 * ~ File Type ||~ Comments ||
 * .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mpa, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wmv, .wmz, and .wpl || These should work, but the most reliable will be:
 * .mov, .qt || AVOID: Newer files of these types may not play. ||
 * .asx, .m3u, .wmx, .wvx, and other "linked" file types || AVOID: These types (usually ending in "x") are less reliable because they are //pointers// to media files, not the files themselves, and the files they point to might not be available to your computer. ||
