Quick question to those who are more savy than myself... I just received my Axim, and have decided to throw on some MP3's and some MPEG's... I've had a few troubles though - Initially, I set up my SD card with a couple of sub folders for the above mentioned files, and after transferring a couple MP3's, my 128 meg card was full - ?? At any rate, I cleared it out, and deleted the folders, deciding instead to just load up the SD as it was....

MP3's work fine, however, after I transfer MPEGs, I cannot play them (I was quite looking forward to having the butt sniffing chimp video in my pocket for a quick showing to the uninitiated :-) )

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers -

Windows Media Player (on PPC) will not play mpgs or mpegs, only WMA files. You can either downlaod Windows Media Encoder from MS to convert the MPGs to WMAs or download a MPG player, like PocketTV from http://www.pockettv.com

HTH,
Mike

You should really try PocketMVP I tried Media player and it did just as yours. Then I tried the PocketTV. That was a good change but still had some problems. I then tried the PocketMVP (thanks to a suggestion from someone on here) and it has worked just Great!

I have both PocketMVP and Pocket TV installed, and I've found PTV better for vids that need resizing and rotating. PMVP hangs on a rotate-resize, good otherwise. YMMV
I use PTV for mpeg, and PMVP for avi.
Persistence can pass for brilliance

I have the Pocket TV Enterprise Edition thats supposed to be faster for arm and xscale processors then the free version, to tell you the truth I think they are all below par, I use a encoder to encode videos that say they are playing at ~24-30 fps and they still look skippy to me so I dont believe it. I just dont think anyones made a good player fot the PPC yet I guess.

Thanx all - Pocket TV won the coin toss, and works very well...

I appreciate all the responses, and the speed at which they arrived.

Cheers - M
