Default Re: Key2 says it will play .mp4 files, but my Key2 actually won't play .mp4 files

So, in other words: When is an .mp4 . . . . not an .mp4?

I haven't run through the isolation exercises you recommend, and while I can certainly understand how they might reveal the true source of the malfunction, I can't help but think:

1. This is not what one should expect to have to do when they purchase a flagship BB
2. what part of .mp4 am I failing to understand? If the specs say the device plays .mp4, and I have an .mp4 file on the device, should any extra concern/thought/diagnosis be required on my part?

I know it's possible to slap any old .xxx extension on any old file, and I can say, at least, that this is not what we're dealing with here. It's an .mp4; it plays without problem on my PC. But beyond that, I guess I have to decide just how much sleuthing I am willing to invest in troubleshooting this particular file. I confess the answer at the moment is "not much," not least because I figured this kind of compatibility is part of what I paid for.

So, thank you for your suggestions. If I go down that trail, I'll report back.
