Does anybody know of any video editing software which works with the Topaz?
The only one i can find details for on wm6 is http://www.trakax.com/software/mobile/trial_version/ however this won't work on the Topaz's screen resolution.
Thanks!
None that I know of...
I run a media production company, and I've got a very basic media "workstation" on my topaz already - a mini Photoshop (pocketartist), a mini Cubase (meteor), MS Office, several audio capture and editing programs, but there are 2 things I need to make draft versions for clients on the move. A simple html editor, although I can use Notepad, and a simple video editing program.
The only thing that I've found was the software you also found. It looks quite capable for simple mockups, and is reasonably priced, but was let down by the lack of wvga support. I did email them to ask about this and they said they'd have it sorted sometime in July!
But if anybody knows a good alternative, or decent html editor, I'd really appreciate a nod in the right direction.
On another note, I am still amazed every day that I can have all this software on my everyday phone, that only a few years ago was unthinkable. I can sit on a train and do what I do in the office, with music playing too!

Hey guys and gals, I have tried launching a .asx (streaming windows video file) file through netfront. Even though I add it to the list of external applications in the browser settings, when I click on a stream it just opens a new window and does nothing else.
So far the only browser that works with streaming video is PIE, Opera takes up too much memory unfortunately. So does anyone know how to fix this?
This is really getting on my nerves. Has no one else tried streaming video content through Netfront? I want it to work!
I responded to another post you made about this before seeing this specific one: You are close and it really doesn't take much more than setting the association properly in NF. It went very smoothly when I set it up when 3.5 first was released. I gave up using the browser since it requires more ram than my puny Treo can offer so cannot be of much further help than this.
But trust me it works once you set the association properly so keep trying...
The built-in Windows Media Player has always suffered from a major flaw: it didn’t support resuming the song from the last position after restarting the player. XDA-Devs forum member Wolfman-XP (the same guy that has also developed AVRCP support for GSPlayer) has fixed this: he has released a plug-in that remembers the last position where you press(ed) the Pause button. (Note that you MUST press Pause; as opposed to players natively supporting resume, this is a restriction – but not that a big one.)
Compatibility
I’ve tested it on the following devices:
- HTC Wizard with AMP’s WM6.1 ROM and custom WMP skin
- HTC Universal with WM6.1 Tomal’s ROM version 7.7
- HTC Vox / s710 MS Smartphone with the factory WM6.0 ROM (this January)
- HTC Oxygen / s310 MS Smartphone with the factory WM5 AKU3 ROM
- Dell Axim x51v standalone (no-phone) PDA with WM6.1
- HP iPAQ 210 standalone (no-phone) PDA with factory WM6.0
Of these devices, it was only on the HP iPAQ 210 that it didn’t work at all; all the others did, even the WM5-based models and the non-phone x51v.
Installing, using
Just download the hack HERE, in the first post, install it and off you go. Remember pressing Pause at the position you want it to remember.
After restarting WMP, it’ll take you to the Library (and not the Now playing) screen. To quickly return to the latter, on touchscreen-enabled PPC’s, click the Back arrow in the upper right corner; on MS Smartphones, just press the Back hardware button. (Alternatively, you can go to Now Playing / Play.)
Restrictions
In addition to not being compatible with the HP iPAQ 210 (and, possibly, some other devices), it isn’t able to correctly re-position in AAC files (I’ve tested both standard and HE-AACv2 files). WMA’s and MP3’s, on the other hand, work just great.
Note that...
I’ll publish a LOT of multimedia-related articles in the near future – stay tuned!
Opps! wrong place...
nice... Wolfman-XP you are the man
but Menneisyys what do you think how many people do use wmplayer...because of his pretty dumb,not flexible,and not natural interface,or the usage
tcpmp (called the core player these days) really put the standards high (supported files and intelligent interface without too much crapping around)
pocketmusic is also great...but wmplayer seems to be out of date and overcame

yeah you are right and i really really appreciate people's work around here
but it's MS it can't be that good anyway,untill there are about10-15 hacks which our good people developed and not MS
so we have a WMplayer mutation...a player that evolved from wmp ...and in the end after many hacks it will be a whole new player on a totally different base and with different features
i can't be that reckless (because my programming level is average) and ask if it would be better to make a new one instead of developing wmp
but thanks guys people don't forget good stuff and good guys

It is worth fixing what already exists and supports video as well as audio. It may not be the most intuitive design (simplicity is better) but it is what comes with windows and works with most codecs. mainly important for familiarity, and audio video capabilities.
compatability with IPAQ 210 series
I just wanted to say that I have an IPAQ 214 and the resume plugin works OK.
It wasnt a surprise when I read it wouldnt work- loads of software seems to be unable to cope with HPs install of WM6 - but I am happy to say this isnt one of them (at least for me ;-) )
Does the plugin also work on a htc diamond??
thanx...
Kaiser here, WM 6.1
While all the options work fine, I was curious to see if it worked with shuffle switched on. While you keep your playlist, you lose the last spot on launch and you get a re-shuffle. I can understand why. Any chances of getting an option to disable Shuffle on launch? When listening to a two hour long set losing my position can be a little annoying.
Despite this, very good plugin! I was looking for a way to get around the Camera closing Windows Media Player when it opened. While this doesn't fix that, it solves the missing playlists for when it does! Sweet work.
Was wondering if this will work with WMP 12, if so could someone please help this rookie as how to get this loaded into WMP. Thanks in advance....scotty
Is there any new audiobook software then???????????

