Playing mpeg files on an XDA2

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

Windows media for Pocket PC / XDA can't play MPEG files. You can
rename them what you like, it won't help (nor will it convert the file
type, MPEG is entirely different than .wma files !)

Get pocket TV if you want to play them : http://www.pockettv.com/ and
see if that helps. I think you'll need the smartphone version, it may
differ from those for PocketPCs.
