Creating "native" .exes for PocketPC? (eg Windows Mobile 200

[volker]

Hello,

there are solutions to make slide-shows for PocketPCs

described ("Slide-shows as video on PocketPC", "Pocket PC")

- but these are a bit work-arounds (creating movies)...

As newer PocketPC models support VGA (640x480) it would

be a nice feature if generating .exes that run directly on

PocketPC would be possible (so the player selects the best

resolution). Then, the pictures could be in 640x480 within the

.exe, the player would scale them to lower resolution (some

Windows Mobile 2005 devices use 240x240, theoretically

480x480 would be an "allowed" resolution, though there

presently seems to be no device on the market using that) if

needed... that should save space on the PocketPCs as .jpgs

are smaller than generated videos... If other people like

the idea, it could become a suggestion for a new feature

(for future versions of PicturesToExe)....

Sorry, we have no plans about creating of native EXE files for Windows Mobile platform.

It's a very hard work. And all continuously vastly changes on this platform with every new version of Windows Mobile.

But I think that even WMV 640x480 looks and plays very well on Pocket PC and has small file size.
