Media Player does nor recognize .avi or .mpeg

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

Hi,
I have an HP 5455 with Windows Mobile 2003.
Although I've used Media player to play mp3's I've not tried video files
until recently.
No matter what I do I can not get Media Player to recognize .avi's.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

** Or Betaplayer, or Veo photo traveler software ;-)

Its true though, oddly enough, media player for PPC doesn't support
AVI format files.

Cheers - Neil

Get BetaPlayer- it's free and does many formats, AVI included.
