My G.E. arctic white refrigerator won't play them either. You needno keysplay .avi's, not 'just' a computer of any particular color scheme. You are not saying what app you are using, or WHAT happens when you TRY to play .avi files. Abort? Ignore? Retry? (YOU, not the FILE).

Paint your mac another color. AVI files are partial to RED. I have a red pencil box and AVI files play just fine on that. (Abort? Ignore? Retry?....slick one...I'm old enough to "get" the joke.)
