I have converted some dvds to my Qtek s100. But the picture dosent fit the hole screen, ist smaler, quite small.. anybody have a clue?? i use pocket dvd wizard 3.0
Does anybody know where to find games and programs as well.. Maybe free as well
What converter did you used? it is depend on what software you are using. there might be some settings to be done first.
Try "PocketDivXEncoder". It's freeware, and will definitely do a good job.

hi all..
i have pocket slides and want to connect the xda to a projector for presentations, is there a cable available to do this...
cheers
Tony
There is a backPack module for the XDA II which has an internal battery, a CF slot and a video output port. The video output port connects to a supplied cable for either Supervideo/Composite Video/or VGA output.
I bought one two days ago and used it for a presentation today at a PDA user group meeting in KL Malaysia. Was very happy with how easy it was to use and the quality of the images being presented.
Ed
wow...cool
thanks.. but what make, and where did you get it...
thanks

The BackPack is an O2 product, details are on their website. Where to buy it from depends on where you live I guess. I'm in Malaysia and the unit has just hit the streets here though I believe it has been available in other countries for a while.
Ed
Could I ask does it come with any software or driver?
Thanks
Btw if you look on www.expansys.com you'll see a I-mate and a O2 backpack.
The I-mate backpack is cheaper, but afaik, 100% the same
Yes it does come with additional software and driver.
Two main types of software.
1. Screen Mirror: An application that mirrors (displays) everything you do on the XDA II screen on the projected screen. Very handy for tutorials on software and other XDA II features. I used this to demonstrate some new software at PPC users group meeting in KL on Saturday.
2. Presentation software: For Projecting pdf and powerpoint files. I demonstrated (at the same user group meeting) the features of the powerpoint presentation and found it was crisp, clear, good color retention and very easy to use. Some nice features in this software too. You have an on screen mouse pointer, you can also draw on the screen with multiple color pens. Both the pointer and drawings appear on the projected image as well. But perhaps the neatest feature is the ability to display the powerpoint slide plus your speaker's note on your PPC screen but only display the powerpoint slides on the projected screen. I think that is a very useful feature.
The drivers and software are inluced on a mini CD.

There are a couple of things I would like to see improved on the hardware side of things.
1. There is no way to charge the battery in the BackPack without attaching it to your XDA II. I would prefer to see an AC socket on the packpack itself so you can leave the backpack on charge and still be using your XDA II.
2. When you insert a CF card into the BackPacks CF slot a little plunger sticks out. The plunger is pressed to remove the CF card. I found the plunger sticking was a bit annoying for a right hander like me. Holding the XDA II in my left hand (so I can use the stylus in my right hand) places the CF slot plunger into the meat of my palm. It doesn't hurt at first but after using it for most of the day it was certainly annoying.

Screen mirror
Does the BackPack use the built-in ATI Imageon graphic accelerator?
Would it be possible to use higher resolution (640x480 on TV and 1024x768 on monitor) in all PocketPC applications?
I know this feature is not supported by default. But higher resolution in all apliccations is not supported on Toshiba e800 too, but with some hack you can use higher resolution in all applications.
There are applications for all PocketPCs which emulate higher resolution (using subpixels like the cleartype does). It these emulators you can see that most of applications (word, excel, internet explorer, ...) work correctly in higher resolution.
So my question: - is (or will be) possible to use your MDA2+BackPack in higher resolution (for exapmle for large XLS tables or for web browsing) on TV or VGA monitor? This feature would really be great! Imagine yourself sitting in a softchair, wireles keyboard in your hands and MDA2 connected to your TV showing XDA-Developers website in a full resolution !
It is possible to connect backpack to the TV and play divx?

