QBa Registered User Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Yukon, Canada Posts: 47	Sorry for reviving an old thread, but it seems this is the logical place to post my question. I followed the directions, and after many hours I had a video on my ZZire 72. After aboout a minute or so, the screen darkened, with a notice that MMPlayer was in trial mode only. So far so goo. I turned the video off at that point. When I went to show someone the lastest great thing my pda would do, all I got was "Fatal Alert DataMgr.c, Line 7399, DMWrite(colon)DMWriteCheck failed". (Replace the word colon with the symbol - when I do it in the line I get a smilie) Shrug Now I am way out of my knowledge and comfort zone trying to do this, I have no idea what the message even means. Can anyone give me any ideas, steer me in the right direction for correcting this. I'm sure there is probably more information I should put here but I don't even know what might be important. Thanks for any help you can give me. (Darn, and the directions were so great, and I did have it running for a bit!) __________________ Doing better than Lucy Jordon, thank you.

Of course, you could drop the audio bit rate down to 64 kbps or even 48 kbps to make the CPU more available to handle the higher bit rate. I have been a little limited to finding just the right settings for different devices, but I did enough to know that the settings in the article give everyone an excellent place to start. If I get enough input, I would be more than happy to update the article with preferred settings for different devices.

Thanks,

The most common problem is the codec is not installed properly. I would download and install both the DivX and XviD codecs, and then try conversion again.

DivX Codec
XviD Codec

Thanks,

Romans8:38 All things work together. Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: New York Posts: 113	This is great. But I was using a 256 mb card which I found only really has 238mb available. So the video would not fully transfer via Image Converter although most of it did. Also I could not copy and paste to the card directly because it said there was not enough room. IC was the only way to go. A couple of questions please. Can I just adjust the number for conversion to 234mb instead of 242 as suggested so that it would fit on a 256mb ms? And yes before you ask I will also look into getting a 1gb memory stick. Question 2 is is there any way of getting a larger picture since half the space is taken up with the surrounding black space? Thank you. __________________ Zaurus 5800, Mobilon, Ipaq 3135, Diamond Mako, Palm 515, Jornada 680, Palm m130, Clie NX73, NR70, Clie TH55.

Bob Ch Guest Posts: n/a	This is AWESOME! Thanks for posting this guide. This is something I have wanted to do with my PDA for quite some time. The guide made this really EASY to do! I have converted four movies this weekend using Fairuse LE & played them on my Zire 72 using TCPMP. I still want to play around with the settings to see if I can improve the quality, but I am very satisfied with the results so far. Watching Blade Runner & Outland on my Zire 72 is way cool! I have nuked Kinoma from my Zire & I will now use this software combo exclusively.

What directory did you put the movie in? It should be in MP_ROOT/100MNV01

If you are using FMP you will also need the MP4 codecs installed on your UX which you can find under the Freeware link on this site under Applications -> Multimedia. IC2 outputs MP4s and not MQVs

LupeValenz (^_^)/ Hi Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: NM Posts: 2,937	I love being able to watch Collateral on my THea now . I use the Fairuse, then Imageconverter 2.0. Although I have to admit, I didn't know bout this earlier, I just used the default formaat and got a pretty big 600MB movie that converted down to around 400MB. The image is great and sound is good, but will go back and try the instructions to see the movie quality. It be great to save several movies on a 1GBcard. __________________ Sony NX-Sony NZ-Sony UX-Sony TH55-Treo 650- Treo 755P-iPod Touch->Palm Pre

LupeValenz (^_^)/ Hi Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: NM Posts: 2,937	Well, Image Converter 2 double the 250 avi file so instead just used TCMP to watch the avi file. Image quality is pretty good and the file size is excellent . Time to create a Movie Memory stick library. __________________ Sony NX-Sony NZ-Sony UX-Sony TH55-Treo 650- Treo 755P-iPod Touch->Palm Pre
