iPod Video on Palm or Treo

Feb 24, 2006 3:52PM PST

NOTE: This solution probably WON'T play DRM'd iPod Videos, sorry.

PROBLEM: I have been trying to get H.264 video encoded podcasts to play on my Tungsten E2 for a couple months. Even with the TCPMP player distrib, you'll get AVC/H.264 and AAC errors. Too bad, because TCPMP is an awesome free player for palm and plays most everything you throw at it.

SOLUTION: You need 2 additional plugins for TCPMP in order to play AVC/H.264 encoded podcasts (these can be hard to find):

tcpmp_aac_plugin.prc (to decode the soundtrack)
tcpmp_avc_plugin.prc (to decode the AVC/H.264 video)

INSTALL: The latest TCPMP distrib and these 2 Palm OS .PRC files, and you should be able to watch any of your favorite video podcasts (I simply copy mine to my SD Card).

(Post #6 has the 2 attached .PRC files you'll need)
