Your
Pocket PC's Windows Media Player cannot play video
files encoded in the popular MPEG format. In order
to play such files, you must download a third-party video viewing application, like PocketTV,
and install it on your Pocket
PC.
To download a free copy of PocketTV Classic, click
here.
For improved performance and other options, PocketTV
Enterprise Edition is also available for a fee.
It can be downloaded here.
After
you've installed PocketTV, you can begin watching
MPEG video. In order for your video files to play
in PocketTV - or any other audio or video program
- they must usually be in stored the "My Documents" Directory
of your Pocket PC's internal memory or Storage Card.
If you have a storage card, such as a CompactFlash,
MMC, or Secure Digital card, you can also store
music and video files there. In File Explorer, go
to your "Storage Card" folder.
Once you're in the "Storage Card" folder,
look for a "My Documents" folder. If one
does not yet exist, hold your stylus down for two
seconds on a blank area of the screen and select
"New Folder" from the menu.
Name the new folder "My Documents". Now
you have a "My Documents" folder on your
storage card for storing music and video files
to show up in a medial media player.
In either of your "My Documents"
folders, you can create sub folders to help you
keep your files straight. Create a "Music"
folder for your MP3 and WMA files and a "Video"
folder for your Windows Video Files.
