Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / October 2004Photo Story 3 output to Pocket PC
When I try to play the output movie file from Photo Story 3 on my pocket PC media player (Version 8.5 Build 12177) only the sound plays no video. Even the clips that Microsoft provided as example do this. Anyone else have this problem or even better a fix? Photo story 3 will work only on Media Player 10. > When I try to play the output movie file from Photo Story 3 on my pocket PC > media player (Version 8.5 Build 12177) only the sound plays no video. > Even the clips that Microsoft provided as example do this. > > Anyone else have this problem or even better a fix?

Correct me if I am wrong but it is only for Windows XP, not the Pocket PC.

Photo Story 3 for Windows http://tinyurl.com/555tu However...for Pocket PC...you may need Windows Media Player 10 Mobile as discussed at the following site: Windows Media Player 10 Mobile http://tinyurl.com/5t49r It may be worth a try to experiment with the various save options.  SignatureJohn Inzer Picture It! MVP return e-mail disabled Picture It! Support Center http://tinyurl.com/2po2o Digital Image Support Center http://tinyurl.com/3xxqg The site you cited clearly says version 10 is needed. In fact, PS1 and PS2 required version 9, so obviously version 7 is not going to work. Maybe it will work on a pocket PC (I have no idea what this is) but not on XP on a PC. > > Correct me if I am wrong but it is only for Windows XP, > > not the Pocket PC.

You may correct, but when I downloaded PS 3 on my PC (not pocket PC and I am on XP) I reveived a message that I first had to download version 10 to get PS3 to work. > Correct me if I am wrong but it is only for Windows XP, not the Pocket PC. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > > > > > > > Anyone else have this problem or even better a fix? > You may correct, but when I downloaded PS 3 on my PC (not > pocket PC and I am on XP) I reveived a message that I > first had to download version 10 to get PS3 to work. =============================== Don't blame me...I'm just sharing the info from MS. The following site clearly states that WMP10 is required for *creating* a Photo Story but they will play with WMP7. The original question was about *playing* a Photo Story... not creating one. Photo Story 3 for Windows http://tinyurl.com/555tu SignatureJohn Inzer Picture It! MVP return e-mail disabled Picture It! Support Center http://tinyurl.com/2po2o Digital Image Support Center http://tinyurl.com/3xxqg I am not blaming anybody. Indeed, creating and viewing a PS3 file can require different resources. As far I know PS1 required WMP9 to create and view. Now PS3 requires WMP10 to create, this is clear. But maybe you can view a PS3 file created on WMP10 with an earlier version of WMP. I doubt it but I cannot verify this since I am WMP10. > > You may correct, but when I downloaded PS 3 on my PC (not > > pocket PC and I am on XP) I reveived a message that I [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Photo Story 3 for Windows > http://tinyurl.com/555tu >I am not blaming anybody. > Indeed, creating and viewing a PS3 file can require [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > version of WMP.

"Watch it at home: Enjoy your stories on any PC with Windows Media Player 7 or higher" This same requirement applies to playing all versions of Photo Story files. SignatureJohn Inzer Picture It!

This is from the help file: "If you want to play your stories on portable devices that do not have Windows Media Player 10 Mobile installed, you can use Microsoft Windows Movie Maker to import your story, and then save it by using the Windows Movie Maker Pocket PC profile." I did some experimenting and indeed it seems to be true. I was not able to create a WMV file that could be played on my iPAQ 2215 (only available with WMP 9). As reported by an earlier poster, the audio plays but the video remains black. I tried using Nero to re-encode the file, but Nero puts up a message saying their license doesn't allow them to re-encode WMA files. I then used MovieMaker2 to re-encode the file to 320 x 240 at 30fps. The result was a bit choppy, but it did play on my iPAQ. I will run further re-encoding experiments tomorrow, but at this time I will probably use PhotoStory 2 to create files for my iPAQ (although the new features of PhotoStory 3 are very alluring). Signature- Barry Thanks for this Barry. I did look through the help file but missed this. I have also tried it and it does work but the file does loose some of its quality. I was wondering, it looks like Microsoft is not releaseing Media Player 10 as a download, only pre-installed on new devices. Is this your understanding as well? Thanks Patrick > >>I am not blaming anybody. > >>Indeed, creating and viewing a PS3 file can require [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > time I will probably use PhotoStory 2 to create files for my iPAQ > (although the new features of PhotoStory 3 are very alluring). That's what the web site says: "Windows Media Player 10 Mobile will be available on many new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition–based Smartphones and Pocket PCs beginning this fall. These devices will come in various shapes and sizes designed to fit your lifestyle and budget. Windows Media Player 10 Mobile is not available for download from Microsoft." - http://makeashorterlink.com/?S5B3348A9 Signature- Barry > Thanks for this Barry. > I did look through the help file but missed this.

John and Yves, WMP7 itself cannot play Photostory3 files. It needs the WMV9 codec to do so. This is ok on PCs where the codec is available and gets downloaded. However the WMV9 codec is not available for PocketPCs. This can only be obtained for PocketPCs with Media Player 10 mobile. Hence both of you are correct :-) Minimum required to play PS3 files: On PCs: WMP7 + WMV9 codec On PocketPCs: WMP10mobile SignatureRehan www.rehanfx.org - get transitions and effects for Windows MovieMaker >>I am not blaming anybody. >> Indeed, creating and viewing a PS3 file can require [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > This same requirement applies to playing all > versions of Photo Story files. > John and Yves, > > WMP7 itself cannot play Photostory3 files.

Photo Story 3 for Windows http://tinyurl.com/555tu If you scroll down to "Share Stories" it says: "Watch it at home: Enjoy your stories on any PC with Windows Media Player 7 or higher" SignatureJohn Inzer Picture It!

This thread became confusing in the beginning because the requirements for PCs and Pocket PCs are not the same.
