Video taken on 7500 won't play on Vista

[cottinghamm]

I have taken some video on the 7500 and copued the file to my Vista PC, it won't play. In my stupid world I assumed that Microsoft would have used a format on WM6 that could also be played natively by a Windows PC, am I asking too much.

Anyone got a simple (free) fix ?

install FFdshow (dated 03/01/2008) and haali media splitter (in that order) and you will be able to play just about every video file you come accross within windows media player !! if windows media player ever complains in future and says "I dont know this file type should I try to play it anyway" just say yes and it will play (if the above two files are installed)

The solution is simple: change the extension from .mp4 to .3gp

This will play with RealPlayer or QuickTime Player.
