Video Converting

[Jamesje]

I have recently got an HTC TyTN II and i have been wanting to watch movies with it. Is there a way to convert movies into a format so the WMP on it will play them or the Video Player because the .avi files wont play on either. If there is a special format to use are there any programs to convert them to that format?

Thanks in advance

First off, the HTC Tytn II is the Kaiser, not the Titan ;)

You should use TCPMP to play all your videos because it plays a wide variety of formats. I personally have a few preconverted stuff that play excellently on my phone (in mp4 format).

Honestly, I tried to do what you wanted, and gave up with trying to watch movies via WMP.

Instead, I use the free DIVX player whcih playes .avi.

I then, after trying almost every ripping software out there, ended up with SPB DVD Magic which admittedly is something you have to pay $24.95 for, but it works better than any other program free or share that I tried. It rips copy-protected DVDs (only those I personally own!) at a 25 fps rate with a variety of settings for aspect ratio, etc. and does it in the shortest amount of time and with the best quality to file size ratio I have seen.

The playback on my DIVX player is very nice, even with the Mogul's substandard video playback and internal memory.

With my 16GB memory card I have over 8 full length movies on my ppc (along with every CD Rom I own) and have room for about 5-6 more movies.

I highly recommend the SPB DVD Magic and DIVX player route.

I use Windows Movie maker or one of the other such things to convert the AVI to a WMP. I also resize it to the PDA screen, 320 X 240. Then I can get a lot of movies on my card and they play well.
