What did that come back with? It might be something (like IV50) that there isn't an OSX or Intel decoder for. If it's something a bit off the wall, take it to a Windows machine and do some transcoding there. Cheers - Jaimie -- >So, what do *you* do for a living?

I seem to be at a dead end :( If you want to email one of them to me (a smaller one for preference) then I'l see if anything I've got will do it. Unlikely, but might be worth a try.

I have done everything now :-( I have moved all the problem files to my PC and tries vlc and two repair apps. Even the repair apps say "this is not an avi file" or wmv ... Weird becaue they played perfectly when I got them. I think I have to kiss them goodbye and move on ..... THANKS GUYS !! I have learnt a lot so it's not all wasted. Howard
