    anything on the quick boot that is not OS based you are SOL until acer updates the support with a patch. In all likelyhood you are screwed =(

    Acer is using Windows XP based system on quick boot which it also use Windows Media Player core to play file
    (It mean if WMP can't play then Acer arcade will can't play too)

    If you can install codec to that XP based is OK but I have no idea how to install new codec to it.
