The problem you might be encountering
is that the file that is .avi could possibly be
encoded in divx which is another
encoding format for video. Go to
versiontracker.com and search for divx
and you should get the result for the mac
divx player. See if you can play the files
with that.

hey, i've tried using the DIVX player on my
iBook, and the AVI will play, but the audio
just skips and won't play. any other
suggestions?

happy new year...
