Thanks...you have a great site. I downloaded gspot but then I realized they
were not avi files they were wmv files which gspot does not support.
Are wmv files MM's own format? If so, I do not see how it could be a codec
problem. If not, is there any way to determine what codec is required for a
wmv file? These videos were downloaded off the net so I do not know how they
were created although I could go back to the site and ask if that would help.
Thanks.
