[b] I don't wanna sound like an idiot but without instructions for most of my phones content thats what i feel like!!

I've managed to put music onto the phone by using my SD Card fair enough and having read the other post on this forum I managed to figure out how to put video on. Thats where the good times end.

To get video footage on i had to encode from AVI to WMV but its very jerky, sound is good and quality is ok but play back isn't great.

If I was to put a movie onto an SD how would I go about doing that without it being a massive file, someone else where said they managed to get the matrix to 150mb and good quality.

I have a few more questions but I'll hold fire with those for the minute, thanks in advance to anyone who offers advice

cheers

Ok, I've been trying to find a good solution for you for the past 30 minutes, but I can't figure out how to import custom encoding profiles (anyone know)?

So here's the other option:

http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/in...?topic_id=4751

1) Download and install the Winter Fun Pack
2) Start up Windows Media Movie 2.0
3) import your video
4) Do a Save to my Computer and select a custom profile - you should see the Smartphone 2002 and 2003 options listed
5) Render, and you're done :-)

I don't think video on a Smartphone will be all that cool until we get a true full-screen mode and landscape support.

Let me know how it goes!

Any Ideas for someone not using Windows XP?

Are there any decent programs that will encode and shrink files etc out there thats freeware?

The post you were referring to was from me.

I was not creating a WPV file which was hard to decipher from that post. It was a MPG file created using the programs listed in the post referenced above.

All of the programs listed in the referenced post above are FREE including the Smartphone program that I used to view the MPG files on the phone...PocketTV which can be found at http://www.pockettv.com

This program will allow you to view the movied landscaped on the phone and the website also has a pretty good HOW TO guide on how the whole process works.

It takes a long time to rip a movie and re-encode it so be prepared...at least a 4 hour process.

There is also a how to guide located here
http://www.pockettv.com/encoding.html

I also remember template downloads located somewhere with predefined settings for pocketpcs and smartphones but I cant remember where they are.
I have them but there is no way to attach them here on this site. Email me if you want them at ncornaglia@comcast.net
