Vario 2 Video Playback

[Guest Tommy Squeaker]

Ive got a few vids ive tried to put on my Vario 2. They are mpegs, what formats will the vario 2 play? Will it play mpegs?

Also im transferring to my memory card via laptop card reader, should i use active sync?

Thanks

Hey, as far as i know Vario II will play WMV (may be a couple more too, not sure). But it wont play MPEG. You will need a 3rd party player. Something like Pictpocket Cinema. It can play almost everything you can throw at it. I have seen some issues with .mov files though, where it didnt play a certain few of them (not sure why). But theres is a converter that comes in handy for those times. But it should play MPEGs out of the box!

What a shame TCPMP became sooo expensive. Did I also hear that TCPMP and the Vario II didn't get along? Sure I heard there were some compatibility issues so even buying it was a no-go option for VII owners. I'd had that player on every Smartphone I've owned over the years and never found anything it couldn't play.

Just as a test I ActiveSync'd an mpeg movie onto the VII yesterday. It's 190Mb took a while due to lots of 'converting' process, but it is indeed now viewable within WMP.

The file types WMP will handle are all listed in the manual. Mpg/mpeg isn't one of them:

Video - wmv, asf, mp4, 3gp, avi, 3g2

Audio - wma, mp3, mid, midi, rmi, amr, awb, m4a (aac) and gcp
