First things first....you have to download it first...if it aint fully downloaded NUTHIN is gonna play it. I dont know where you are downloading from but if a dialog box pops up and asks you if you want to open it or save it to disk, pick save it to disk and put it somewhere you can find it. After its downloaded just double click it.

An avi file is a video, not a text file.  Try playing it in a video player like Windows Media Player or Divx.

First you need to convert your AVI file to mpeg2 stream format.  You can pay some money and buy a commercial converter or try doom9\n\nhttp://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/avi2dvdr.htm\n\nlook around the website this is where I go when I need any video/audio help\n\nhttp://www.afterdawn.com\n\nhas a lot on video and audio too.

Just use the regular video embed code. It should play using quicktime like a normal quicktime file.

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.

Codec is to play back video. That isn't hardware specific (meaning that they work on any PC).\nThere's also THOUSANDS of codecs out there.\n\nDownload that program to see what codec you need for your video file. Then do a search for that codec and install it.

There are many convertors available for this task. You just need to know what is the format of the movie you are trying to play, and then just search on the net for the convertor. Whenever I need to find the convertor I would use the following string: avi to mpg, or something like that. Great site for tools like this is www.download.com\n\nGood luck

East Peasy.\n\n\n\nWhat you need to do is properly extract a media player that functions properly with these files such as vlc or winamp and then install the files to your pc directly.\n\nBasically you need to extract the file to your desktop do a search at google for these media players thats part one of the plan to watch it as vlc media player can play any sort of media file available to you on the web.\n\nThen do another search for a couple illegal file sharing programmes called bitlord or or bitcommet and then download one of them and then basically after that extract them download the files and try a few torrent sites such torrentspy.com and isohunt or go to www.p2pforums.com and they can give you a list of sites to use one you download a torrent client which has every file on the web including films you won't have much trouble finding the file your looking for..

Well you might want to find the proper codec that will alllow you to play asx and avi videos on your real player.  \nAlthough I do think that by default you can play avi videos using realplayer.  \nhttp://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260367\ntry this link.
