Video format?

I'm a new LimeWire user and I can't figure out how to play video files! I've tried opening them in QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media 7. I have a Mac (OS X) if that makes any difference. Do I need to download another player or what?

Thanks for any help!

some just will not work on Macs. For a free player, vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ plays just about anything that could play on the mac easily.

try using the recorder or running it through the video camcorder, etc.

When you say "video files" do you mean movie files, or a stream of some sort from a video camera?

Quicktime should be able to play just about anything you download except avis, which you need Divx for, and wmvs which you need WinPlayer (whatever the heck the evil empire's software is called).
