Is this phone no good for playing video? or is it my setting

[Guest Osiris]

G'day all,

Is this phone just too slow to play video files? or is it the codecs or whatever im using?

When I originally got the phone, I took a television show I had in mpeg1, converted it to WMA, and it went relatively smooth playing it in Mediaplayer.

Now despite whatever settings I encode a WMA at, it still comes out sketchy, and stops and sputters etc.

Am I doing something wrong here? or is WMA not the way to go? I assumed being a windows phone it would probably play WMAs quite well.

Anyway feel free to set me straight

Thanks in advance.

wma is not the best format for the phone, what you need is

the excellent Beta Player to play divx avi files

Have a look in the Articles section there is a post there about

converting video files.

The post was designed for Pocket MVP but Beta Player is better.

More information about BetaPlayer can be found in the Software Application section ( a few posts down)

Unstable 0.91 of Betaplayer plays MPEG-1 files now. Quite nicely, I might add.
