    Hello world,
    I have an iPAQ hx 2410.
    I want to watch some movies from my pocket pc. Format .avi or .mpg

    I have tried the TCPMP (0.71) but I after installation I got a big red X and nothing happens.

    Do you know of any other good video player?

    Thank you
    Newbie Pierre

    To play avi files you could try Pocket MVP:

    and for mpg files you could try Pocket TV:

    Or you could try vlc player for pocket pc im not sure what it is good for yet but i intend to try it:

    One more thing you could do is convert the file to a wmv for pocket pc using windows media encoder then just play them in windows media player:

    (Probably best to convert the files to wmv, it makes the files smaller)
