Hi John,

Thanks for the tip. Yep, that works fine for wmv files.

Didn't like the mp4 files from a video camera though. Caused an error
to reported back to Microsoft when it hit a directory with mp4s.

Thought I'd try to convert , but Windows Media Encoder (v9 I have
installed) didn't like the mp4s either. Oh well. . .

Any version of WMP that plays mp4?

Regards,

Check Google...there are converters you
can download.

Maybe the following freebie will convert
the .mp4 files.

SUPER © Simplified
Universal Player Encoder & Renderer

(the mirror download site is faster)

And for playing .mp4 files...maybe the
following player would be worth a try:

VLC media player

Good luck.
