Problem with video files in Dell Axim 5 with Pocket PC 2002

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

I'm no expert at WMP as I'm just learning myself but WMA is an audo-only
file, isn't it? So it would only contain sound. As for ASF, it seems that
WMP 10 desktop tries to use that format when synchronizing to a PPC, but I
haven't been able to play it on the PPC. I'm using Windows Media Encoder
these days which creates WMV (video) files that are what WMP reads. I'm on
WMP 10 desktop and WMP 9 on PPC WM2003 first edition.
