No none of these will play QT files. QuickTime is a locked up format, and apple hold onto it tighter than Microsoft do Windows Media.

Apple have never released a CE client to my knowledge.

There are two Windows CE programs for playing quicktime that I know of.

First is the DigiSoft's shareware program PictPocket Cinema 4.0 which can be found here:
http://www.digisoftdirect.com/products/pictpocketsuite.html

Obviously, it is a Pocket PC program but it does work. To get it working, you need to first install it from its cab file. Refer to other fourm posts for how to do this. Once it is installed, find the PictPocket.exe file and use FK's ExecutabilityCheck to rename the "VoiceCtl.dll" import to "Voicedll.dll". Now try running the program and it should work perfectly (almost). You won't be able to use the program's built in voice recorder function, but that is a small price to pay for a quicktime player on WinCE!

Another option to play quicktime files is the Microsoft Windows Media Player control and codecs found in Platform Builder 3.0 aka CEPlayer. Luckily, to use it, you don't need to track down PB 3.0 and purchase it. You may have heard it mentioned before or even have it already. As far as I can tell , it came with Cyberbank's PC E-Phone CE 3.0 device or was available for download from their website. The Cyberbank install of it comes with a very limited codec to play some older quicktime files. It worked with a few older quicktime files I came across, but no recent ones. I see on various fourms that people have often had alot of trouble with it because when a movie is larger than the screen, it gets cut off. I have fixed this by simply using the ceplayer.exe sample from PB 4.2

I spent like two days looking for this thing and hope to save people the trouble of searching asian CE fourms by posting it here. If this is in violation of the board's policys, I guess it will be removed. Sorry, but as far as I know, its freeware.

I hope my post helped you guys to play QuickTime on Handheld PC. Seeya.

PQV supports the MOV format. I have been using Pocket QuickView version 3.0.10 for sometime now. A few minor bugs here and there but overall, the application works well.

See www.hanaho.com


Cheers!

Okay, so I've done the download and the install to my Jornada 720. What's the trick to remove the 'Unable to initialise Player' error message I get when I try to run the program? The program starts, and the correct screen appears (complete with menus), but the error message will not go away (I have to terminate the application to get control back).

Sorry, I forgot to mention...

It needs to be installed to "\Windows"

You can then move the files to a system path set on your Storage Card. It will only work if the dlls are placed in a system path or \Windows. Search the fourm for more information on creating your own custom system paths. To use the modifided ce 4.1 ceplayer, you need to first install the cab file. Hope this helped.

Hey thanks! I downloaded the player to my desktop, but I can't un-zip the file to download it via active sync to my Jornada 720. What am I doing wrong?

Can you run that by me again. Do you mean install in 'Main Memory' and then move the DLL files it installed in the \windows directory into a system path on the 'Storage Card'? (I already have a system path set up on my card).

The reason I ask is that I installed it to the Storage Card and then (following you earlier e-mail) moved the DLL files into my system path folder. However, the same error occured. Isn't that the same thing?

Thanks Ian

When you install a file in activesync, it asks you whether you want to install to main memory, which would be the storage memory in ram, or to install to the storage card. Apparently you need to install in main memory and then move the file to the storage card.
