Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Multimedia / March 2004MS Encoder: Movies for PPC?
Hi, I am trying to use MS Encoder to encode MPEG-2 files to WMV 9 for viewing on the PPC. The profiles delivered with Encoder have two drawbacks for me: 1. They use WMV 8, not the presumably better WMV 9. 2. They are set up for NTSC video, while I have PAL. Whenever I try to modify these profiles to fit my needs, I get extremely low frame rates on the encoded video. One reason might be that the format ratio of the PPC is identical to NTSC, but needs to change for PAL. Anyone has any experience with this? Thanks!

Just go through the whole process selecting your output as Pocket PC... select the full screen format, select your audio format and go on until you have to hit finish. Uncheck start Encoding when ... Anyway, you will have to go to Properties to edit the Compression... it will show up as custom once you edit it... and you can select the frame rate as well as the codec used. But I think WMV v8 works better for Pocket PCs... The only device I've seen so far that handles WMV v9 at full screen pretty well is the h1940. What's your PPC by the way? I'm supposing it's a WM2003 unit already... SignatureCarlo Ma. Guerrero Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices > Carlo, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > 9 Carlo, I did as you describe. But the frame rate during the encoding with 9 drops to 7 fps or so - even on the input side. weird! > But I think WMV v8 works better for Pocket PCs...

I'm supposing it's a WM2003 unit already... An iPaq 5450 with WM2003. SignatureThomas Borchert, Tue, 23 Mar 2004 16:03 +0100 Yikes... a PXA250 unit... Try encoding in v8 or v7... and try to keep the bitrates below 250kbps. SignatureCarlo Ma.

Hey, it was the latest and the greatest just one year ago. Got badly bitten by the early adopter bug... SignatureThomas Borchert, Mon, 29 Mar 2004 12:25 +0200 |