... not the backpacki itself, but on the cable (VGA connector) is also the S-Video connector.
But the question remains: will I be able (using some hack) to use all PocketPC applications in HiRes on external monitor (similar hack as for Toshiba e800)?
Sorry by my badly english.
Whichever frames per second have the video signal? 2, 15, 60...?
One divx in TV with 2 FPS would be very bad :-(
hhhmmmm
i doubt that the backpack with vga out would be any kind of limiting factor when it comes to fsp it would al come down to what refreshrate it's running on the top of my head my guess would be 60Hz
this give a max fsp of 30fps
of cause if a tv of any kind of being used it 100% depend on if it's PAL or NTSC
so if your xda can play divx at an ok fps then your external screen should be able to aswell
I have been having backpack for few days. It works at the most to 2.5 FPS. :-(
I want to be able to watch movies on my XDA2 but do not know how to. Is it possible and if it is what would i need to do or get. Do i need a program on the XDA2. Which program would be the best to use?
Please could you help me because i really like my xda2 and want to watch movies on it.
Thank-you
The best way to watch movies on it is to go to www.handango.com and buy DVD to Pocket PC it's a program that compresses a dvd to about a mb for every minute of footage. You'll need an SD card to hold it- don't get a 128mb get a 512mb or 256mb at the least. The program works good I've used it on a load of films andit works on 95% but every odd dvd won't let you compress it. Te only thing to keep in mind is that if you get a huge Sd card everytime you get a phoncall it has to load up the card before the XDA2 will ring - on my 1gb card it can be about 4 rings sometimes. www.complett.ie is the cheapest site i've found for SD cards -1gb for 100 euros or £60
dimmy u can play movies on ur xda using softwares like pocet divx encoder and beta player , these r excellent stuff . u can find a long discussion on this topic on this forum cant remember where ..
Windows Movie Maker has an option to make (wmv) files for pocketpc devices. I ues beta player (i think it works really well). Another option is to use virtual dub or something and re-encode the file to a size that fits the screen. When I have do it that way, I also rotate the image 90 degrees.
Yo everbody
u can encode wmv movies with windows media encoder free download
Hi,
Would like to have the screen of the qtek 2020 visualized on a bigger screen.
Buying the backpack and connecting the video out to a video in of those 7" lcd display (you find many on the internet) will it work?
WIll it be aligned, I mean on the full screen size.
Thanks a lot.
backpack output is very slow maybe 2-5fps even slower when system is in (moderate) use. Far too slow for video, games, etc only useful for presentations and demonstrations.
ok, thanks for the reply.
What about using as a GPS?
I would like to see my tomtom 5 on a bigger screen. You think it will work?
Thanks and regards.
i've seen ones with both vga and composte
the xda should se one with composite as a tv it cant tell if a 32" tv is connected or something else
same thing with vga
I have no first hand experience of using tomtom so i dont know what it displays and how fast the display is updated but my best guess is that it will work fine on an external display. anybody have any experience?
is there any video program that allows you to use vga out from backpack to tv??? i couldnt find any myself..
also how can yo play a game on a tv via the backpack.. as i dont see any good app out there taht mirrors the screen of ppc fast enough.. ia mirror suxs

As thousand times said: You need XDA2 Back-pack and a CF VGA Card to connect at fluid speed (25fps) for videos,etc..
€299,95 !!!!!

Hi,
I found this one http://www.expansys.es/product.asp?code=VOYAGERCFVGA
anybody knows some one cheaper?
The backpack is now cheaper.
Thanks
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
I know, there are many solutions out there to use any mobilephone's webcam, but I didn't found any free ones and maybe one of you use his/her Leo as a webcam already (for Skype at PC eg) and can recommend me a one!?
thanks
Oh, that would be great!
Hmmm I got a one called WebCamera Plus, but worked not very well in trial, because there were many "scratches" every few seconds. That was very ugly. Did s.o. else have a better opinion or knows how to "solve" this problem? (It has a nice interface at all)
mobiola webcam for windows mobile works perfectly with skype and msn. although its a trial version - but funny anyway
OK I think I can sum up that both commercial solutions like "WebCamera Plus" and "Mobiola Webcam" are pretty useless on the HD2, cause the both seem not to work fluid an smooth, the picture gets stripes all the time and it lacks a lil bit too much for me.
So I searched a long time for another solution and finally found the way of the xda-member pafke, who says:
This is in short how it works (and it is free):
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

you can find the quotation here!
And this one really works fine, BUT it's not really comfortable! So you can make the Program track the windows from MyMobiler even when you open applications in the front and it's much more fluid than the other commercial programs and you can stream it to ICQ, Skype, chatroulette and whereever you want perfectly, BUT there are even some cons!
Like the camera is very sharp and I would like to make it more smooth and overlay it with a red/orange filter for make it a more wamer and then there is the problem with the size, I tried it serveral times to rotate (with MyMobile -> rotate) but that was a whole crap! Unfortunally resizing is not the best skill of the VH Screen Driver.
Maybe some of you got along with that problem or know an application to set after the VHS Screen Driver outgoing stream to rotate/scale/Colorize filter and make a new stream of that which can be used of skype, icq and all webcam related services and programs!?
