Converting movie files

Hello, Great to be here.
Just wondering has any body have any ideas about what movie files would be accepted on the new Acer Iconia Tablets.Im having trouble with coverting a movie file which I transfered onto my computer and converted it to AVI to play but I got an error message saying "Cannot play,this video needs to have more Direct Show Filters"
 
I don't know anything about that tablet, but I think h.264/mp4 files are now pretty widely accepted. I'd try to convert to mp4 with Handbrake and see if that works on the tablet.
