ANSWER...sort of: MPX 220 trouble playing videos

[Loki666]

I downloaded Windows Media Encoder to change my .avi files to .wmv so I can play them with WMP9 on my phone. I select the processing style to be for “portable media devices”, which I think only changes the size/resolution. The converted file then has a .wmv tag.

It will plays .wma but it will not play .wmv. It finds them in the storage card but once you select the file it will open a blank screen, sit for a min, then move on to the next file.

I know this has worked for others. Curious, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I have had similar problem while using Photo Story 3 from Microsoft. Which claims Smartphone support. I believe it is something to do with Codecs. (http://smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6724) :roll:

Mobile Media Maker from Makayama might be something to look into.

Ah f*ck it….I check out beta player and it simply blows away WMP. Plays all most everything and has an equalizer to boot. Fast Forward and Rewind…awesome! I’m really impressed. After looking at this player, it makes me wonder why they left WMP9 like they did….lame.

Check the downloads section or go here: http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/

Ah....BetaPlayer...I totally forgot about it. :oops: Should have recommended that before recommending the Media Maker.
