There is no converter on the cdrom and i don't know witch one to use.

Why don´t you try the Beta Player:

i belive Betaplayer is the best Pocket PC player around, as Anders said, use that. And don't forget to convert your movies into 240*320 to save storage space; i suggest u Pocket Divx Encoder (http://divx.ppccool.com)
:wink:

Pocket Divx Encoder......

ok thnx it works great.
I tested it with a small 60 mb movie and i didn't compressed it.
I now tryed to upload an 221mb compressed file ( original about 600 mb)but it fails.
I dragged the file to the storagecard folder but it goes to 3 stipes but if i check again it is back at 1 stripe.

xda/Mac users! free dvd to mpeg4/avi application

hi,
just downloaded a free software application for Mac osx., called handbrake.
i know there are proper programs out there that do this but this is free and easy to use.
what it does is crops and converts your dvds to a small file either mpeg4 or avi.
you can crop it to 320x240 and adjust the sound quality and set it for maximum mb so it fits on your sd card just right.
the files play back using the camera program.
here is the link http://handbrake.m0k.org/download.php

where can i find codecs

my windows media player 9,doesn't support divx,and i don't know where i can find some codecs or something. And why when i try to access a file in FILE BROWSER i get an error message something like : windows cannot find a application suitable for this( JPEG image ). PS Do you recommend me to upgrade to windows 2005???
TSM 500 ( XDA II )
ROM Version : 2.06.00WWE
ExtROM:Sin.Merged.v.2.0

ok 1st the one i can help with, Codecs, AVI and DIVX files where a must for me when i got mine, after some searching i settled on TCPMP,
The Core Pocket Media Player
http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/366/tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
for the ARM CAB Download or
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=222#r222
for the list of installers
Once installed run the app and goto options then settings,
then tap on select page, from this drop down list select file associations.
pick em off, i have it set for everything but PNG JPG & JPEG. but more importantly AVI and DIVX is there. and playback is very clear.
Works Perfect for me.
As for the JPEG Image issue, dont know is this only for JPEG Files, options but not answers could be try resco explorer instead of the standard, but i cant see that being the issue, more than likely file association in the registry but i couldnt say where.
Pocket Tweak from Tillanosoft has file associations could be worth checking that to see if jpg is set to the correct program.
Hope this helps

FINALLY, YOUTUBE video for pocket pc

Theres a beta program to play youtube video on pocket pc. Theres two parts, a program to download youtube video by pocket pc or pc. A TCPMP plugin to play FLV files directly on pocket pc. Heres the link to the zip folder. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196939

very nice i will try it

How do u use this do u put the link to the video in the video id spot and then it will download it?

Flv file, and splitter
what i did was copied the flv file and flv splitter file, put it in the folder with the tcpmp. Go to settings/file associations and check flash video.

Can anyone tell me why tcpmp won't install for me for some reason? lol.. it doesnt give me a reason .. it just says it was unsuccessful.

plugin files
the plugin files are only supported by the TCPMP player. The new one called " The Core Player " does'nt support the plugin files. For those of you who dont know there is a difference between the tcpmp and the core player. I dont know what the diffrence is, but this program is for the latest FREE tcpmp player, not the paid version which is called The Core Player. Hopes this helps.

Thanks Bro i really need it

I Confirm
This program works 100% on my MDA. Here is my tutoral: 1. go to www.youtube.com and pick a video. 2. find the url box, highlight and copy just the video id at the of the url. 3. Now go to the youtube for pocket pc program and paste the video id in the box provided. 4. select which folder you want to download the video to. ( I made a new folder and name it youtube videos.) 5. click the start button and voila, it starts to download. This took almost 10 minute
to download. 6. make sure you install the Flv plugin files in your TCPMP folder. 7. go to settings/ file association/ and check flash video. 8. when the video finish downloading, go to the folder you selected to have your videos and click the video to play. I have not tested this over wifi yet, and also the PDA youtube program downloaded the video to my main memory.

jus so u kno...theres already 2 (or more) other threads on this
great find anyway

Works Like A Champ!!! :d

Movie player

Hi guys,
just got a HP touchpad. now is there a video player on here? and if its there what format do they have to be in to view it. have tried a couple of different ones and cant get them up.
Is there a player app i can download onto it at all ?
thanks

there is a photos & videos app built in, but it's pretty poor for video.
you need to add your video files to the root of the built in storage (the tablet installs onto your computer as a removable drive).
i still haven't got my head around the video file support just yet, but it doesn't seem to handle .avi, divx, xvid etc.
mp4 seems to be the main format.
there are a couple of apps for streaming videos from a upnp media server, but nothing free as far as i can tell.
kalemsoft media player seems to be the best of these as it lets you load video files from the local storage on your tablet as well as browse for remote stuff.
i have successfully played an avi file using this app.
i've only tried the demo version so far which requires internet access in order to assess the trial period.
i don't particularly want to purchase the paid version just yet.

I used Handbrake and followed the instructions here: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html I just tried a short 45 minute kids dvd to see if it would work okay. It was about a 400mb file. Placed it in a folder called Videos on the root of the usb partition and it shows up fine in the Photos and Videos app.

see i tried doing that as well. creating a folder called videos on the root and it wasn't detected.
only when i added the file direct to root could i access it.
are directory names case sensitive?
a video player that allows you to browse and/or add directories would be much better.
EDIT: looks like i had a folder called video. changed it to videos and it shows up.
strangely enough kalemsoft creates a folder recordings. when i added a video file to that, it also showed up.

I have put my videos in the download folder and they show up in the stock player fine. Also converted DIVX avi files to MP4 with Handbrake. Used the ipad HD settings for nice quality.

Kalemsoft Media Player wil read a lot of video formats , you can find it on app catalog.

The kalemsof that i downloaded isnt displaying in full screen and sometimes will hang on my TP. Guess its still not compatible to TP yet?

Thanx for the tip about Handbrake, nunja. I'll try it for conversions. I concur with the settings...
I'm on a Pre 2 and have no problems with mp4 playing (once you get the settings down it becomes rote). For my phone I use iPod settings...
For ripping from DVD I use DVDFab3 - I know there are way newer versions out there and I tried them but always go back to version 3. I just like the UI and it has never let me down. Point it at a DVD or ISO and under Mobile click Generic. You can configure it for generic mp4 and get a resolution up to 848x480 which should be alright on the TP screen. Your settings like Resolution, bitrate, volume level, subpicture - can all be saved as a profile.
DVDFab3 in a .rar file. Just extract and it will run out of the folder without install...
