Filmviewer app for iPhone!
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

I know, right!? If not HTC I am sure someone could come up with an app that plays them with at least some of the functions the PC viewer has!

is there any video viewer for the iphone already? If there is then I might be able to creat a video converter that will make it compatible with whatever format the iphone uses

Do you know what type of file they are? they register as a completly different type of file from everthing else I have on my computer. I've got WMA, AVI, MPEG-4, etc.

You need AH to read AH files.  You can't view films on your PC without AH installed.

wrongway, do you know what file type AH2 uses? If its one avalable to the public, then I could probably rig something up....

Aces High films aren't video files. They're straight dumps of the process onto the hard drive. They contain all of the data that was flowing through the CPU from start to finish (which is what makes them such great bug catchers). Therefor, you need almost the entire Aces High engine and filesystem to play them, meaning an iPhone app isn't feasible.

Use Fraps to convert the film to AVI, or use the film viewer to convert to AVI (which never worked for me.)  Then convert the AVI to MP4 using Videora.

Doesn't look too bad actually.  I have a training clinic one on my Ipod I watched a few times on a long flight.  (Learned a lot, thanks Rolex.)
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
