You may be missing a codec. You should download a lightweight player like:\n\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

convert it back and use mpeg format instead.....avi sux\ntry for .mp4 format if you can...

download 'VLC media player' Its probably some stupid codec problem or whatever. \n\nwww.filehippo.com and then search for it. Once you have it its the easiest, simplest thing to use.

Try opening you file in windows media player. If that does not work, install more codecs ( google search "codecs" ). You can also install vlc ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ).

Save it as a movie (avi) file, and if your dvd can play avi files you should have solved the problem\n\nif your dvd cant play avi files, save it as mpeg and use a cd burning software to make a VCD that most dvd players can play.

maybe the file was corrupted or perhaps real player lacks the codecs required to play the file..try downloading the k-lite codec pack,it comes wid media player classic..after downloading and installing the codecs,u shud b able to play that file..this was the best i could think of..all luck.

You need divx codecs to play most .avi files.\n\nGo to divx.com (http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/download/?tiger_aff=s&cc=A_fcid=000055 ) and download their latest divx codecs, it will allow you to play .avi files.\n\nNote: Having all and most up-to-date codecs installed on your computer will allow you to play any media format.

Hi,\n\nWhat I would suggest for your issue is to download the VLC software. It's great and already has all the codecs you need. I'm using it and every-time I've got a video to watch It works with that latter.\n\nSo you can go to : http://www.download.com (and search for "VLC") and click on the latest one : "VLC Media Player".\n\nThere you go !!! Have a nice day.\n\nMichael.

You need a program that can play it. But just use one, do not download a bunch of them. If you have a program that is trying to play it, update that program.\n\nEasiest thing is use the latest free WINDOWS MEDIA file:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx\n\n or any free avi player:\n\nDownload Video Players - Video - Free Downloads - Soft32.com ...

You don't have the suitable codec. If it's an avi, you can try http://www.divx.com for codecs.

If you want to play avi files on Windows Media Player 9 then you will need to add some codec so WMP can read and play these files.  Please refer to Chris Lanier's article on how to install and you the codecs.\n\n"Guide To AVI Playback In Windows Media Player" -- C. Lanier\n(http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/articles/10453.aspx)\n\n"Basic Information:An AVI is a container format that will hold audio and video.  Windows Media Player does support playback of AVI files, but in the past few years their have been many new codec's developed to compress the audio and the video that is inside the AVI file." -- excerpt from article.

Is it .vi or .avi? I use Windows or VLC Media Player, which works on most media files. If the file requires a specific program, then you'll have to download it.

You first need to know what codec the AVI file was encoded in so that you can find hte right codec. These days it's almost always divx or its opensoursce rival Xvid.\n\nTo check what codec was used to encode the movie you should try Gspot (you got a dirty mind) and work accordingly\n\nhttp://dvd.box.sk/index.php?pid=soft&prj=info&rid=8009\n\nI havent worked with the new version so i can't give you exact instructions. Basically you click FILE then you browse to where your AVI is, click it and open. It's all there.\n\nTo download divx visit \nhttp://www.divx.com\n\nto download Xvid\nhttp://www.xvid.org/\n\nIf you have downloaded the neccasary codecs and it still wont play, there might be a problem with one of the index's in the file, possibly the first one. in this case you could try divfix to rebuild the index.\n\nhttp://www.divx-digest.com/software/divfix.html\n\nThere are also all in one codec packs but i don't reccomend any. All the codecs can be found at \n\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com\nhttp://dvd.box.sk
