| | Re: memory flash stick You need to pay attention to what you are doing. These video files - if they are WMV, they should play fine in XP and Vista (so lets assume they are not WMV). If they are AVI files, the "AVI" is just a container. The video itself may have been encoded with something like DivX or XviD. If they are MOV files, then QuickTime may be needed. Regardless, there is a program called "FFDShow". It is a direct show filter that installs and decodes many video formats. http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ Just click the big "download" graphic.

| | Re: memory flash stick Andrew What is the extension on the end of the filename you are trying to run. After the "dot" what does it say? .avi or .mov, or what? If there is no extension, go to: Tools>Folder Options>View and UNcheck "Hide extensions for known file types". Let us know. BTW, .avi files run just fine on my WMP. Bob F.

| | Re: memory flash stick Saying AVI files run just fine on your system is meaningless. What kind of AVI files? What codecs? Are these DivX videos with MP3 audio? Are they XviD videos with Ogg audio? People can make AVI files with any moon-format codec they can think of, and that would prevent it from working on most systems (unless they had something installed to decode the format). The extension ".AVI" doesn't mean anything. Most of the AVI files I've compressed used XviD for video and Ogg for audio. If you tried to play them, you may get video (if you had a DivX/XviD compatible decoder installed), but you may not get any audio unless you had something like an Ogg DirectShow filter installed.
