This is great help to me… I’ve been having no end of trouble moving stuff from my PC to my WM5 device. I’m going to try this when I’m back home!

Copyright law does change from country to country, but I guess if you move from one country where downloading and sharing isn’t a problem unless you sell the content [like spain at present] then go to the US with the same content in a device this is where it gets a bit sticky I’d imagine.

Still, when mashing up copyright free videos [Day of the Dead] and those that have fallen out of copyright… http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/ for personal use [like making a documentary or music video [in my case]] then your help for this article is just COOL!

Thanks again!

How to convert Windows flash plyer file to media player.

I’m also trying to convert movies to watch from an SD card on an iPaq when I travel. I followed your very helpful instructions but the resulting wmv file is only 6+ minutes long – a small part of the 80+ minute movie. What am I doing wrong? Thanks – any help is greatly appreciated.

Joel,
When you say you just had to choose the ‘voice’ option on the audio, where is the ‘audio’ you reference? I’m having the same trouble with my ipaq rx3115. It won’t play audio on .wmv files. I can’t find any voice setting on the ipaq.
Help is appreciated.
