Copy them using ActiveSync, just like you would copy any other file... That simple.

If you don't have a storage card, depending on the size of the video files, you may not have enough in your main memory.

it doesnt work, is there any program i need or a converter?

What exactly is not working? you can not copy the file? How big is the file? what is the file format/extension? Let me know what exactly is the problem...

I personally have managed to copy a 512 movie to my SD card using ActivSync

Also, I recommend that you do not use Windows Media Player for your media files other than music. Try TCPMP, it is free and it can play most of the codecs/media formats currently out there.

i copied the file onto my CF card on the ppc, when i go in the ppc, i click the file and it says no program can open it blablabla. Then i go inside Windows media player and try to open the file but the file doesnt show on the screen

The file is not a file that Windows Media Player can play...

Download TCPMP.

http://<br /> http://corecodec.org/...224#r224<br />

If this program can not play it, you may be out of luck...

FYI - There is still no program that can play .mov or some .avi (depending on the codec used to encode) if your file is one of these, you may not be able to play it.

I am a big fan of TCPMP & it's one of the first thing I'd installed to my axim... therefore I've never tried WMV or for a matter of fact ...any media files with WMPlayer ... therefore I would never have guess :p

I thought WMV file IS native to WMPlayer ...!

WMV can be played on the win media player
check the size and/or confirm the format. avi cannot play on default windows media player

My above reply was intended for the message right before RELOAD25 posted the file type. Usually when you tap on a file and the pocket pc says "no program can open it blablabla" 1 of 2 can be the reason...

The file type is not associated with the application that SHOULD open it OR the file is simple not compatible with the program you are using...

Sorry for the confusion... You are correct WMV IS NATIVE to WMPlayer

Does the file play on your normal PC?

If so, then either you haven't been successful copying it to the PDA or the files' codec is simply not compatible with the video viewer(s) on your PDA.

The best way to make movies for your PDA is to use FAIRUSE 2.
