Playing MPEG's on PPC!

[vaioboy]

I have several MPEG's that I wish to watch on my X30 High, but despite trying Real PPC, Win MP 10 (PPC) and BetaPlayer, none will play the MPEG format.

Is there any way I can quickly convert the short MPEGS's into AVI's?

BetaPlayer should play it for sure,there is also PocketMVP
But yes there is also a simple free encoder that will encode it to Divx (avi)

BetaPlayer wont play MPEGS - wont recognise the file.

By far one of the BEST encoders around, and it's FREE:approve:

vaioboy have you tried Pocket TV? I kid them a lot but it is a first class mpeg-1 player.

Within BetaPlayer settings you can set it to associate with what filetypes you want.Its a nice program that doesn't go associating every filetype upon install.
Did you try running Betaplayer then open the file that way?

How could I forget about PocketTV too

only betaplayer 0.082(unstable) and above will play mpeg files.

I just started using BetPlayer because I wanted to play video across my WiFi instead of loading them onto my Axim.
Beta Player works great for me.

I use pocket mvp and it works well. However, I do not recommend using it in SE landscape mode. Sometimes it works, but usually not. It has its own native landscape mode which works great. I usually save mpegs to my storage card before viewing.

It was kind of a trick finding the most recent copy of it, however. The first few places I found it had older versions.
