Step by Step
Encoding and Streaming to your Pocket PC
If you've got a Windows PC, this article will show you how to get audio & video content from your PC onto your Pocket PC. There are two ways of doing it:
By encoding the source material into a format suitable for the Pocket PC and then copying the files onto the device
or
By using a network (preferably a wireless one!) and streaming the encoded data over to the Pocket PC
...
Gotchas
You may be wondering why, if you are using Encoder 9, I kept on telling you to change the audio settings. The reason is because, by default, the encoder likes to use a 48kHz audio format - which Pocket PC 2002 doesn't like. I don't have Windows Mobile 2003 device, so I can't confirm whether or not that behaves the same way. Anyway, the problem is documented in Knowledge Base article 813693 if you want the MS line on this and how to permanently fix it.
Conclusions
Hopefully I've been able to help two audiences with this article - those who want to encode audio & video material for their Pocket PC and those who want to stream that material over a wireless network. By using the encoder application, the process is actually reasonably painless - once you've got the hang of the various settings
So go on - set your PC up, recharge the battery on your Pocket PC and go and sit in the sun and enjoy the stream!
