 How are you playing them? Are you copying them to a flash drive, say,
and playing them from that? Or are you using something like MediaTomb
to stream them over the network?

 If you want to recode them, I personally use mencoder (part of the
mplayer application). You can get arbitrarily complicated w/the
command-line options, but here's a simple command that'll take an
input file and convert it:

 mencoder <input file name> -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 <output file name>.avi

 This'll just copy the video unchanged, and convert the audio to
constant-bit-rate 128kbps mp3.

 If you try to play one of these files in mplayer from the command line,
what does the output look like? It should tell you the video and audio
formats...

 Sincerely,
