Where Can I Find An .avi Player?

Mantrid

I can't find one, and the trailer (which I haven't seen yet) is in the .avi format.

Windows Media Player 9 can't open it, because it has an "error downloading codec".

So, if someone could point me towards a player, or a Windows Media Player 9 avi codec...

Renegade.

.avi s should be able to played in Mplayer no problem, try reinstalling it, downloading a codec pack, or rename the extension to .mpg (sometimes their interchangeable).

Get divx and xvid codecs too. (google for them).

UnderDOG

quicktime is what .avi's are made for.

Mantrid

Quicktime says its an unrecognized filetype...


Maybe its because I'm using it on Windows...


I always feel so dirty, like I sold a little bit of my soul, everytime I use a piece of Macintosh software...

Do what chaos said, get the codecs for it.

ASnogarD

Download <a href='http://www.divx.com' target='_blank'>DivX</a>, that will get you the codec and a alternative player.

and google for a codec pack like klcodec203f

Okay. Let me start by saying I have tried virtually all programs that are listed above, and every one of them is fallibe, except for one (not mentioned):

Kazaa-lite codec pack and media player classic.

I have yet to see a video format (real, qt, mov, avi, mpg) fail to play on it.

quicktime = crap.

if you have a ati card look for the fileplayer on there site.
or you could pm me your email and i could give you my version of fileplayer, doubt it would work tho.

Pfft, hardly. Its the only good media player out there.

And as said, you need the Divx codec. It has nothing to do with the player. You need Divx. Plain and simple.

With <a href='http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358' target='_blank'>Media Player Classic</a> and the <a href='http://hellninjacommando.com/defilerpak/' target='_blank'>DefilerPak</a> you will be set to play any Avi, mkv, mov, mkv, ogm, and even some .rm files. And it does DVD too.

BSPlayer is nice. Search on google for it.

ANY of the players listed will play the AVI **IF** you get the correct decoder/codec for it.

Go download a program called "GSPOT". Open the AVI with it and it'll tell you what codec(s) you need. Then go DL those codecs.

The trailer uses Divx v5.0.5. You don't <b>need</b> any of those other codec packs or video applications to play the trailer.
