Btw, I have been watching 4 CSI NY series last night on my Dell... what would I do without BetaPlayer

Hey Alex how do you watch movies on this? Also is there away for me to upload person picture and put at as my wallpaper. I am so new to this and i have no idea on what it can do. Would someone take me under there wing and teach me the ropes please.

You can watch saved movies using Beta Player, you CAN use any photo for a wallpaper. Go to yout Today settings, check "Use this picture" then browse to it. Easy as that!

I have some videos on my pc and its not mpeg. Now windows media player will play it but with no sound. Then i have to convert it from what ever it was to a mpeg which i was able todo by downloading this file. Now it says the movies are MPEG but when i open windows media player it doesnt see the videos.
1) How do i make windows media player regonize the file.
Also on my computer these plays have windows media player as its defult media player

I downloaded pockettv but its only free for 7 days and i broke the bank paying for the axim and i feel I should not have to spend more to make my videos play. Can someone help meplease. Thanks

Lexkartel,

Can't help with TV content or special file formats. But for DVDs, try DVDecrypter or Smartripper to rip and PocketDivXEncoder to encode. And BetaPlayer to play. And I think a graphics accelerator for the VGA Dell x50v is available also. All free! You can also download free old movies. See Watch PC Movies The Easy Way

I use BetaPlayer, and it's great. Plays divx (mpeg4 + mp3) on my Toshiba e405 with no problem. One of the best features seems trivial - I can start the movie and fill up the landscape screen just by tapping the video. And I pause it and go back to the main console in portrait by another tap on the screen. Just wish that (1) the playlist had an option to delete the file without going to file explorer to do it, and (2) you could enter a time to jump directly to in the file.

1) http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/
2) It is built in! Just enjoy it.
3) If you want to get email from a source other than your hotsync outlook, then all you do is to setup a mail account just as you would for a desktop machine.

Whoa you are right this does work great!!! I didnt have to even change the format this time. How do you even setup hotsync outlook? Remember i am now chaep and looking for free things that work. I had a hotpop account and it work when it wants to. So your telling me the outlook that comes with the axim can be setup for free?

Yes... all you need to do is have activesync installed and outlook. Probably that's already done if you are syncing your appointments. From outlook you can set up mail accounts. All you need is your server addresses from your ISP. Check out this thread for more info...
