This INCLUDES asking for links to software you have 'already bought'. If this really is the case, contact the developer concerned.

Do a search

Please do a search of the forum to ensure the question you are about to ask has not been posted already.

If it has, but has not been answered, simply post a reply to the existing thread, and it will bump it up to the top.

Hi there can anyone help me please ?

I have a Pocket PC i-mate PDA/phone and have recently taken a small amount of footage on the video programme which was set on mpeg-4.

I wanted to view this piece of video and eventually send it to an insurance company as evidence of a leaking dishwasher !

I have dragged the file over to my PC but even though I have downloaded every media player I can find - the file will not play on my PC which is running on XP home SP2 !

When the file is transferred [dragged] from the PDA to the PC the software converts [automatically without my intervention] to a file that supposedly the PC can read but it will not work.

Do I have to convert this mpeg-4 into an AVI file to get windows media player to work and if so please can to give a clue how to do this in simple stages ?

The software that this video has been recorded by is called Album foor Pocket PC Version 2.10 [iA Style, Inc.]

I have gone into the folders and made all extensions [that are sometimes hidden ] become transparent but still I cannot get this ***** file to work - will the PC only play avi files and not the mpeg-4 extension ?

Thank you

Charles
