Graham, Thank you for your Gspot program. I think I'm close but still having
trouble. I ran gspot on a desktop saved, video previw with a ".wmv"
extention. Gspot gave me a display; "Direct Show claims to be able to play
the file" using Mpeg 43 Decoder DMO and Video Renderer. I still have sound
but no video... What else might I try???
Thanks so much for your help with this,
Chris
