We've just purchased a Canon G7 camera capable of creating AVIs, and I would appreciate some help with troubleshooting why they won't play with MC12.
Hints:
(1) All other AVIs play properly (e.g., common downloaded and compressed TV shows).
(2) With the Canon AVIs, I get sound but no picture
(3) Nero 7's Showtime does play them properly, but WinDVD 5 does not.
I might have believed there was something special about them such that installing the Canon software on the HTPC might allow them to work, but why would Nero Showtime work when MC12 does not?
TIA & Cheerios
