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.
OK, here's the backround info. My wife uses her T-Mobile MDA to log onto her jobs email server via EDGE. Her voice mails are automatically sent to her email, and she's been able to check her email on her MDA and be able to play them in the media player. All of a sudden, she says she's now getting an error message saying that a component is missing (I don't have the phone with me now). So, she calls me and asks me what I did to her phone. I have no idea what would cause this to stop working. Can someone help me brain storm? I know I should have the phone with me to describe exactly what the message is but I'm not able to get it from her at the moment. Just trying to think of some possible reasons.
Her phone is using the original T-Mobile USA ROM, we just added the following programs recently: 1) NoteM (which didn't work properly) 2) TodayAgenda 3) Smartbutton 4) Oxios Hibernate.
I also removed two programs: some T-Mobile Hot Spot manager (never uses wifi) and the other, I can't remember what it was. It was sofware that's been on the phone since we bought it new but I didn't think she needed it. I can't remember what it is for the life of me.
So, if someone has a suggestion, please let me know. Also, is there a list of all programs that came stock on the MDA?
OK. This is the error message I get when I try to download the WAV file for the voice mail: "The file 'VOICEATT' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
It let's me download the file now but when I try to play it, I get the message above. Also, the file just has a generic white piece of paper look to it with the MS icon in the middle. She says this was working fine before, it just stoped working this week. BTW, I also added .NET Framework to her device last week as well. Added this because I couldn't get Smart button to work without it. She said it used to open in the Media player, no problems. Any ideas what might be causing this? Looks like the file is not recognized anymore.
Also, I just downloaded the same file to my Artemis and it shows up as a windows wave file icon. No problems playing it on my desktop or my phone. But the MDA will not recognize the file no matter what. What's even more strange is that I can play the file with MS Notes? It still has the same generic icon, but I can play the files in Notes, but not in WMP. What could have caused WMP to stop recognizing wave files? I can still play her MP3 on her storage card in WMP though.
Also, I added a Security Prompt Bug Fix to turn off the security. Before I added this, it wouldn't even let me download the file. Now it downloads but I just can't play it.

we just went to avaya voip at work and now get VMs in our email as well. i had the same issue, and couldnt figure out why WMP couldnt play WAV files... doesnt make sense. but anyways i installed TCMP (http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/tcpmp.shtml) and set it to be the default player for everything... when opening up wav files it still says unsupported codec. what the hell can it play if it can't play wav files? i ended up going to a different WM6 build where WMP would work (tested it just now). so the only thing i can suggest is finding a CAB for WMP and installing again or play around with the ten million WM6 builds...

I downloaded Conduits Meda Player and it plays the files but it wont automatically play the files when you click on them. I could not find a setting that would make it automatically open and play the file - it would just open the program. Then you had to open the folder where the file was stored. Since I also discovered that the Notes program would play the WAV files, I just uninstalled the Conduits prog, and now I'm having my wife just use notes instead. It's a little cumbersome, but until I can find a media player that can open automatically and play the darn files, may as well use Notes.

Since audio is basically all you need, try this great little app. This is the updated version, and has a settings option to play at open.
Enjoy!

By the way TCPMP does have a setting to "play at open"
In TCPMP go to Options>settings

Select page>player check box at play at open. Tap OK [pict2]
I'm having some trouble. . .
On my Wing, it seems that it wont really play any of the videos I store on my SD card. I've got maybe 300 gigs of media on my box, and I realize that the device supports 3GP, MP4, and AVI files, though I have no idea what versions of those extensions will play.
I have tried converting file types, file strengths (encoding, etc) to no avail. At one point I condensed an episode from my Robot Chicken DVD (picked for hilarity as well as small file size) and though the file was say, 50 MB on the computer (and played using WMP), and 50MB on the phone, it only played and scrolled as if the file was 5 seconds long on the phone.
Just like the blackberry, I assume there is a converter, or something I am otherwise missing here. All I really want to be able to do is to take a DVD, or take a file I've created, found, unearthed while deep-sea diving, etc, and play it on my Wing.
Where do I start?
EXTRA BONUS QUESTION: I installed Opera Mini as an alternative browser in root, which I now realize is IMPOSSIBLE to access. I believe a memory wipe should cure that. Would it be accessable if I store it on say, the SD card? Through file manager maybe?

Media player sucks for viewing any type of video on your phone. I suggest you install TCPMP and you should be fine. Do a search on the forum and you should find it pretty easy. As far as your Opera Mini Question....you should be able to run it from your SD card just fine.
Much appreciated, roman, I had figured it would be something like that. Glad to be rid of WMP too.
Clarifying question: How do I play the files through TCPMP? Ive tried from the file itself in file manager and it tries to launch WMP. I dont see a "file > open" type pathway within TCPMP itself.
What am I missing there?
add the file to it's playlist

There is actually a open tab thing in TCPMP, on the botton control bar in the player, click on the first tab from the left and in there there is the open option. And if you want the files to automatically open with TCPMP when you acces them from the file explorer etc. then you go to the TCPMP sttings and then to file associations. IN there select the files that you want to be asociated with TCPMP, and i think after a soft reset, they will automatically be opened with TCPMP.

