Help playing .wmv files from Microsoft
Ok, I downloaded tutorials from Microsoft, such as those found here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...g/default.aspx and they play fine on my pc but not using WMP on my Axim x51v. The audio plays fine but no video. Any suggestions of what I am doing wrong, or does MS not support MS videos on Window Media Player on the Axim? | |||

I would try another player. Install TCPMP coreplayer for free. Do a search on Aximsite and you will find the download. Download the file named 0.72RC1. After it's installed, open the player, select options, select settings, select page, select file associations, and I just check all boxes to make it easy. Then try to play your wmv. files. IF it works you know there is a problem with wmp and you can look deeper.

wmp on the axim can only handle ppc resolutions the videos you are trying to watch are either too big in resolution or too high of a bitrate for the mobile wmp tcpmp can handle higher bitrates and resolutions if you can get it to play .wmv

I've tried it. TCPMP gives a Player:Video codec (Windows Media Video 9 Screen) not supported by the player error. | ||||

Yep. I vote TCPMP as well. The bitrate for WMP11 is WAY low compared to what it can actually handle. TCPMP enables play of these higher bitrates, but even IT can't handle some. Its only a MINI PC remember.....
just a 624MHz, 256MB HD, 64MB RAM, 16MB video card... Quite slow compared to what normally plays these videos today. edit: Whoa...didnt see that last part there. Let me try those vids as well...... | ||||||||||

That is really odd...not only can I play them in WMP11, or TCPMP, but the Mac version of WMP also cannot play these files.
MPlayerOSX, DIVX Player....nothing. Guess you have to have the WINDOWS version of Windoes Media Player to do these....stupid Microsoft. | ||||||||||

Its a very specific WMV9 codec that for some reason no PPC player developer has bothered to try to support, which is a pity, because the files they produce are extremely small with high quality because it is specifically created to capture screen output where the picture doesnt change a lot and the colour palette is small. | |||||||
