Windows Media Player just says

"waiting"

Any Ideas?

Is there a pocketpc version of Windows Media Player 10?

Let's assume you have been able to play this file on the desktop PC,
and your only problem is playing the same file on the PPC. Is that
right ?

Supposing you have media player 10 for PC. And then you save the file,
and use the Sync button to copy it across to the Pocket PC.

Does it work then ?

The desktop player should transcode the video for the PPC's
capabiltites. I'm reckoning there's some 'feature' of the ASX produced
by the camera which isn't playable on the PPC version, and transcoding
could strip that file down to the basics so the PPC can play it.

It's preinstalled on a series of devices such as Dell X50 and a few
others. Some manufacturers have provided downloads of the OS update
required - there's no download available for just the player as it
needs to be done as an operating system upgrade.
