    Tried to use XP/QuickTimePlayer7 to play MVI_7800.AVI video file, emailed from Mac user, and got error message/s (scnshot attached) that 'couldnt find file'.

    Any ideas on reason for error message, or, maybe recommend 'Apple' forum where should post question ?

    You said emailed. Did you save it to your drive and play it from there?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, dowloaded the attached file to PC (desktop) and tried to play from there.

    HI

    I maybe completely wrong here as I dont know MAC file formats and how a seemingly same file type could be slightly different to a WIN one as in AVI, so it may just be worth converting that file to AVI or another format with this app http://majorgeeks.com/Any_Video_Converter_d5692.html

    Worth a shot at least.
