For the love of pancakes, can someone please help me with my Eclipse Media Player?

I'm having no problems with it when it comes to music.

But videos? Absolute nightmare.

The thing comes with video converter software that doesn't work and an poorly translated, english-mishmash html manual that makes no sense and keeps referring to a CD that never came with the player (I'm on a netbook, so I can't use it anyway!) Talk about outsourcing.

The thing supposedly only plays .avi format, and I've tried playing downloaded vids of that file type. No dice. Ironically, all the sample videos play fine. The converter software just says "error" when I try to convert a video, and only the audio plays-- the little sample screen stays black.

I'm going crazy, here.

Anyone have any help to offer?
