Canon Powershot A40 AVI Movie (can't view)
I have a Canon powershot a40 camera and it has a
movie mode, when I save that movie and download it onto my pc (running windows 2000 pro) thru the card reader (no canon software installed) I can see the avi movie file but no matter what I try to open it with it won't open and play. If i put the card back in the camera it works and I can see and play the video, but what I want to do is be able to watch it on the pc and or convert it to a smaller format (say WMV) for emails or whatnot... Just wondered if anyone here had a solution that would allow me to do this. I even tried to just rename the file movie.avi to movie.mpg, but that didnt work either. Tried Windows Media Player 9 (it says The file type is not supported by the Player) altho in the help section it says WMP9 plays avi Tried Windows Media Encoder 7 (wont accept avi) Thanks for any info or replies, I know the camera came with software but I haven't found the disc yet (figure that might be my only hope), but i didnt expect this to be an issue, being an avi i figured media player would play it or media encoder would allow me to convert it, so far no luck...
