Problems with saving to Windows Mobile...

[Guest]

Hello

There does not seem to be a Windows Mobile option in Movie Maker 2 when
saving the file to My Computer, if I save it as any of the Pocket PC format
and then Sync to my I-Mate SP3 using Media Player I get the following error
message: "Windows Media Player cannot convert the file to the format required
by the device" . I assume it's something to do with the codecs, is there a
Windows Mobile format available or a work around?

Many thanks in advance.

John

Hello,

I have no knowledge/experience of your mobile, but can say that provided
Windows Media Player has access to the internet it will try and download
the necessary codec.

Additional thought: does your mobile come with software that should be
installed on the PC? and obviously have you done that and does it seem to
be working OK?

80010105: Server threw an exception
Windows Media Player encountered an error while performing the requested
action. Although this error can occur in a number of circumstances, it
typically occurs when you try to synchronize a file that cannot be converted
to the format required by the device.

In this scenario, the file you are trying to synchronize was encoded
(compressed) by using an MPEG-2 codec and your device cannot play files in
this format. Windows Media Player cannot convert the file from the MPEG-2
format to the required format because a compatible MPEG-2 decoder (also
known as a DVD decoder) is not installed on your computer. To solve the
problem, you must install a compatible decoder.

The following decoders are compatible with Windows Media Player 10:
a.. CyberLink PowerDVD
b.. NVIDIA NVDVD Decoder
c.. InterVideo WinDVD

If one of these decoders is installed on your computer, it might be an older
version that is not supported by Windows Media Player 10. If that is the
case, you must upgrade to a newer version of the decoder.


Identifying the installed decoder
If you are not sure which decoder is installed on your computer, install the
Windows XP DVD Decoder Checkup Utility from the Microsoft Download Center.
You can use this utility to:
a.. Identify the MPEG-2 decoders that are installed on your computer.
b.. Identify whether the decoders are compatible with Windows Media Player
10.
c.. Choose which installed decoder you want Windows Media Player 10 to use
when synchronizing DVR-MS files to a portable device.

In some cases, the utility will suggest a Web site where an updated decoder
might be available.

If the program indicates that you do not have an MPEG-2 decoder installed,
consider purchasing one from one of the vendors listed previously.

If the utility indicates that your decoder is not compatible with Windows
Media Player 10 and the program does not suggest a Web site where an updated
decoder might be available, do one of the following:
a.. If your computer came with a DVD drive preinstalled, contact your
computer manufacturer about how to upgrade to an MPEG-2 decoder that
supports Windows Media Player 10.
b.. If you installed a DVD drive in your existing computer, contact the
DVD drive manufacturer about how to upgrade to an MPEG-2 decoder that
supports Windows Media Player 10.
c.. If you installed a DVD decoder from one of the companies listed on the
MP3 Creation Packs and DVD Decoders for Windows XP page, contact the company
about how to upgrade to an MPEG-2 decoder that supports Windows Media Player
10.

saving to windows mode in mm2 is actually neat as it will save to the
series 7 media player specs so the older versions will play well.
