Hi there,
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and tried with the Mobility Center to
import the videos I made with my Windows Mobile DEvice 5.0. Unfortunately the
video-files are all *.mp4 and Windows Media Player 11 does not find a codec.
How and with which (Microsoft tool if possible) would an import possible to
watch/ get them into wmv-files?
Kindest regards,
Marc

TCPMP for pocket PC should be able to play the MPEG4 files
successfuly. The core media player site is usually offline, but Picard
runs a mirror site : http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/

You would need a DirectShow decoder which supports MPEG4 video, which
should let you use moviemaker to recompress the files for pocket PC.

This version http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm is
probably for XP. I seem to remember this package is updated for Vista
http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ though for Vista64 there's
another package available.
