I have a $99L one-prim media tv. It plays the sample video clip that it contains. But whenever I want to use my own source, the movie screen is just gray. I can see the movie controls at the bottom of the screen appear, but nothing happens.
Could the problem be with my source? :

thank you

Oops...just realized quicktime doesn't play .wmv files? Guess I need to convert it into .mov ?
If anyone knows of a free converter, please tell me!

Yup, Quicktime will play just about anything.. except wmv. Unfortunatly wmv is what the vast amount of content on the net is encoded in.
