What program are you trying to play it back with? AutoGK creates AVI files.
Windows Media Player for Pocket PC does not play AVI files, only WMV movies.
(Although WMP on a desktop PC does play AVI files.)

You need to install an alternate video player on your Pocket PC in order to
play an AVI file. I would recommend Betaplayer, a great new multimedia
player, that's completely free of charge.

Look for it at:

http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/

If you have problems with that URL,

go to

www.corecodec.org

and look for links to Betaplayer.

The latest "stable" release is 0.4. However, there have been several
"unstable" releases since then, with a lot more features, abilities to open
more types of files (including wmv and wma, with a plug-in), etc. (I suspect
a new "stable" release will be out soon.) Anyhow, don't let the "unstable"
name scare you, I'd suggest installing the latest "unstable" release rather
than 0.4, but either would work to play your AVIs from AutoGK.

The only movies that WMP-PPC will play are WMVs. You could import the AVI
created with AutoGK into Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Encoder (both
free from Microsoft), and convert to a WMV. I would suggest the other
option, however, using Betaplayer to play your AVIs.
