How to get around it? What does "file youfile.avi" say? If it says "Microsoft APF", throw it away. It's almost certainly a trojan and even if not you can only play it under Windows. If it doesn't say that, you may simply need a Windows-compatible codec. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
