.mov to .avi, works vlc xvid, not wmp! problem file?

[langb]

I rendered a .mov video using Photoshop CS5 at 1fps, so it is basically a fast, silent slideshow. I tried to render straight to .avi but it was glitchy and the quality was bad for some reason.

I have tried various .mov to .avi converters, including quicktime pro, xilisoft, and streamclip. The one that i converted in quicktime will only play in quicktime again and comes up blank in other players. In streamclip, the video gets frozen on the first frame. Xilisoft is the most successful, as i am able to convert the whole video to play perfectly in divx and vlc, but NOT quicktime or windows media player! (windows media player sometimes displays and pixelly green glitch screen, sometimes says that it encountered a problem with the file (leading to web help suggesting sound driver issues), and sometimes it even decides to play the video perfectly!!)

I am new to this and i know that it may be some weird complicated codec issue, but i really need this resolved, its doing my head in. My ultimate goal is to upload this video onto a digital picture frame that i bought which says it supports avi, divx, mpeg1, 2 & 4. Everything format i have tried in many different quality/resolution settings do not work on the digital photo frame and just display a blank screen, but the divx avi movies from my computer work fine. I am sure that if i can get the video to work 100% of the time in windows media player (just like the said movies do) it will work in the frame.

Any help or leads greatly appreciated!!!!

Personally I've always found AnyVideoConverter to be very helpful, that thing can encode almost everything to anything but I'm not an expert encoder so I can't say for sure that it'll give you the results that you desire.

Sorry, thats no good. I need higher quality/frame size than that allows, and ive already tried xilisoft which essentially is the same thing but better. Perhaps it may be something to do with me rendering the video at 1fps? I tried exporting it at 25fps but photoshop freezes.
