.AVI files

does anyone know of any (free) media player(s) that supports/plays .avi files??

thanks

eee. windows media player?

Windows Media Player does the trick. If you're not a fan of that, then try the DivX player

that's what i figured but i'm getting this error message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

VideoLan VLC Media Player is the best one I've ever had. It plays pretty much everything for you without having to install any codecs on your own.

thanks, Dahl! worked out fine and i don't have to go through all these other hurdles!

mr gordon....i think i know waht your trying to watch in .avi format.....hehehe.....but windows media player can only play about 15 .avi types.........and looking for codecs might get you adware/spyware to your computer......videolan VLC is a perfect player....i recommend that too

lol not this time. if it's too much of a hassle just to view a little pron clip, i don't even bother. i was trying to view "interstella 5555": the collaboration of menga legend Leiji Matsumoto and one of my fav bands- Daft Punk.

i think even at some point mtv played daft punk's video one more time, which basically was a small clip of the movie

I believe QuickTime plays .avi files.....but its a bit unstable.
