The native movie files are, as I recall, Quicktime AVI files, so you need to have Quicktime installed. I find they also play fine in WMP 9. You do not have to do anything to decompress them.

WMP 9 is the best overall media player I have ever used, and I highly recommend the upgrade.

Now I don't suppose the s100 elph can be firmware flashed to take vid clips......or can it?

I would tend to doubt it, but get on Google and find out!
