Playing Movies (divx,mpg,xvid,etc) Have an iPAQ 3835 with PPC 2002. Is there a program for it that will play movies encoded with divx, mpg, or xvid codecs well. D/led one but the video was very choppy and Media Player will not let me select movies off of my memory card. Noob to PPCs. Point me in the right direction please. Thanks, Mycroft |

I use two players, the first one being mainly Betaplayer (betaplayer.corecodec.org) and the second one being PocketMVP. Betaplayer plays all my DivX movies. Oh, movie quality is great but if there is too much action, the my ARM CPU will be somewhat overwhelm at times, and XSCale shouldn’t have much trouble. |

I have an ipa 3835 and use Pocket DIVX–here is one download link (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/pocketdivx.html).
As for media player recognizing files on a cf or sd card, you need to create a folder named My Documents on your memory card. Once the memory card has the \my documents folder, select open file on windows media player and just browse down to the folder on your card. |

Help please – I’m in big trouble!! Quote:
Jack I’m a newbie so please bear with me. I downloaded Pocket TV as recommended and tried to play a 7mB Windows Media Player video in this format (to see if I could get rid of the “jerky” effect). Download seemed to work fine. I only have a couple of extra programmes running on my device (it has Outlook 2002 plus Avantgo and a couple of other things), plus a couple of (small)documents only saved on it. Now every programme on the device is running very, very slowly. It takes an age to open or close down an appication (literally minutes) I cannot understand what has happened or gone wrong. Is the best thing to do to remove the PocketTV programme, and how do I do this? I’m really desperate. thanks Mark. Last edited by Mark5000910 : 03-23-2005 at 07:45 PM. |

I can’t imagine that Pocket TV is causing this problem. I have found it to be an extraordinarily stable program. However, if you want to remove it, you can go to START-SETTINGS-SYSTEM and click on REMOVE PROGRAMS. Run that program, pick Pocket TV and then it will be removed. I think I might try several options first…soft reset…make sure that memory is clear. I would even consider a hard reset and a fresh install of Pocket TV. The program is that good that I feel it is worth the effort.
Let me know what you do and what the end result is….good luck! __________________ Jack Cook Senior Editor, Dave’s iPAQ Microsoft MVP – Windows Mobile Devices NEW Dont forget our Podcast hotline telephone number in the US: 1-425-738-9506 available 24 hours a day 7 days a week or leave us a SKYPE Voicemail by clicking here .

Jack Thanks – a soft reset seemed to solve the problem. What I think I did wrong was try to open Pocket TV and then open File explorer and try to play the Media Player video in it. (I can “hear” you smiling at all this! I told you I am a true “user”). I guess what I need to do is somehow convert the video clip to play in the Pocket TV programme first, but I don’t know how to do this. If you can point me in the right direction about what to do, that would be great. Thanks for your help.
Mark. |
