Help with media player

[Guest stormfuzz]

HI

I am trying to watch films on my Ipaq 1945, I am converting to WMV but only about 1 in 10 seem to work. I have downloaded the core media player but the PDA will not recognise the files. What am I doing wrong. What program should I be using to convert and to what type of file. Any help would be a great help. :| :| :| :| :| :|

Welcome to the forum :)

Most members here would use PocketDivXencoder, which is linked to on the TCPMP site.

Thanks, found encoder which works fine, still having problems with core media player. Although it loads onto my pda it does not recognise it as a program, it does not recognise it at all. Does it matter which version I try, tried most of them with no joy.

tcpmp.setup.[version].exe - Desktop installer for PocketPC or HPC devices. It should be launched on the PC when the PDA is connected via ActiveSync.

Although I have no experience of iPaqs I would assume that is the correct one.

You did run the installer on the PC ?

Does the shortcut appear in the Programs menu ?

What do you mean by "does not recognise it as a program" exactly ?

I loaded from the PC and activesync loaded it no problem. It made a file in the program files Called TCPMP. You can open this file no problem. You then have 4 files (differnt version that I tried), when you try and open it it says 'there is no application associated with "ac3".Run the application first then open this file from within the application.'

I have tried

ac3

ffmpeg

speex

vorbislq

Any help would be appreciated.

All you need to do is run tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe on your PC when the Ipaq is connected via ActiveSync. Select install to storage card when prompted.

You will then have a shortcut in your Programs menu which launches the software.

That's all there is to it :)

Sorted it, thanks for your help. Must have been using the version.
