what program opens our videos that we took from our treo? I sychronized my treo, then went to the folder on my cpu that has the videos on there that i took...i click on it and windows media player says it cant play that type of file?? what do i need to do to view those on my cpu and make them viewable on others thru emai???

thanks in advance for your help...this is probably a rookie question but...

Try QuickTime. I believe that will open them up.

I'd stick with Quicktime. RealPlayer is bloatware, that's why it's been replaced on my desktop and Treo by better apps.

Not to hop on the Real Player bashing bandwagon, but my issue with Real Player are the constant updates. It seems everytime I install it and go to play a file, it works fine. However, the next time I come across a Real Player file, the file doesn't support my version. When I come across a site using Real Player, I usually just choose Windows Media. Being a Mac guy, WM has always been pretty terrible on the Mac. There is a company called Flip 4 Mac that came out with a plug-in that changes all of this. It's a simple plug-in that allows Windows Media files to be played through QuickTime.

Sorry for the rant about Real Player...

Realplayer has a documented history of shady practices. I stay clear of real player. There are programs that have plugins to play real files.
