when i want to copy video files over to my xda i do so using active sync and wen i go to open it the file comes up as a file that cant b read by any program, what do i have to do in order for it to play video? plz help! :?
what format video files? if they are avi/divx you will need a player for this. i am sure there will be a flood of posts now with everyone recommending the best player to use. :roll:
pocket tv is good
divx is also
mediaplayer only play ms formats like wmv or asp maybe and such

Hello,
just got my xda (64mb), I can't view my Compile HTML (like an ebook) in xda; on the IE that comes with the xda. Also how can i view my *.dat (Vcd) in Windows Media PLayer in 8.5 (whm).
Any software to convert them, TRy some but still unable to do that
hi,
nobody seems to be able to advise me on this matter.. Any kind soul
Pocket Windows Media PLayer 8.5 dows not support *.dat files from VCD.
You may want to covert them to divx with a smaller screen size and then play them with pocket Divx player. Pocket Windows Media PLayer 8.5 onluy support mpg, wma, wmv, and MP3 (and wav).
IF you use pocket divx doe covert your sound to mp3 not ogg becaus this may not work.
check http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/index.php for info on pocket divx and http://www.virtualdub.org/ for coverting your video files to an other format. good luck.
And sorry cant help you on the CHM thing but will look in to it. 8)
Rename the .dat to .mpg and play with your favourite mpeg player
Windows XP contains a tool to edit and convert them.
First rename the .DAT file into .MPG
Then start "windows movie maker" , and load the .MPG file
(start/programs/accessories/entertainment/windows movie maker)
Drag the clip down to the movie bar, and edit the clip, or just goto
'file/save movie file' and save as : movie.wmv
when asked for 'movie settings' select 'other settings',
video for pocket pc (full screen 218 Kbps)
This will take some time to convert, but the video looks nice.
Don't forget to press the 'full screen' button on your winmediaplayer
(next to the volume bar) when playing the clip on yor XDA
Enjoy
Anymore advise on *.chm
thanks for the xda developer who tell me about windows movie maker... it works.. How about *.chm ?.....
.chm files
.chm files are compiled html file. to be able to read this on your pocketpc, you will need to decompile it using htmlhelp compiler. this piece of software comes from the installation of microsoft's service pack 5.0 for visual studio 6.0.
try and search google for html decompiler or better yet, check microsoft downloads.

I have tryed a number of .avi files and havent been able to open them using WMP how come it doesnt work. :? replys much appreciated
The same problem happens to me.. I cannot copy the music using the wmp to my xda. It states the network path was not found. Anyone help me pls..
download Divx or sum other media player
had the same problem here. Downloaded the windows media encoder and converted to pocket pc friendly format, and worked a treat!
pocket wmp only play wmv and asf and other ms formats
the only non ms formats i think it plays are midi not sure if it does play that since i havent tried, wav, mp3
the give aways is if you explore around your files and choosing a avi file dont make wmp play it automaticly it's simply because it dont support it
and it dont auto get codecs like it does on windows at least my wmp dont but then it's not version 9
After i Upgraded to Magneto ..i cannot open the .mp4 files ..i mean the videos which i took with my wm2003 ..is there any player which i can use to play those vids? does real player play .mp4 extension?
Hoping to get a reply soon !!!
Hi

or
make your movies into freaky special ms formats like wmv or something to make media player play them
Hi there.
WMV for PPC is not that good. Why don't you try this one:
http://divx.ppccool.com/ -- The very easy to use Encoder for all kinds of formats.
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download -- The Code Pocket Media Player wich is fast enough to play high quality movies with high quality Sound. I was really impressed by both of these tools!
Have Fun,
Timo
EDIT, ah I'm sorry. Rudegar allready told you about the player... But use the encoder. Nothing is more intuitive than that
Hi Mcnugget
Thanks for your reply, but what do I do next...sorry im a bit thick
steve
normaly exe files are have to be run in windows and they autoinstall the pda program to the pda next time you sync
cab files are run on the pda where they autoinstall
both paths should result in an icon in programs which start the program
then you choose files and browse to where your movie is
then you click on the movie file and it plays
my apologies if this is wrong section, but i really don't know where to ask.
the stock video player is not very good. does not support many files.
i am sure it play 720p clips but not all file format. even some of my avi file also it cannot play. tells me unsupported file format. but its in avi and its a kelloggs advertisement.
since i am from windows mobile background we used to have a player called coreplayer which plays everything under the sun including file with rmvb and rm format.
is there a video player like that for samsung vibrant android ?
i use winamp for the android audio because the stock ones cant play some of my files properly.
if can, please recommend me a good video player to download from market.
thank you in advance.

Rockplayer and YXPlayer should be good places to start....
