watching films - help please! - General Topics

i bought a disc off ebay with lots of cartoon clips and films etc, most of them are *.rm.
I copy them accross to my xda2, but im not able to watch them at all.
on the disc i bought there is a folder called Pocket PC which includes real one player PPC11PR.
I have tried copying this over and that doesnt work.
Also in the same folder is Pocket MVP as a zipped folder, again tried copying and installing this, but no luck.
I must be doing something wrong as the seller has excellent feedback, so other people must be getting it to work!
any help would be very appreciated.
Cheers!

Watching DVD video on the PDA - Help needed please.

Can someone help please?
I have just copied the TV highlights of a particular cycle "tour" on to my hard drive and in turn on to DVD. How can I put this video footage onto my PDA to watch during lunchtime, etc?
There are 2 directories on the DVD - these are VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. I assume that this is all needed on the PDA to watch what I have of the tour.
Do I need special software? One person tells me that all I need to do is change the *.VOB to *.MP4. This doesn't appear to work.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
S.
Having re-read what I have just typed - the title doesn't make it clear what I am trying to do.
The DVD bit was just a way of transferring from my TV set-top hard-drive to my PC.
I then want to copy from my PC to my PDA.
All I am ultimately trying to do is be able to watch what is on my hard-drive on the PDA. It just so happens the video codecs (something I dont' know a lot about) and file formats *.VOB don't appear to let me watch what I want.
Thanks.

Spb Mobile DVD is a pretty popular app that'll convert DVDs to a format you can view on your PPC. It's not free, but it's worth the cost if you get good use out of it. It's also really easy to run.
I'm also moving this to a more appropriate forum.

Hi TaurusBullba.
Thanks for the tip.
Doing this kind of conversion how much disc space would 1Gb of VOB file take up - do you know?
Is it cheaper direct or could I get it anywhere else?
How does it deal with copyright protected discs?
Thanks again.
S.
since pda's have a res of 240_320 and 480_640
and dont support surround sound
and can use formats which take up less space then
old mpeg2 which is used in vob's on the dvd's
so the movies will be much much smaller then the dvd is

tmobile wing video help

im sorry if im not posting in the correct forum for this but i am extremely frustrated. i would very much like to watch videos on my wing. however i cannot find a solution on how to get the damned things on the device. i have searched the internet and looked at the htc website all to no avail. if anyone can help me that would be awesome.
thanks to all who contribute
look for TCPMP on www.google.com
ok, i downloaded the cab file for my wing. i dled the one that says for pocketpc. is this correct? also i downloaded battery status but im unsure on how to use this. if you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
the only other question is how do i get the media oon my wing? ive tried syncing it with wmp and that fails. i tried drag and drop onto the micro sd card and that also does not work. what am i doing wrong?
anyone that can answer these questions please! it would be a great help
media is a broad term maybe you should state what files you are trying to get to it
never synced with wmp myself but have many many many of my cd's on my 2GB microSD card and it works just fine
both as mp3 and wma
also have ogg, mpg, avi(divx) and such on it
i am trying to get avi's mp4's.... basically any type of movie file on my wing and never can do it. always get an error.
dezos112: what player are you using? what error do you get?
i dled the player you suggested. the player is fine. the problem is getting the movies on my card. nothing seems to work.
what do you mean by "the problem is getting the movies on my card. nothing seems to work."
Explain more clearly please.
i mean getting the movies files from my computer onto my 2gb micro sd card.
so freaking frustrating! sorry for *****ing but this is the only thing that annoys me about this phone
if i need to be anymore specific let me know.
using total commander and marking the mp4 files and clicking copy would prob do the trick
What exactly are you using for copying the files over to the phone? If you're doing it over the standard ActiveSync USB sync, it's going to take ages and you may be pulling the phone out of its cradle before the file is fully done copying. If you don't have one already, I'd highly reccomend getting a USB 2.0 MiniSD card reader to speed up the transfer of movies and music.
ok... ive solved the issue on how to get the movie files on my phone. now i try to open them with the program, the first time i tried it worked like a charm. now when i open a movie file it crashes to the today screen. do i need a different media player?????
by the way. i opened the movie file with tcpmp. thats the program that crashes to the today screen. is there any other media player i should use?

Playing Video Files

I'm getting very frustrated trying to find a good combo of player and format to play videos (films etc) on my Exec. I think I have settled with TCPMP with AVIs however....
On my home WIFI I can connect my Exec to a shared drive and play a film, good.... but.... if I copy the film to my SD card (I've tried async, mounted the Exec as a HDD, used a external card reader) when I go to play it I always get 'Unknown file format'. If I go back to the network copy it plays fine.... Tried with a number of films, always the same. So I can watch films at home on my exec (I'd rather use my projector and sit in a comfy chair), but I cant watch them when I'm on the train, which was the whole point of the exercise.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, or if this has been discussed some place else, to be honest I cant think of a search phase that would describe this problem (and yes I have tried for an hour). So I apologies for posting here. But anyone got any good ideas.
BTW, I'm using WM6 by JWrightmcps ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE, Extended Rom: (2.03.07 WWE), Radio Rom: (1.15.00), TCPMP
PS: This ROM is absolutely the badger &*(&(, a great piece of work and apart from some teething problem due to my ignorance works an absolute treat. Txs
Before you ask, its a 4G SD card which seems to work fine on the EXEC for everything else....
Much perplex.... trog
Not tried streaming my files to my PDA, it's a trinity btw, but i have several DVDs i have converted to wmv format and they work just fine when copied to mini-SD card. Got Shrek on it at the moment.
I use imToo DVD Convertor to rip the DVD movie to a single wmv. Wonderful way to tie up the PC, but the results are fine.
what are you using to convert the videos?
I have done it manually with various apps (eg Pocket DivX Encoder) and they played fine on my Blue Angel using TCPMP
corrupt 4G SD
OK, found what my problem was.
Although the 4G HCSD looked to be working fine, actually it was corrupting files, I found some deep files (many directories down with wierd names and huge (1.5T and bigger). Looks like the HC drivers on my PC and Exec were not working. Tried to reformat on PC but still same problem, uploaded the HotFixes for 4G and greater on PC (XP) and reformatted which then trashed the SD card. It will no longer read in either Exec or PC (PC says its a RAW device and fails when trying to reformat it now).
Anyway, 2G SD work fine and can watch films on them instead. Now have a bricked 4G HC SD (it was a learning exercise ;-}

Video from phone to pc

Hey,
I used the search function and did not find what I searched for so I hope I did not oversee something
I recorded some videos with my phone (HTC hero with the standart camera) and as I wanted to copy the files to my pc I could not find them. There is the option to share via gmail or bluetooth but the files are to big for gmail and my pc does not have bluetooth so how can I transfer these video files to my pc?
Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance
Nobody can help?
What about moving stuff to SD card and pulling card / using USB adapter to plug in PC? Plus it all depends on what format device records video in that will determine if you can play on PC.
good day.
I can´t find it on my phone. I used Root Explorer to look for the videos but I dunno where they are saved, do you know what folder I have to look for?
Thx for the advice btw
Sorry winmo user. But after some searching the videos should be in the same folder as your pictures.
good day.
I guess I found the solution here:

Just posting it, in case anyone else has the problem. Thanks, seems your advise solved it.
