thanks, macnorton. i\'ve been using divx\'s converter to make them playable -
it
works, but with some loss of quality...i\'ll try what the forum suggests, see
if that\'s a better method.
i\'ve used g-spot in the past, but it doesn\'t mention the q-pel codec when
rendering the files.
what\'s most irritating is, that my brother\'s cheap standalone player plays
anything you throw at it, whereas my more expensive model crashes!
