what players are people using?not all clips work with aol or windows media player,which automatically open when i click on videos.cheers,phil.

Don't start me on this - WMV and AVI are OS specific CODEC formats - which get confused with custom extensions and plugins which are often required.

For goodness sake use an open standard like MPEG or H.264 as these are the normal industry formats for video media on ALL computing platforms. Sadly the sheer volume of Windows XP users out there (with bundled video software and other proprietary crap they get loaded with) means that video clips get produced in non-standard formats that aren't even compatible across different PCs.

The solution is to use FREE tools such as VLC from www.videolan.org to convert AVI and WMV content in MPEG format (or H.264 which makes smaller files for the same quality). H.264 is also supported by Apples QuickTime 7 player - also free from www.apple.com.

Microsoft has NOT implemented the H.264 and related ISMA specifications. If you wanna get with open industry standards, then get away from Microsoft. Just my 2p...

I won't be back at the Pod until next years Retro Cars show. It's over 200 miles from where I live so it's a bit far to travel regularly. My local-ish drag track is the York dragway, only 50 miles away, so I might go there and get a few runs in as practice for next year.
