Hey there ladies & gents...... I'am having trouble playing MPEG's on my Axim. I transfer them right to the unit, syncing it through the cradle, and also tried putting them on a CF and SD card, and they still will not play, it says there is no application associated with the file and to run the application and try to open this file within the application, and still no dice...... I have tried multiple files, and none work.... Am I doing something wrong, or is this another thing I can thank Dell for.....
The problem is the WAY you are putting them on your card. (I had this same problem)
You can't just drag and drop them on the card, you need to go into Media Player and synch them through that onto the card. (It does some reformatting).
1. Open windows media player
2. Click the 'sync' tab
3. Many ways to load movies, I prefer to drag and drop, onto left hand section.
4. Make sure they are checked
5. Click 'start sync' button
6. Wait!
I hate 6 the most, the first time it has to recode the movies can take a bit.
Get TCPMP. It may not look as pretty as WMP (this is arguable), but it is far superior in terms of functionality. It will play your mpegs, mp3s, AVIs, and make your breakfast too. Well, maybe not that last one :P

don't really need .mp3 or .AVI as those are converted upon sync w/wmp & the converted wma/wmv takes less space. I would probly only use tcpmp for mpeg4
yeah tcpmp plays like anything i throw at it.. its godly... but i do like wmp pretty colors. and i dont know what that other guys talking about i drap and drop all the time. TCPMP IS GOD..without skin

The other person is saying that instead of dragging the mpeg to the memory card, sync it using WMP 10/11 on the Desktop PC to the PocketPC. WMP desktop will automatically convert the file to a pocketpc friendly format and will also reduce the size of the file aswell.

yea that's right I had an experience w/that, this was back in jan, I downloaded beyonce's "check on it" it was a 50mb mpeg and it converted to .wmv and its size was only like 10mb and the specs were wmv9 wma9.1 64kbps 48khz stereo bitrate 300kbps.
I have the same problem but I assume this has to do with the format of the file being synced / copied. I would like someone to either confirm or set me straight with regard to what is going on.

But it may be needed to purchase some plugin for WMP 10 to to do that.
Microsoft says only 3 or 4 DVD decoders are compatible with WMP 10 to
do such conversion during sync.
I had WMP 10 with older InterVideo WinDVD and could not convert.
