav . . . all 3 being suported by wmp. Will have to check this Thanx.
It's none of those. The audio is AMR Narrowband, whatever the blazes that is! I've been having the same problem converting it. AMR doesn't seem to be supported by much.
mp4 format
You should use a plugin or converter program. For plugin Ulead video suite v9.0 is the best solution.For convert purpose I offer IMTOO program.Another way is using avi format instead of mp4
Where do you get that Nero Digital dshow decoder? A Link would be nice.

The same with me. I use ImTOO 3GP Video Converter 2.1.55.1107b, good stuff.
Where do you get that Nero Digital dshow decoder?

How to do it for free, though it's a ton of work
Okay, I've successfully done it now. My biggest problem was that imTOO 3gpp costs money, and I just couldn't justify spending the money on it.
There's probably a few different ways to do this, but here's how I've done it:
1) Separate the Video stream from the audio stream
I used Microsoft Graphedit for this. It comes in a Microsoft SDK, but if you google it, you can find it.
When you open graphedit and select render the file, you'll get a message saying that part of the stream isn't recognised. That's the AMR audio. That's step 2, so ignore. Assuming you've got an xvid mpeg 4 codec on your machine already (and I suspect also a 3ivx codec), a graph will show up starting with your video file and ending with a video renderer. Click on the video renderer, delete it, and click on the xvid decoder and delete it. Then add a filter called file writer to the video stream coming out of the 3ivx media splitter.
Run that and you have an xvid mpeg-4 video stream with no audio.
2) Separate the amr audio stream
I used Miksoft 3gp decoder for this. For some reason I couldn't do video with this tool, so I just clicked the "convert audio only" option. It gave me a PCM .avi file.
3) Mix the two together
I have used two programs for this, both locatable through google and both freeware. Virtualdub and TMPGENC.
Virtualdub is handy if you have to rotate the video stream. I don't think you can use virtualdub to finalize the video because the .avi sound file kicks up an error for me. But the video I wanted to convert was filmed on my JAM with it held lengthwise (aka 320x240), so when the file is normally viewed, you see it 240x320 and have to tilt your head.
I prefer to use TMPGENC and end up with an MPEG-1 file. Here's why...
You input the xvid video file as the video source, the .avi pcm audio as the audio source, under advanced, select "Full screen (keep aspect ratio)" instead of the "full screen" that is presented there, and then let her run. You end up with a video in mpeg-1 that is formated to 352x240 (NTSC vcr resolution), but with black stripes above and below so that the image isn't stretched or distorted, like it would be if you just went with "full screen". You can then convert that into an avi file with whatever software you want.
It's a ton of work to do, but for me, it was a better solution than spending another $30US on something I'd use minimally. I also do a fair bit of video work, so I had all the other tools and codecs handy.
Good luck!
Hi
I use apples Quicktime - pro can also convert to AVI's.

The way I did it was to get the K-lite codec pack. Google it and don't download any versions from places that try to charge you for it, it's free. Also be aware of dodgy sites that may include spyware/malware with it. I've been stung a couple of times.
Then nearly any freeware converter will work. You can also play them in WMP.
Errrr...yes, that would seem to be a "faster" way of doing it...
screen capture
hmmm, need help...can't seem to capture images (using the screen capture button) when playing mp4 files on the vlc player...i've imported the image on adobe photoshop but it was distorted...help?
this is for info in relation to the original post
I too could not play my mp4 videos on my PC with sound and tried all the various players and plugins but this link from last year worked

Which Video Plaer to be used with Atom Exec...TCPMP doesn't play anything..
wich wersion do you use?
tried .71 RC and 0.8
maby you need to install aditional codecs?
another way write the problem to author tcpmp...
after you install tcpmp with divx codec, your windows media player must play avi movie...
hi guys.
can you run TCPMP Program ( multimedia program, like core player ) on your devices ?
i tested some versions but they can't play anything, and the device hanged.
i wanna use it because it supports subtitles in movies.
so do you have any opinion about this ?!
I can run TCPMP on my neoTouch. But for playing videos must be set Video driver to GDI (or Raw FrameBuffer, but no DirectDraw).
Download:

what do you mean by """set Video driver to GDI (or Raw FrameBuffer, but no DirectDraw). """ ???
i dont understand ...
In the TCPMP go to Options -> Video
and here you can change Video Driver (DirectDraw, GDI, Raw FrameBuffer..). You must set GDI or Raw FrameBuffer.

WOOWWWWWWWW
tnx man , it works well :*
Best settings for TCPMP and Coreplayer sa well are: Options-Video-DirectDraw, Options-Settings-Page-DirectDraw-Overlay format YUY2-all the boxes below on the page unchecked. With these settings the video quality is brilliant. But choosing DirectDraw filter causes random reboots and this is real problem.
