avi wont play

[Lawrence DEmbo]

my digital camera kyocera fc-s3 makes avi files. Using the gspot software
i can give you the metadata 4 letter code (ISFT). I can also tell you that
the g spot software tells me that 2 compatible codecs are installed (AVI
draw and mjpeg decompressor). Also, i can render the video using the gspot
software and it tells me that direct show can play the video.

I use windows xp home, and office xp.

So after all of that, here is the problem. Powerpoint will not play the
file. It plays with media player but not with mplayer32.exe

GOing mad!!

Lawrence,

I'm pretty sure if you follow the simple tip on this page in the
"workarounds section" for "mjpeg vids decompressor" I will work for you.
Please report back here if it does work for you.
