Quicktime for Pocket PC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

AFAIK there are no quicktime players for the pocket pc, you may have to
convert that file to another format.

Tried PictPocket Cinema? Otherwise, try re-encoding it to another format
as Eric has suggested.

This talks about a '14-days trial', but other sites state it's
'freeware'. Is it the same like QT on a PC? You can use it for viewing
MOV and PICT for example, but if you want more, you've got to buy the
full version?

What I mean is: will it still work after 14 days (without purchasing
the software) ?

How does one change the format from Quicktime to Media Player?

Thanks for all your help,

Usually you have to uncompress it to something like AVI, then
recompress it (windows media can do that if you sync it to the PPC).

To uncompress Quicktime you'd probably need quicktime pro ($30) first
;-p

JB> Thanks for all your help,

I'm pretty sure that I've used tsunami mpeg encoder to take a .mov file to
a mpeg, which can be watched on the ppc using pocket tv or beta player.

IIRC, it's not freeware, and I think it's a time-limited trial, so once
the days have passed, you have to purchase the full version in order to
continue using it.

Apart from the other suggestions, if you do some video editing, your
application might be able to handle it: e.g. Sony Vegas, or the like.
