Quick Computer Quistion??

[THE BOUNCER]

What program do I need to play avi. files? The windows media player will play mpg. and mpeg., but it won't play avi. Please be specific as I am not really all that computer oriented. Any help will be appreciated. thanks

avi's should be played by your media player, unless its a particularly old versiojn. newer versions can be downloaded from microsoft.com

otherwise what might be it is sometimes AVI's can have codec's associated with them, meaning you also need a codec to play the damn things. dont ask me where you get them, try tucows.com or yahoo search

Irfan View32 plays .avi .

if you need codecs, it will automatically ask you if you want to get them, then you click ok, and it will take you to the webpage.

If it doesn't automatically downalod the Codec go to www.download.com and do a search.

It's probably an avi that's been encoded with divx.

You can get the codec from here

Media Player is OK. But for some divx get APlha divx, it can read almost any video file. It will upgrade your Media Player.