If you open TCPMP you will see file then open file.

Most of my movies or videos are in AVI or MP4.
It seems like the basic music player doesn't support streams, there doesn't appear to be any support in windows media player for streams either...
In the end I searched for some tools and GSplayer came up as supporting streams, so i tried that and copied the CAB install file to the storage card, it showed up in the start menu...I can run it and open a URL or local .pls file and it starts to stream...you see the percentage buffer quickly shoot up to 100% but then nothing happens...no audio, nothing.
I'm basically trying to play audio from an internet radio station I use a lot at home (xfm.nl) if you click "Luister Live" on the left you'll see shortcuts for all the streams.
Can anyone help? My settings are OK I think, I can get to the internet and recieve my email and use all the web based apps, so I don't think its a connection thing...maybe GSPlayer just doesn't support the HD2?
Try Skyfire browser.

I have WunderRadio but since you know the stream you want to play coreplayer will open it.
I just tried this using Skyfire and GSPlayer.
I clicked on the Winamp mobile link, and it downloaded the .pls stream to my storage card. GSPlayer opened automatically. I've set GSPlayer to own .pls files, so maybe that would help.
Just tried clicking on the downloaded .pls file and it also opens up GSPlayer. Hope that helps! At least you know that it can work
I want to know something fairly similar, is it possible to make a player stream a song or file instead of having to download it first. Sometimes with very large files I just want to play it and let it download as it plays instead of waiting for the entire file to download before being able to play it.
Try Groovemobile or nanogroove.
I just upgraded from a Touch Pro 2.
I have a few shoutcast .pls files I used to open and stream in coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427 with no problems.
I have changed from o2 to orange but all other streaming seems ok (e.g nanogroove/groovemobile/youtube/myplayer etc).
On the HD2 when I try to open the .pls files I get an unknown file format (0106) error or sometimes coreplayer just crashes.
Anyone know how to get coreplayer working with there files again?
I enjoy accessing last.fm using the skyfire browser.
Try SPB Radio, pretty good!
I just wanted to thank everyone posting suggestions, I will be trying some of them out soon
There is also coreplayer which handles .pls and .m3u file attachments.
.mp3's will not play. .avi's will not play (through TCPMP). .mp4's will not play.
SURELY I don't need to convert songs before I transfer them to my device? But either way, they will not play. Video's have never played.
Currently using HSPL with Artemis v13. I bought the HD2 because of the amazing screen, but seeing as I can't watch films on it, it's not much good to me, just a phone, which I could trade in for a cheaper one and earn some money! ANY ideas at ALL what I can do with this guys? I seem to have tried everything.
You must have installed something that has caused this problem, because it's out-of-the-box functionality to play mp3 & mp4 files (for AVI you would need tcpmp/coreplayer).
Did it work before you flashed the Artemis ROM? I seriously doubt that the ROM is the cause here though, as you'd most likely not be the first person to notice
When you say "they don't play", what actually happens? If you open file explorer and find an mp3 or mp4 file and click it, what happens?
On stock rom, .mp4's stay stuck on 'Loading...' but never move, on Artemis 'Loading...' pops up briefly, then disappears. With .mp3's the music player just skips through the songs until it reaches the end. TCPMP and Coreplayer say 'unknown file format' on .avi files. I have tried all manner of conversion software, but nothing ever seems to work. I remember when I first got the phone, out the box, it played mp4's quite merrily, but issues began after I had to hard-reset it. I'm not sure if that's just coincidence. It's bloody annoying though!
I wish there was a phone media player out there that did the same job as VLC on desktops, i.e. it will play a used a toilet roll if you want it to!
John, Could you perhaps link me the .cab you use for TCPMP? I have used 3 or 4 different .cabs I've seen lying around, but none of them do the job.
There's something wrong with your phone mate. If it didn't play mp3s out of the box then it won't play them - sorry but it's that simple.
I'd recommend sending it back to your supplier as faulty.
Edit:
I can't link you to a tcpmp cab that I use because I bought Coreplayer, but in fairness, if you've tried 3 or 4 different ones and it doesn't work then there's definitely something wrong with the phone. Maybe the device memory is corrupted (physically) - who knows. But it really does just sound knackered I'm afraid.
i would flash stock rom (and overwrite hspl) and then check, if it can play media files again.
if so, it was your rom. if not, somethings wrong with your phone.
grace to ospl and stock rom, you could return it now and get a new one
but i'm nearly 100% sure, that its your rom.
DN41
OK lads, cheers.
Better swap the SPL back and flash stock rom before I send it to O2 I guess .
One other question - for the device to play video (either .mp4 or .avi) does the file need to be a certain frame width / height and frame rate, bitrate etc, or will it play any .mp4 extension (or .avi extension, with TCPMP)?
can play every mp4 file...
sometimes with lags or something, but its still playable.
