how to put a movie on 8125?

(i have a cingular 8125 with a 2gb mini sd card) ok.. so i have the movie on my computer.. i have shrunk it to bout 800mb.. and it opens with quicktime.. quicktime doesn't have the right codec to play it therefor i downloaded VLC.. a program which supports it and will play the movie.. the aspect ratio is 320X240 but from here i don't know what to do.. i'm kinda new at this but would love to learn do i need to download any applications on my phone or will windows media player support it..

What you need is . . . . .
Pocket DivXEncoder : http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1224
and . . . .
TCPMP : http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Pocket DivXencoder allows you to convert the files and TCPMP allows you to play the files. Both are freeware. A 90 minute movie will come out at about 200Mb.

the movie is on my mac.. not my pc.. and i don't know how to get it off of it because the quciktime movie has to be opened with VLC for it to play

Ahh....the trials and tribulatioins of us superior beings....
Well, to make this short, you basically have 3 options to choose from.
1. Use an adapter to transfer the files directly to the card. You will need 2 adapters actually. One for mini SD ->SD and another to connect SD-> USB. This is probably the easiest and most straight forward method
2. Get MissingSync for WindowsMobile. This option is only valid if you want to also sync playlists with iTunes and PIM information with iCal and Address Book. The reliability of large transfers is sketchy but I think it works very well on newer Macs.
3. "That's what you got wifi for" If you Mac is connected to a network that has a wireless access point somewhere on it. You can "download" the movie from you Mac over wifi. I have done this a few times to get around the sketchiness of MissingSync. You can also transfer the file from your Mac to your PC and use ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. I can give you more info. After you pick a specific option.

hahaha, I love how mac people have to use WINDOWS Mobile... Where is your Mac OS Mobile? Hmmmm....?
hahaha

how to transfer > 220MB file to MDA
hi,
just download the program and converted 1 movie to about 220mb. I used activeSync to transfer files to MDA. For some reason, it can't be synchronized. Can anyone let me know how to transfer it from pc to MDA.
Thanks

when dealing with big files you should go purchase a card reader makes it 10x easier...check out my site in the sig for videos, ringtones and more.

Or you can just get a program like Card Export II which lets your Wizard (8125) act like a thumb drive and you can just drag the file to your storage card.
I use Card Export II and it works great on my Macbook Pro.

Pocket DVD Studio:
It allows you to rip just about any DVD to any size. You can make Windows Media files or .AVI files (which I prefer). You make them in the range of 125m to 225megs and you can fit a dozen movies on a 2g chip.
For the .AVI, you'll have to get a CODEC file for your PC, but that's free (XviD 1.0), and you'll have to download a different player than WM, but BetaPlayer, that they also provided free, is a FAR nicer player than WM. You don't have playlists and transfers and all that nonsense. You simply open the file you want and play it. Also BetaPlayer will go to Landscape mode just by tapping the screen. I just found out they now call it: TCPMP (and I see they have it for SmartPhones--wonder if it will run on my Samsung D-820?)
It's at PQDVD.com.

I don't know...you need a different util to create .3gp files. They make one, but there's another called Super @ that is shareware. It's tricky to use but does work. You have to play with settings.

thanks.. i was wanting to put it on my card.. and then just play it from my phone.. but the mac won't play the avi file because it doesn't have the right codec.. so i have VLC on my mac and it will play on the mac.. and i don't know where to go from there.. if i put it on the card i didn't think windows media player would play it.. i don't know the step by step procedure.. i'm new at this so just call me blonde..

Dude....

TCPMP will play .3gp just fine. I think that the WMP version on the Wizard may also play .3gp since you can save your cam movies in that format. .3gp is a mobile version of h.264 or actually I think its actual name is h.263. Anyway if you get QuicktimePro (look for a serial code online). You can encode/transcode just about anything into that format. Oddly enough it even works on files that Quicktime claims it can not play.

Cool, I used to use these files on my old P900 and they seemed to compres really well...have to experiment a bit....

Mac Vidoe Converting
we macusers rock, and u just need visualhub, it does the job in about 15 minutes, in any code in any size, and of course, use tcmp for watching it on your ppc.
go versiontracker and grab visualhub
drag and drop the file ( whatever ist is) into it, choose the output size and codec and click run, u can send it dircetly to your storage card by choosing the output folder.

Came up with a cool use for the Card Export program and the Xbox 360!

From the title alone you may already know where this is going ;-)
If you have a xbox 360, you may know that you can plug USB Mass storage devices (USB Hard drives, flash drives, mp3 players, etc) into any of it's USB ports, and the 360 will stream media (Photos, videos, and audio) off it. It's quality is great, and it streams video / photos in high definition - up to 1080p (and with the fall update, it will do 1680 x 1050 to on VGA for 22" widescreen monitors etc). With audio - it does nice visualizatons too, and if you hit the "guide" button while in a game you can control the music too to provide your own background music (it also allows for independent volume adjustment, track changing, etc etc). It's real slick...
Well it dawned on me when I plugged in my phone to my 360 via mini USB to charge it, that if I flipped Card Export on, the phone's MicroSD card becomes a USB mass storage device... got curious and, sure enough, if you enable Card Export while it's hooked up to a 360, you can stream media of the MicroSD!!!
It works GREAT just like any other mass storage device! Now all the Picture's I've saved on my phone I can view on the TV in HD, plus all the MP3's etc I've saved on their I can play thru my surround :-D
Only thing that didn't work that I hoped it would, was 3g2 / 3gp cellphone video. No go on that. Oh well. It will play the other video format though yay!
I guess this isn't much of a hack, just putting two and two together, but maybe someone else can use this idea

Hay that's a cool idea! What version of card export have ya tested it on? I am running 3.12 on my mogul.

