Windows Media Mobile and Ogg/AAC/DIVX

[Guest duchski]

All,

Window Media Player for Mobile that shipw with Smartphones has a very limited list of supported formats. Most improtanlty to me it misses

on Ogg Vorbis and AAC....

Both Ogg and AAC offer much better compresion/qulity ratio which is important when confronted with reality of 512/1GB storage limit on the phone...

There are WMA codecs that support other formats such as ogg, divx and x-vid, thwy work on windows32 so I believe they should work on windows mobile, too

Now, is there anybody who would interested in porting ogg and other codecs to windows mobile environment?

I think it would be interesting to have WMA 9 or 10 play DIVX and ogg...

What do you think?

Please post replies to this forum and/or to me directly at yahoo/duchski

PS Fo those who never heard of it ogg vorbis is a format that offers MP3 quality ot half the bandwtih i.e. 64K ogg has a quality of 128 MP3..

Talking about space savings on your media card...

Betaplayer already plays Oak and Divx for free.

If you want a nice interface PocketMusic ($20) will play Oak files and includes winamp like features. I don't care too much for windows media player though... sorry.
