Solving problems with videos

Depending on what software you have installed on your system, your ability to play certain videos may be limited. In general, most systems can play standard AVI files and MPEG-1 videos. However, many cameras and video cards produce special versions of MPEG that can not be viewed unless you have installed additional CODECS.

FotoAlbum launches the default viewer for a given video when you double click on it (based upon file extension). However, the picture preview window may not be able to display the video. If you have a problem playing a particular video clip, we recommend you test your system's ability to view the video by double-clicking on it in the Windows Explorer. If it has problems playing correctly using this method, then FotoAlbum won't be able to view it either.