Tried this with 3.12 and it worked as advertised. (Tried WM5torage and wasn't able to get this to work). CardExport II was the only successful option...

Where could I get a licenced version of this card reader?

Found out there is another program that provides this functionality too, from no2chem, called neuMassStorage:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueMassStorage.aspx
it's donationware, and supposedly provides the same end functionality, though I haven't tried it as I already am a licensed owner of Card Export and like it's interface.

I'm running the latest, 3.13. Doesn't look like much changed that would effect us.

Dlna on HTC hd mini?

Hi
i had a NAS which has dlna. I want to use my HTC hd mini to play file on My Nas through dlna. Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks

+1
I would be interested too

Try Pocket Player, works just fine for me streaming MP3s from my Twonky based media server.

i did folowing this instruction and my hd mini play well:
Sure, it probably won't meet the DLNA certification, but with all the excitement of the WP7 based LG devices getting DLNA Play-To, we thought we'd figure out how to handle this on Windows Mobile.
What this will enable you to do...
Access your PC's media library and play back on your phone
Access your phone's media library and play it on your computer
Stream items from your phone onto your computer or DLNA-enabled device.
That's right. You'll be able to literally broadcast pictures, videos, or music off of your phone and straight onto the 52", just like the LG Optimus 7 can.
Getting Started
You will need to download three things to get started:
1) Samsung Media Server here.
2) PocketPlayer, available free for 30 days from here.
3) PocketPlayer UPnP plugin from here.
Step 1
Attach your device to ActiveSync, and extract the Samsung Media Server package. Copy the DLNA folder to the root of your Storage Card (eg \\Storage Card\\DLNA).
Step 2
Run PocketPlayerSetup.exe on your computer. Make sure that your device is connected before doing so. Follow the installation on your device, and install it to your Device memory.
Step 3
Extract the gen_upnp.zip file, and place the DLL in your install path for PocketPlayer. In our case, this was \\Program Files\\PocketPlayer\\
Step 4
Start WiFi, then run \\Storage Card\\DLNA\\SamsungMediaServer.exe. Nothing will appear on your device's screen, but the server will continue to run. If you go to your PC at this time, you should see "HD2" under Other Libraries in Windows Media Player. If not, make sure both devices are on the same network connection.
Step 5
In our case, we will be streaming to our Windows 7 desktop. Under Stream in Windows Media Player, enable "Remote control of my Player".
Step 6
On your device, run PocketPlayer from the start menu. Click Browse, and select Network. In the listing, you should see your destination device, as well as "HD2". Set the playback to your destination device, such as your Windows 7 PC.
Step 7
In the device listing on your phone, select HD2. This should display your phone's library. If not, make sure all your media content is located in \\Storage Card\\My Documents. Select an item, and it should be broadcasted onto your Windows 7 computer (or whatever device you have selected.) If it is, you're done! Keep your WiFi on and you can share pictures, video, and music with your DLNA destination device.
If you have any questions or clarifications, let us know in the comments. This method took roughly 10 minutes, using a HTC HD2 and a Windows 7 computer with Windows Media Player.

Downloading Files Through The Browser/Apps On WP8?

I remember reading a article that windows phone 8 has a new api out that for example would let u download a mp3 through the browser and add it to your media library on the device without needing to sync w/ a computer to do this.
has anyone tested this out yet? is it possible?
also if this is possible would i be possible for us to have a winrar/winzip app on wp8 now and download those file types and add the contents to our media library all on the device? or even a file explorer of some sorts since we are now able to send/receive music files from what ive been reading
heres a article on apps adding music/media into the music hub
Windows Phone 8 has new API for loading music from Apps into the Music Hub | WMPoweruser
"Winphoneviet, who leaked the most recent Windows Phone 8 SDK, reports that the SDK has new APIs, including one called SaveSongOperation which allows one to load music into the Xbox Music Library, just like developers can now save pictures to the Picture Hub.
The freedom would for example allow developers to download music from the internet and add it to the music bug, or transfer music via Bluetooth and do the same."

I tried to download an MP3 from sound cloud trought Internet explorer on my lumia and it only streamed the file,it wouldn't let me download it in order to save it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Indeed...
I just did a standard "press and hold" and there was no download option (open in a new tab, copy link, and share link).
That is very disappointing.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 4 play DRM protected WMA?

Hey guys,
Yesterday we've bought a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (8gb) and today I have a little problem...
When I try to move wma files (which are drm protected) from my pc to the tablet, I'm unable to move them (windows tells me the device doesn't respond or was disconnected). If I just copy them to the sd card using an sd card reader, I'm able to do so, but if I try to play the files on my tablet, they just skip every few seconds and I don't get any sound...
Could it be the that tablet doesn't support drm? The guy from the samsung support chat told me wma is supported and there's a system app called "drm protected content storage", but this app is not present on the tablet and he didn't knew much more about this, so he told me to write an email to the support for more help!
After all, I believe the Tab 4 doesn't support drm anymore (my tab 3 10.1 does!), is that true?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I'm aware, the stock music player and samsung music players don't have a way to access the servers needed to validate the DRM on some files. It can play DRM protected music purchased through Google or Samsung, and probably other tablet specific services like Amazon, but if you bought the song on a PC from some source like Windows Media Player, it may only work on Microsoft devices like a Windows Phone or Zune player. You'll need to remove the DRM protection, or see if Windows can convert the file to MP3/MP4 before transferring it (also, try using Kies to sync rather than just dropping files on the MTP drive)
