More newbie questions...

Hi again.

A couple of other questions:
- One of the things I want to do is load the recorded sessions onto my PDA (an HP iPaq running Windows Mobile 5) to watch when commuting. Is there a way to add teh Codec (I recorded with the CamStudio codec) to the WM5 device or should I use something else (maybe VirtualDub) to convert the video to a WM5-friendly codec (if so, what?)
- Same thing applies to viewing the AVI files on non-Windows machines (Linux) or with VLC (which, to my understanding, has its own codecs).

Thanks again!

    I have no idea if it is possible to install the codec you've used on your PDA. I've searched a little, and it seems that iPaqs delivered with WM5 has got WMP 10 installed (no big surprise there), and supports only Windows Media-formats per default. I can't say for sure that this is correct, since I don't know exactly which iPaq you've got, and since I couldn't find much info about this -- but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

    In that case you would have to convert to Windows Media, which best can be done with the Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft. It's a free download from here:

    Some tips for encoding can be found here:

    As for Linux and VLC:
    VLC can playback WMV, also in Linux (according to this: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html), so you don't have to encode to any other format. I think I would have though -- converted using Virtualdub, to x264 (video) and Lame MP3 (audio).

    Use the default on most Windows OS's, Microsoft Video 1. It will encode it in the proper .AVI format, and if you wish to re-encode it using the .WMV format, then use the codec as described above.
