WMP11, XP, Iomega NAS, DLNA Sony

Good to hear everything is working more or less

Quicktime is one of the formats supported by WMP. It doesn't convert, it has
a CODEC to interpreted the content
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/316992

Try finding a user forum for your TV, wouldn't be surprised if the TV is
causing the problem

Thanks for the update

Succes

I've been following this one with interest. Helpful for me too. Sounds as
if you have figured this part out already, but maybe highlighting it will
help someone else. One thing I found on my Pioneer is that even one
unsupported file in a folder causes (in my case) an "unable to acquire list"
error and will prevent the entire folder from being viewed.

Vincent was a real help. I am glad this post has possibly helped you. I
figured that I can't be the only one out there with a problem like this. I am
going to troubleshoot the unviewable NAS DLNA folders tomorrow. I may need to
convert quicktime pics to .jpeg or .jpg (same?) if that is even possible or
worthwhile. With each step comes another hurdle, until the race is over. I
keep needing to research as I go but that is how we learn. I was able to
enjoy a nice slideshow with my family tonight before the kids went to bed.
Now if I can get the laptop out of the loop. Maybe tomorrow. Giant leap
today. Back to baby steps tomorrow.
