Hi I've got a x30 and I don't find a solution to encode my movies... I've tried Dr Divx and POcket divx encoder3.50 but i'ts impossible to read them on my axim. No pictur and no sound...
Could someone help me ?

I would suggest trying betaplayer http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/ to see if the problem may be with your player. Also you may need to install DivX onto your Axim but it has been about a year since I first set mine up so I am not sure. Good Luck though.

I use a program called DVD to Pocket PC from http://www.makayama.com/dvdtopocketpc.html . It works great for me and I can use the Windows media player on my Axim to play the movie. Put the dvd in your pc, open the DVD to Pocket PC program and hit 1 button, wait 5 hours and you're done. I put a dvd in before I go to bed and wake up to another movie for my Axim. :)

PocketDivXEncoder produces *.AVI files. Windows Media Player will not read these, so do as balloonchasers says and use BetaPlayer which will.

DVDtoPocketPC produces *.WMV files which WMP will read. BetaPlayer should read them as well, but only if you download the correct codec.

BetaPlayer is a much better player than WMP because, among other things, it has a graphic equaliser and allows you to control brightness, contrast and saturation (color). You can also select the correct aspect ratio.

Do you know what codec I need to download to view wmv files on betaplayer?

You need the asf.setup file from This Site

I did download this file and installed it into my X3. It wiped out all the data in my X3 and this has never happened before. I had to reinstall all apps (big pain) to only try it again and have it not work. I am using version .90 and I used the .90 asf plug in.

Any suggestions???

i love pocketdivxencoder. gives you just enough features without getting too complex. any tweaking i want to do i use virtualdub.

pocketmvp is a good player. plays many different formats.

you could go an entirely different route and download windows media encoder 9 to encode in wmv format. there is even a default setting to encode to widescreen ppc. can't get much easier than that.
