Look at the last letters after the name, like .divx .wmv .mp4

like everything else the player has to match, he may have to transcode,

look at http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net

Cheap TV Divx players are around, when Aldi had one it was £21 plays any media file straight off disc from PC or a memory card, saves a lot of encoding, my favourite codec pack is klite total, anything will play anything then, even nero plays flv files
