thx for reply. I can just use VLC to convert to a format that will work. I'll just have to deal w/ the loss of quality.

There are better file converters than VLC.

You can convert video files with little or no loss in quality.

Do a search for "video file conerter" without the quotes. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

There are several options after searching for that term. Can you let me know what product you recommend for file conversions?
