How can I transfer video files from my desktop computer to my dell axim 51v with windows mobile5 ?
I followed the instructions that go with windows media player 10, but on my desktop windows media player never recognizes my secure digital card which is in my dell axim. I try to synchronize but it doesn't work.
I tried to put my SD card in a card reader in my desktop pc and I can synchronize, but when I put the SD card in my dell axim and do a soft reset (to get the SD card recognized) and I open the video file it tells me there is no program connected to it. So I open windows media player but I can't get to the SD card.

Can anyone please tell me how I can get the video file (or audio file) to my dell axim?

The file was an .mpeg file.

thanks

Windows media player only pays WMV video files. You will have to download another program to play other types. The best is TCPMP which will play just about anything and its FREE. If you want your SD card to show up in windows media player while its in your axim.

You will have to get Softick Card Export II which allows the axim to act as a usb mass storage device. Or you can just use File Explorer to transfer the files to the card. A card reader is faster but you can leave the card in the axim and get access by selecting mobile device from My computer and find your SD card.

I had the same problem you are having. Everytime I wanted to sync a video using WMP10 it wanted to sync every MP3 on my system and put it on my SD card, not what I wanted. I eventually downloaded TCPMP and just copied the video that I wanted over to the SD card. Works great and I believe it is much better than WMP10.

You can also make a sync list in WMP and then tell it where to sync it to (CF or SD card, etc). That worked for me, but I also recommend TCPMP and Softick Card Export II as mentioned above.

I use TCPMP to play them and I just use the File Explore to transfer files to my CF or SD. Or if you have a card reader, transfer the files that way
