No sound when video is played on pocket pc
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Question.

When I double click on the output wmv file on my desktop pc,  I get sound,  but when I play it on my pocket pc I do not.

Why?

Answer.

Usually this is because you have selected a large output file size,  and your pocket pc is unable to handle the complexity of the file you have created.

If you select a smaller output size,  the Pocket DVD Wizard will compress the video using a higher compression level,  and your pocket pc will find it easier to decompress the video.  As a result,  this will free up more resources on the pocket pc,  so the audio track will then play.

It is also a good idea to try closing other applications on your pocket pc when viewing video,  to free up as much memory as possible.

If this does not help,  a simply reset of your Pocket PC may help,  if Windows Media Player has crashed for any reason.
