he guys,
want to buy this lovely phone .. yeah i know, got some issues, but its new and i think there is a lot of potential ...
but thats off topic
so my question is, can i put my movies and my music into zune to sync with the hd7? oder can i just download movies and music from the zune store ??
I travell a lot with train ( home to work and back ) an i like watching movies, but i´ve got so many movies, i dont want to buy them all again over zune stroe
You can definitely add your own movies and music to a WP7 device using Zune, just point the Zune software to the folder where your files are stored and drag and drop to your device. Be aware some video files will probably be converted by the software and might take some time. But you are not required to buy your multimedia from Zune again before they can be used on your device.
^^ MP4, M4V and WMV videos don't have to convert.
I've had no problems with any movies or television shows that were on my computer already, they dragged and dropped. Took a few minutes per t.v. show. Don't know if it converted them, probably did, but if it did, it did it fast or did it in advance of me dragging and dropping.
Just sync it once via cable, turn on wifi syncing, then drag and drop the night before and in the morning you will be all set.
thx bros
so i think, i will buy it today ..........
general rule is if zune can play the movie the it will be synced to phone or zune. some videos in wmv and h.264 dont need to be converted, but some movies might be converted when the phone starts to sync with the software

Ever since I upgraded(yeah right..) to Windows Mobile 6.1 I cant play videos through windows media player. On 6.0 I used to watch MPEG-4, and ASF videos all the time. Since I upgraded though WMP wont play MP4 videos, and ASF playback is so choppy its impossible to watch. What can I do to fix this without installing another media player application?
Custom rom or stock rom?
Carrier branded device, or unlocked htc device?
Edit:
Actually, how about you give us as much details as you can about your device and what you've tried so far
Im using the official Windows 6.1 rom on an ATT Tilt w/o any other apps running. The MPEG files I used to play on my phone before were no longer supported by WMP. I tried re-encoding the files and that didnt work. I tried lowering the quality and that hadnt worked. I searched google and saw that WMP only supported mp3 and ASF files so I encoded the video as an ASF and that worked but playback was extremely choppy. I cant really think of anything else to do so I came on here.

Ok OK....What I want to know is how the hell did you get WMP to play it before????????? WMP doesn't play MP4 never did. Anyway, If you can play the videos you have on the Desktop Windows Media Player, hook up your, open Desktop WMP, hit Sync Tab, Sync your phone(and/or Storage card), select the video to sync list, and sync. Desktop version will convert for mobile version. If you can't play the videos in Desktop Media Player then you'll have convert the video in something it can play. TCPMP and Coreplayer are way better, but I use Media from time to time.

i wish i knew how i got my tilt to play any videos at all. Im 2 seconds away from throwing this peice of sh#$ brick in the trash and getting an Iphone
I did a search and can't find any threads on Netflix. I saw an ad on TV that they now offer on line streaming of movies...has anyone tried this on a tilt? For $4.99 that seems like a better deal than buying movies and downloading them on to the SD?
I watch streaming movies on my laptop using my Tilt as the modem, but I don't think there's a way to get it to work on a Windows Mobile device directly as you have to install a small activex app on your actual PC (it intregrates into windows media player) and then you watch streaming movies that way.
PS there is a way to download movies from your PC, remove the DRM from them, and then convert them to play on your Tilt. I won't go into that here, but if you google you will find info on how to do that.
That's too bad...I'm surprised somebody hasn't figured out a way to do it yet as that would be pretty popular.
Does anyone know if the WM Windows Media Player plays DRM encrytped files?

Thank You
anyone else noticed if the music played on their phones has been counted on their zune card?
Yes plays from the device will add on your account. Not sure if it's thru the cloud or when you connect your device like the original Zunes
defo not working here then
Hi,
I've been an android user for ages, but I'm also a photographer and I'm very very intrigued by the Lumia 1020....but there is one particular thing that really keeps me from trying it...it's media player capabilities. I watch video on my android phone ALL the time. This is not an exaggeration. I watch videos going to and back from work, I watch videos when I'm waiting for a doctors' appointment (or any appointment). And the best part is that is nothing that Android won't play either straight away or simply by installing the right codec and a good player from the google app store (some of the best are free). I've the Lumia 1020 review and one of the main complaints were that there were A LOT of video formats and codecs that had to be converted before hand so the phone would play it. That is absolutely out of the question for me as sometimes I will copy like 8 seasons of a show directly to my phone.
Is there an app, codec, hack or whatever that will allow a windows phone the same flexibility when it comes to playing multiple formats or would I be stuck with converting videos before hand?
I just checked: there is an app which already supports playing MKV, but it's $4.49 US and I don't know if it's available in all regions, so you should check the WP8 store from your browser before buying. It also doesn't have great reviews (plays MKVs but some people say they lack subtitles, for example) although the dev is responsive to feedback according to some reviews. Alternatively, wait for VLC to be ported, which is a work in progress (once they have it working for Windows RT, the Windows Phone 8 port will be fast).
There are also media streaming clients on the phone which require you to install server software on the PC, but don't require that you convert the files. These also have the advantage of not using up phone storage. However, you will need to have very good bandwidth (both download to phone and upload from PC) to stream video.
