[RNLD] re; Problems with playing back videos

[Florian Hanke]

Hi Stephen,

As far as I can see the Zoom Q3HD recorders records MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC].
On their website, they recommend the Quicktime player [
http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/q3hd].
I suggest you download a version of the Quicktime player for Windows and
give it a go [http://www.filehorse.com/download-quicktime-player/].

Cheers and good luck,
