Hello Everybody,

This is my first post, i am sorry if this question is already been asked before, i searched this site for answer but didn't found any.

I have downloaded one video from asp.net site to play in my N900, following is the URL - http://www.asp.net/general/videos/intro-to-web-forms I downloaded the Windows Media format i.e WMV, but it says "unable to play media. Media format not supported, I installed the extra codes from extra-repository, MPlayer as well as SIB but in vain, even tried with KMPlayer but no success.

Kindly help me, how can i play this format and if it is not possible to play these videos directly, kindly suggest some converter for the same.

Thanks a lot

Ravindra

Clue's in the file name, Windows Media Video.
I'm sure there's a free video converter online somewhere that you can use to convert it to a mpeg2 or something.

It's a proprietary windows format that won't play on anything else.

I don't have my N900 with me, but I'm sure I can play WMV files via mplayer - I guess the codec comes from the extra-codecs.
