    I need some help to see how I can play video from my cell phone on my pc.

    I've video on my ATT Tilt cell phone that save as video as MPEG4 and they play with WMP on the phone. When I download and sync my phone with WM vista they don't play play with window media player.

    I get the following error showing in the picture.

    You're missing a codec or two I suppose. Download K-Lite and you should be able to play the video.

    WMP doesn't normally play mp4. You'll need to download a codec. Most recommend K-lite.

    I think you'll only need the basic pack. The other come with Media Player Classic.
