do you have the divx codec on your PC?

 

[Supertwin Tim]

Matt, I have not loaded the divx codec, I assume I have to, how do I do it? Thanks Tim

 

[Supertwin Tim]

Matt, I am just loading up divx now, I will let you know how I go, thanks Tim

Matt, as with all computer software issues two steps forward one step back

I loaded divx and the .avi files that I had ripped could now be viewed on Media Player and WinAmp.

The problem was I had one step to go, I syill needed to convert the .avi file to a .wma file to play on my PDA.

I read Dudeman44's advice (another thread) and Downloaded Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft's download site, unfortunately it looked like it would convert to.wma but then had an error at the end.

I then downloaded another .avi - .wma converter http://www.videoaudioconverter.com/video-converter.htm and it converted to .wma problem was the .wma created froze media player and winamp,

Sooooooo now I am on the hunt for a good .avi to .wma converter, it would be great if Slysoft just made ConeDVD output to .wma

I will start another thread and ask if anyone has used a converter that works reliably, that or find a generic player that works on windows mobile 5 ??

Thanks Tim

about that problem

I had that same problem but there is away around that you open your windows media 11 and make sure that you have your layout options checked to show classic view. then go to view and down to plugins then click on find on the web then once youve done that it will open up a web page for plugins click on other plugins then click on wmplugins.com and select xvid codec and install that will give you the codec you need to play the avi file amongest others. it is a free program and there are others to check out at the same time. give that a try and see how that goes.
