Comment: Is there a extension I need to run avi files.
I have the newest quicktime and windows
media player. Whenever I try to open
them I get a message saying there is a
docompressor I need but it is not on the
quicktime site. Thanks

Reply: (edit)AVI files tend to be reliant on a specific
'codec' file (compressor/decompressor)
to play. When they are created or saved
out they still retain the need to have the
proper codec for playback installed on the
users machine. I don't know how to figure
out WHICH codec you may need for any
particular file that won't play. There are
MANY codecs to be had. Good hunting.

Reply: (edit)when you open up the player, get the
movie information, go to video track and it
will tell you which codec it is using..

Reply: (edit)i think that you need to download a divx cache programme. www.divx.com. that will allow you to use files like avi with media player.
