Can anyone advise?

The videos I copy from my PC to my PPC (and vice versa) don't open correctly
saying that Windows doesn't know the application to use.

That's probably because they're not windows media video types, or you
have a file type which there's no file association for.

So the obvious question is - what is the file type or extension ???
