usually media players that support .avi format which alot do including windows media player that is allready on the computer can play it.
You need a codec in order to run such files and they are available here at:
http://www.free-codecs.com/ I would recommend K-Lite Mega Codec Pack since I use it myself or you can install standalone ones.
don't install k-lite mega codec pack, it installs a lot of **** you don't need.
either you go looking for the codecs you need, but if you don't know how to find out, the easy solution is: vlc, the player that will play everything, going form dvd, to wmv, avi, bin files,... it's here: http://www3.telus.net/jefmil/Stairway%20to...aven%20clip.mp3 it's free it's good!
if you don't mind switching to a different media player try VLC media player from the VideoLAN Team. it'll decode any format you can think of except for maybe a very select few. It's open source and freeware so check it out.

I know this is a bit of advertising, and I did mention it in another thread, but have you tired Irfanview?
It can play practically anything and you get it from www.Irfanview.com Enjoy

I like IrfanView because it’s small and has tons of features. I would recommend it to anyone.
try getting quicktime and using their codecs or others available,
I haven't had any probs
IrfanView is freeware only for personal use
If you use it without a licence in a company that is a no no. QUOTE (Rudy @ Apr 25 2005, 08:36 AM) I like IrfanView because it’s small and has tons of features. I would recommend it to anyone.

Jesus Christ wanted to know how he could run .AVI files from ebaum's world. That seems pretty much like personal use to me.
I know I'm posting again, but I'd just like to say thanks to Rudy for pointing that out to me - thank you

the best of all best is Divx Player
its 100% free DivX Play Bundle (Includes DivX Player and DivX codec) DivX Play lets you: Play any DivX video Add DivX playback support to your existing media player http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/
I'm sure that Windows Media Player also plays .avi formatted files doesn't it? I think you can also use DivX to play them. Can someone please correct me if i'm wrong? Thanks.
They also play in Winamp... I downloaded and installed the DivX codec, configured my winamp to play all media files by default, and they place just peachy for me. Also play in PowerDVD though a *little* of the picture quality is lost.

Anybody know which program? Windows media player, Quicktime, Real player etc....... .avi is a standard file format. You comuter should be able to read it. Try updating the versions of the said programs.
