movies on the PDA?!?

[dephektr]

what kind of movies could you play on a pda? like the iPaQ 1940 says it will play movies? what is that and how does it work?

What program are you using to play the videos? I have the 1940 and I use betaplayer to play my avi files. You take your video, you convert it to avi, wmv, whatever, then copy it onto the SD card. from there, you use whatever program you like and play the video from there.

I used to put porn clips on the pocket pc I had a couple of years ago for the train ride to/from work. Never got around to using the stupid thing seriously though.

 

[dephektr]

what types of movies? could you get a 700MB divx movie to play on it?

 

[mindwreck]

yeah. sure why not. make sure the compression bitrate on the video isnt' too high. I think the max for the 1940 is about 400-500kbps. Another higher than that and the thing starts to lag adn skipping frames.

I use this, pocket encoder, to convert my video. and betaplayer to play them. both free and good.

clicky

I highly recommend Betaplayer, or TCPMP as it is now called. MP3, MP4, AAC, DivX, the lot.
