=============================
Apparently reading the info at the link I
posted is too much trouble.
Here's what it says....
"Watch it at home: Enjoy your stories on any
PC with Windows Media Player 7 or higher"
This same requirement applies to playing all
versions of Photo Story files.
This is from the help file: "If you want to play your stories on
portable devices that do not have Windows Media Player 10 Mobile
installed, you can use Microsoft Windows Movie Maker to import your
story, and then save it by using the Windows Movie Maker Pocket PC profile."
I did some experimenting and indeed it seems to be true. I was not able
to create a WMV file that could be played on my iPAQ 2215 (only
available with WMP 9). As reported by an earlier poster, the audio plays
but the video remains black. I tried using Nero to re-encode the file,
but Nero puts up a message saying their license doesn't allow them to
re-encode WMA files. I then used MovieMaker2 to re-encode the file to
320 x 240 at 30fps. The result was a bit choppy, but it did play on my
iPAQ. I will run further re-encoding experiments tomorrow, but at this
time I will probably use PhotoStory 2 to create files for my iPAQ
(although the new features of PhotoStory 3 are very alluring).
