problems playing DVDs on Ipaq

If Betaplayer won't play it it's probably like the tool's name says,
encoded in DivX format. In that case you might want to use PocketDivX
(also known as PocketMVP) to play the avi instead ;-))

OK then you need GSpot to get a definitive answer. It's a smallish
free program to determine the codecs required to render an avi stream.

Have a look at http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ at the Downloads link.

Let us know what codec combination the avi comes out as.

Glad you got it working. Next time you get it right, write down the
steps on a post-it ;-))
