Hi guys.

I own an iMate PDA. Sometimes known as an O2.

Naturally it runs Windows Pocket PC. I uploaded a music video in Movie File (MPEG) format but it in unable to be played due to no application being available for it.

My questions:

1. Is there an application available for download

2. and can anyone point me to one?

3. Or is there some way to convert this file to some thing else (what???) that WILL play?

My goal is to be able to play short videos and music clips that are stored as mpegs.

Thanks in advance.

Try PocketTV

or PocketDivX

You may need to reencode these files at a lower size and quality to get them to play at full speed. You can use a tool like this one (http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html) to do this.

Excellent. Thanks Wiz. I used the pocket TV and the compressor and am very satisfied. I can now watch the kinky Eric Prydz "Call Me" music video at work and suddenly find myself with many more friends than previously.

Owe you one..........!
