mai file extension

I transfered movies from my Sony Clie handheld computer to my desktop computer. The read as *.mai files. .Mai file extension seems to be related with mail files. How can I play my movies that have an extension of .mai? I have tried to re-name the file to suit the file extension that my media players support by now luck. Any one expereienced this and solved it?

i tried the same thing from my sony clie and i found the same problem. I tried quicktime and that worked once, but it stopped working. maybe you’ll have better luck?

if u still unable to view ur movie file ...
juz upload the .mqv file to ur pc ...
and change the extension to .mov ...

I have same problem too.
I cannot solve that also...
Would anyone help me?

After reading some posts, I found out that the ".mai” files are index files (located inside the movie player folder) and are obviously not playable. The actual movies are named with the ".mqv” extension and are located in the “mq_root” folder . So, you are copying just the index files over to the PC, not the movie files. !

THE MOVIE FILES ARE LOCATED ON THE MQ_ROOT FOLDER JUST RENAME THEM AS .MOV AND PLAY THEM ON QUICKTIME
