Viewing Media Center recordings on a Pocket PC

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

Hi,

I have a Media Center PC (2005) and would like to know if it is possible to
transfer the tv recordings (in a sufficiently compressed format) to my
Pocket PC so that I can view them while on the road.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Thanks Sven.

I have an HP MCE and a Windows mobile 2003 PC. I did not know that its as
easy as using MP10.

Thanks again

My ppc manufacturer does not provide MP10 yet :-(
