SPV M500 Newbie

[Guest dr_shabzzz]

Hi guys I'm new to this site but have been reading for a few days and decided to join...

Now I'm probably gunna really annoy some people with my first few posts, so sorry in advance but here it goes...

I have an Orange SPV M500...I want some decent software, games, videos etc...where do i download them all from? How do i get hold of the Windows mobile divx and avi codecs?

Also what version of Windows Mobile do i have? and will all software under the label of "windows mobile" work on my SPV?

Thanks in advance ;)

Welcome to the forum ;)

Start here for software :

Have a search for PocketdivXencoder to make your own vids and play them on TCPMP - get it here along with the missing codecs.

Look in Settings, System tab, About for the version of Windows Mobile. Generally you need to look for Pocket PC version software. Your phone is not a Smartphone, strictly speaking, since it is stylus-based rather than keypad for input and there is naturally a difference with the software.

By TCPMP i assume you mean the Windows Media player thats already installed on the phone?

Will I need just PocketdivXencoder...or will i need VirtualDub and Auto Gordian Knot aswell?

TCPMP = The Core Pocket Media Player = light years ahead of Windows Media Player

You won't need VirtualDub and I've never heard of 'Auto Gordian Knot' !

There are fully detailed guides in our FAQs & Articles sections and don't be making illegal copies of DVDs or anything like that ;)

I tried Auto Gordian Knot a week or so ago as it seemed to say it'll do everything Pocket DVD Studio does (DVD straight to PPC) for free. I tried a little section to test that went to about 30Meg with PocketDivxEncoder and AGK pumped out a 250Meg file!!! I uninstalled it shortly afterwards! ;)
