viewing Pocket PC Phone video files on your PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,
I am using an O2 Xda IIs. I have the latest version of Media Player and
Quicktime and am running XP Pro.

I used the Camera video feature to record some video footage of a mate's
first band performance and want to view it on my PC.

The video clips were recorded in MPEG-4 Video format (Audio Codec: GSM
AMR-NB Audio) and I dragged and dropped the files to my PC and the Copy &
Convert program transferred to my PC.

However, when I try to view the files on my PC the file format is not
recognised. I downloaded a couple of MP4 apps from the web but they will
still not run.

Any ideas how I can view the files on my PC?

Thanks Richard.

Something like that ;-)

Subject line and last line were sufficient, but sometimes more detail is
better. I never had any issue with playback, it was automatic with
QuickTime, but then maybe the OP didn't have QuickTime installed.
