Could show videos once, but now get black screen

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

I've captured some recorded TV using Media Center. I then used DVR2WMV to
convert them to WMV files. Once there, I used the Windows Media Encoder to
convert them for PocketPC. This gives me about a 55Mb file for a 30-minute
TV program.

I copied two of them to my Pocket PC 2003 (with the latest Media Player
update) Dell Axim 30, and was able to watch them fine. Two weeks later, I
repeated the process. However, now, when I try to watch them, I get the
audio but a black screen for the video. As far as I can tell, I followed the
exact same process to create the videos. I can't find any kind of adjustment
on the PocketPC Media Player that changes this. I have not installed any new
software on the PocketPC, just copied over some new videos. The videos all
play fine on my laptop.

Any ideas?
