MDA recorded video won't play on PC, Anyone else?

Hello, I've got an MDA in the U.S. with ROM Version 1.8.10.2 WWE. ROM Date 12/10/05. I have encountered a problem. I recorded a short clip in the "video" setting and MPEG-4 with medium(176x144)size. It plays perfectly fine in the MDA's stripped down media player, but when I e-mail it to my normal POP e-mail address and try to play the clip on my PC with XP and Media player 10 with updated codecs, Windows Media Player says unsupported file type and closes.
How can I take a video on the MDA and e-mail it to anyone so it will actually play? I have duplicated this problem on 3 different PC's now.
Thank you

I just tried it and WMP 10 won't play it. I am not a fan of WMP anyways so try using VLC. It is an open sorce stand alone media player that plays every codec I know of. I use it for everything. It will play your video.

Why would there be a phone such as this, running Windows Mobile 5 that records video in such a way that one can't simply take a short video clip, e-mail is to a customer or anyone else for that matter and have it inherently be playable on a Windows XP system.
It seems strange that there would be any incompatibility, but there is.
What is the solution, I can't be having all my clients download a random program just to play one little video clip.
I am really looking for help or advice please.

Well if you don't want a new media player change the settings on your phone.

Start your Camera. Go to Settings. Change the Camera mode to Video. Change the Capture format from MPEG-4 to Motion-JPEG AVI. That should fix the problem.

I do believe that they default the video to MPEG-4 because the compression is better and you get smoother video for the file size.
