http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316992&sd=techThe rule when encoding media on Hippotizer is, if it plays in Windows Media Player the codec is already loaded onto the Hippotizer.
If the clip does not play, you can use GSPOT to detect the codec needed. By using the Help option, GSPOT should help you find where to download the correct codec.
You can download the GSPOT application using the following link:
