The first thing that pops to mind... what format are they in? What's the file extension? (the three letters after the '.' in the filename...) You may need to convert them to a more common format, or find a viewer that'll recognise the existing format.

Another possibility is the xfer program isn't putting any extension after the filename. This means the 'puta won't have a clue what program to use for display, so you'll need to check the phone's manual, find out what the format is and modify the filename appropriately.

(Apologies if you've already been through this, but you don't say so to troubleshoot we gotta start at the beginning...)

Had this prob not long ago with a friend's phone. Had to download an extension for Quicktime which plays 3GPP files. As Skew says check the file extension, they had '3gp' as the extension

There's a free program called "Super", from

http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

which will do all sorts of conversions from one format to another.
