here's a good technical question to start the day:

i shoot avi clips with a canon powershot g2 camera

i have tried every media player program for the axim i have been able to find that claims to play avi files

but with all of them, i get an incompatible video format error message

does anyone know why the avi from a canon g2 is different from standard avi

also, does anyone have a foolproof avi player they can recommend that WILL paly these avi clips?

i have gotten around the problem by converting the avi to wmv which saves space by compressing the file and then plays through windows media player

but i still would like to know why the canon avi is incompatible with pocket tv, pocket divx and pocket music and video player

also, i thought media player could play avi...does any one know anyhthing more about why it doesnt?

any ideas or leads would be much appreciated

thank you
