My nifty Palm Centro smart phone takes videos in an 3G2 format. On XP PC they play in Quicktime. But XBMC does not see them in Video scan and has a (?) in the file manager.

Is there something I need to add/do to get the file to display/play?

Try creating a advancedsettings.xml file and adding the extension to it:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<videoextensions>
  <add>.3g2</add>
</videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

Let us know how it goes, (it is quite possible that it is not supported).

That worked great! Thanks for helping!
