Anyone else having trouble playing Windows Media files?

I tried everything:  In stock mplayer, ZMplayer, Rockbox, WMVs/WMAs just freeze up the phone.

I'm using Ultimate.

Anyway to add some codecs somewhere or edit some files through telnet?

I want to avoid reflashing if possible, especially with newer and better firmwares right around the corner.

Converting WMAs to the universal MP3 format isn't a problem, but converting WMV to MP4 takes forever.  I preferably want to play these video right out of the box if possible...

Well the whole point of playing WMVs would be of the video+audio.  All WMVs I get I wish would play 'out of the box' with ZMplayer or stock mplayer.  It's a pain in the ass and time-consuming to convert them really, but for now without reflashing this is the only way.

About SUPER:  I've heard many positive reviews of SUPER, but also a few bad ones.  Some of the complaints include SUPER having spyware, or violating GNU-GPL licenses or whatever, which I will not support.  Besides, I mess around with video files a lot and there's nothing better than knowing the exact encoding configurations.

I dont know bout super violating gnu, but for encoding any video format for e2 i use 320x240, 480kbps, 25 fps (15 if u want play it in stock player). For sound any popular format like mp3, mp2, aac or else with 44100khz, 2 channel, 128kbps should enough.
I was trying wmv, avi, mpg, mp4 n the most light n compatible for zmplayer is mpg but now i use avi cos its smaller size than mpg
