Hi there , we are trying to open an mpeg , mpg and mov
files . But we are able to open it in our PC , but when we
sync or transfer the file to my pocket pc HP 2200 Model ,
the files are unable to open .

Currently we are using the Windows Media 9 Series .It can
only open .wmv files .

Hopefully someone can help me to open the files

Thanks

Windows Media Player 9 Series for Pocket PC does NOT support play back of
any other format of video other than ones compressed/encoded in the Windows
Media 7.1 - 9 codecs. I.e. WMV or ASF video.

You will need something like Pocket TV to play back MPEG's or PocketDivX to
play back DivX movies.

Richard,

I have ppc2002 so no wmp9. Can you confirm that wmp9 plays video and
audio in the asf format.

If you've got a Pocket PC 2002 device, you can use the free Windows Media
Encoder 7.1 to encode so that they will play back with Windows Media Player
on PocketPC 2002.

But yes, Windows Media Player 9 plays video and audio in the asf format.

I am having the same problem. Where can I find
the "Pocket TV" program? Is there an upgrade of Windows
Media Player or Real One for the pocket PC?

Upgrade from which version ? The latest real player is here :
http://www.real.com/realmobile/download.html

Although in the last year realnetworks seem to have gone out of their
way to make it difficult to find *anything* on their site :-P

Cheers - Neil.

G726 is notoriously difficult to find for any playback system :-(

I keep getting asked about it for netmeeting, although it features as
a request regularly on the openH323 site. Tabletmedia's ifon comes
with G729, G711 and G723 codecs but not G726, and thats a top rate
compatible product for video chat.

Is is out of the question to install it for pocketTV or pocketDivX
instead, and use one of those programs to view the content ? Or to
convert the content before viewing on the PPC, maybe with windaz
media encoder ?

Else, the best suggestion might be to acquire the source code for the
codec (its bound to be available in the wild) then compile it against
PPC (presumably xScale) processor profile / headers. And finally,
install it for your own use.

Cheers - Neil.

Neil,

I really wish I could do that. If someone with the knowledge to do this
manages then please let us know. All Iwant to do is be able to play video
with audio recorded on my DMRE100H and DV camcorder on my Ipaq.

VideoEdit Converter Pro.

It's an elegant (and free) product that converts MPEG to WMV.
