Video PLayback

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi All,

I have a O2 XDA. I've taken some video and decided to download it to my PC.

However, it will not play in Windows Media Player, Real or anything. The
file is an MPEG-4 and I have Media Player 10.

Does anyone have the answer?

TIA - H

Thanks for responding Tony,

I find it odd that a video recording in MS Pocket PC will not work on XP.
Surely one would expect these files to work across microsofts own
platforms - or have I missed something.

Cheers H

In all probability this sounds like a missing codec issue. Does WMP give any
message at the small taskbar at the bottom of the WMP screen when it cannot
play this file?

Thanks

I found that Apple's Quick Time Player and BetaPlayer are the best choices
to play mp4 files on Desktop and PPC respectively. I was able to play almost
all the Video file formats that are known to me, on my i-mate PDA2K.

Thanks,
