Want to take your webcasts with you? Part of the problem is that the webcasts need to be sized and compressed for the Pocket PC screen. I figured this out finally, and here's what you have to do:
1) Download the webcasts you want. Follow the instructions here: http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnwebcasts/articles/180027.aspx
2) Download and install the Windows Media 9 Encoder. Get it at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx
After installing the Windows Encoder, start it up. You'll have a wizard that presents you with a number of choices. Choose “Convert a File”, and go from there. Make sure to choose Pocket PC as the output format, and I chose the landscape option. You can choose to save the format wherever; I chose to save directly to a Compact Flash card that I slide directly into my Dell Axim X5.
This is pretty good for 200 level webcasts, but not so good for 400 level webcasts. You can't read the code in any demos, so it's only good for an overview webcast. If you just want to listen, you can convert the audio only and send it to your iPod.
This process takes nearly as much time to convert as it does to watch the thing, so converting a few is best for a background activity.
Also (hypothetically speaking of course), try not to let your wife find out this is why you are runninng late for Christmas Eve dinner at her mother's house.
