    Reported Invalid MCI device ID - IrfanView under Wine in Ubuntu

    This post is offered in case (a) a Linux version of IrfanView is ever under development and (b) the error hints at a problem that may affect Windows users as well.

    Attempting to play a .wav in IrfanView 4.27, after installing IrfanView via Wine in Ubuntu 10.04, produces this error message:

    Error: Windows can't play this file!
    Windows error text: Invalid MCI device ID. Use the ID returned when opening the MCI device..
    You can try to install additional video/audio codecs from this site:
    FOURCC, four character code, pixel, format, video, YUV, RGB, codec, windows, microsoft, video for windows, windows media player, AVI

    or try the DirectShow option in 'Properties->Video'
