Just use BetaPlayer, it's free.

Yeah, BetaPlayer is much better than PocketTV.
In last version with plugins it plays not only AVI but MPG, WMV, OGG
and many sound formats.
If they will make stream video and audio support MS should replace WMP with
BetaPlayer.

My mistake, my version is 0.5, not 1.0.
Just open your own link

Last time I checked there was only a .9x unstable version (which worked
fine) and the .5x stable version.

The site (betaplayer.corecodec.org) seems to be down at this writing, but
I'll check back later. I would like wmv support for a bunch of pre-existing
recordings - betaplayer skips commercials much better than mp.

There are 2 versions (branches) : A release branch currently at 0.5,
and an 'unstable' or 'beta' branch currently at version 0.096.

It happens that the unstable 'beta' is rather more stable than the
majority of full-release software, so I'd stick with that ;-)

Cheers - Neil

The most recent (stable) version is 0.5.

I've switched from unstable 0.095 to stable 0.5 without a problem.
