DivX playback?

[strang]

anyone know if WMP that we get on WM5 plays back DivX or XviD files natively?

if not is there a codec set compiled available online?

No you have to use a 3rd party player like TCPMP.

 

[IMate->WM2k5]

Actually WMP supports codecs, so you need to find appropriate Pocket-PC compiled codec for DivX and configure WMP to use it.

Another thing is change your DivX header to MS-MPEG4 and try to play that. This is not applicable to Xvid movies

It would probably be easier and better playback to use TCPMP anyway.

TCPMP is very, very good!

TCPMP ??!

If you install TCPMP, will it replace WM player ?? what will happen ??

 

[gerazzo]

it's only another app.
