Way to read Zire 72 movies on a Mac?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I installed the latest Windows Media Player for OSX and still cant read
the Zire 72 recorded movies on my Mac. I could not on OS 9, so I
thought OSX would help. I thought wrong. Or does someone have a way?

No the files do not open in mac OSX Tiger's QuickTime.

I double click on this file

Video_050105_001.asf

And Media Player opens and it cant read the file, and neither can the
QuickTime player when I try to open it.

So is there anyway that I can read Zire 72 movies on my Mac?

Thanks,


John

Whatever the default stuff is using. I installed no third party
software. I believe the app is called media, but I am not sure.

The movies are created with the built in video camera. They play fine
on the Zire, but cant on the Mac.

NOTE- This is a seperate thread and issue than the MPEG4 problem I
have. Reading MPEG4 movies on my Palm would be nice, but its not
possible at this time at least in a widely tested reliable app. I can
live with standard Mpg.
