Hey Peter -
Sounds like your son "one-upped" you! ;) If you can find out what he used when he encoded the video (such as DivX) that would help. Sounds like you might be missing a codec or something...

My wife and I recently visited Australia and while there of course took some video film. Our son out there transferred it onto CD for us via his PC and we brought the CD home.
The damned thing (pardon my language!) won't play on anything I have - but another son in London has been able to play it on his laptop. I keep getting the message "searching for codec server" when I try and load it on either my desktop (W2k) or my laptop Wxp). It won't play on any DVD player I've tried including a "top of the range plays everything else you throw at it" model a neighbour has that plays CD, CD-R, etc. etc. etc.
As this includes some rather special film of our son I'd like to solve this. I still have the tape (thank heavens!!) but the processor in my PC is too slow to handle the video capture properly, so until I upgrade that I can't do anything with it myself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