Damd good question.
As most of you know, microsoft keep bringing out "Windows Live" software, which they are using to replace several windows apps. One of these is "Windows Live Movie Maker" which is replacing "Windows Movie Maker"
Its incredibly easy to use, but you can choose to output a movie in a format perfect for ppcs. All you have to do, is drag & drop the video you want to convert, then click on "output" and then "for portable device" or something.
Then it saves it as another video file, brilliant for PPC viewing.
The drawbacks:
Because its made by Microsoft, the formats it can use are limited. Admitedly, WLMM is still in Beta, but I doubt it will get any more compatible with other formats.
Just thought that I would share this with you all. It got me excited because i dont have to search for dodgy conversion software or anything. Plus, it looks prety. (well, as far as software goes)
Heres a link to the windows live package thingys:
http://download.live.com/
Hope someone finds it useful.
my favourite media conversion tool is called SUPER (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer)
website:www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html
and the hard to find download link: http://www.erightsoft.info/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe
One of the best freeware (or any) conversion software you will find. Can literally conver ANYTHING to ANYTHING with no cut back on the type of settings you can alter. Really does allow you to optimize the conversion not only to cater your PPC, but as well as your actual device in great detail.no extra crap installed with this app. Guarantee that anyone using this will be extremely satisfied. Try it out and let me know what you think. btw not my app (don't think i'm trying to push it just for the sake of it) just an admirer.
Hi. Hope that this is the correct place to post...
I have been playing this weekend with a Foobar plugin that allows web control.
The web interface that this plug-in creates is skin-able, and indeed somewhat predictably there are already a couple of i-phone themes available. I did get them working well with the HTC HD2.
However the graphics quality is not stellar when an i-phone designed interface is scaled up, so I started having a poke at the javascript code for myself... I am no coder by any means, so I have been adapting other peoples work noteably the IxoFith template at the above link...
So far I have a HTC music playeresque theme working, with the odd glitch here and there, I reckon that a talented javascript programmer could do a lot more a lot faster than I can, anyone up for it?
I will continue to fettle this and eventually will post my code at "Justblair's Audio and Electronics Pages" but if you are interested in seeing what damage a ham fisted amateur can do to some competently written code, either comment at my site or contact me through here and I can get it to you..
It is very scrappy at the moment, though functional. I tried to post images, but outside links are a no no for newbies here. Google my site name if you want a taster. Hopefully the mods will lift the restriction soon.
Off-topic, but another way:
GRemote works VERY well with WinAmp, allowing you to browse all your PC files on your HD2, and play or queue files/folders in WinAmp (even tho I hate WinAmp!). You can also launch any file in whatever app you choose, so I can browse all my movies in a very slinky, fast-scrolling manner on my HD2, and whichever one I click starts playing full-screen (e.g. VLC, GomPlayer etc), and a swipe on my phone then gives me Play/Pause, fast-forward, rewind, volume, next file, full-screen/windowed etc.
Just a suggestion if you like finding new ways to play your media

That's worth a look I am sure. I have tried the freebie version of G-remote which is of course a little limited. I did have a few crashes when using the free version of G-remote, kinda put me off spending on it.
I also happen to like foobar as it has the plug-ins needed to run it as an "audiophile" source, i.e. wasapi and native flac playback. I used winamp a while back and did not like it. I dare say it has improved since then.
Hello, this has probably been talked about before, but I wanted to let anyone interested know how this is working out. I have been doing extensive research on the purchase of a new MP3 player wanting the main features to have Bluetooth A2DP and audible.com compatible.
I realized these features are far and few between, and the players that have these two features are the size of your average WM Phone. When I finally came to this conclusion, I pulled out my old HTC Diamond and have been able to not only have these features, but by turning off the cell radio, I still have wifi, pmp, mp3, A2DP, web browser, touchscreen, etc etc all in one. Needless to say, I love my Diamond again.
I made my today screen bare with just iLauncher on it and wisbar to take away the phone features on top. Other than the hardware buttons, it looks and feels like a good solid MP3 player. Hope this may let other old phones see the light of day again. Thanks for reading.
I gave my old HTC Wizard to my 19 month old daughter to watch her Dora and Yo Gabba Gabba videos on, she also likes the obscene amount of buttons that phone has. So yea, that phone is pretty much just a media player now.
Then allow me to ask then for advise!
I use MediaMonkey on windows to organize my music. I like the program, it suites my needs.
The problem is on the WM phone itself. Which program do you use to listen to music? I've tried Nitrogen, and iMulator... both of them work as they're supposed to. But i could use more. iMulator need to mature, and be a little more customizable. But for a alpha stage, its quite good!
I could use a program with a good media library, probably fullscreen support, touch friendly.
Any advise ?
