can anyone help me? I cant play AVI video files that i downloaded. I used Windows media player and it tells me that it cant play AVI files. I have the codecs installed because i checked with Gspot. I am using Limewire Pro. Can someone plz help me?

new info has been posted today that will help you alot. go to "major topics" by lord of the rings (in this same forum you are in) and click on some of his helpful hints. You are going to need to download an alternate player in order to play these movies. I have the VLC and it does good after you've installed this open it (not actually a large screen just a control bar in the corner) and go to your movie file, right click and open with VLC. Simple after you get used to it. Hope these help

Instead of quoting a lot of other posts that have addressed this problem I will add this.

AVI Preview Player

Real Player

Quick Time Player

DivX Player

Just to name a few of the available options. All are F-R-E-E.
A simple search will get these for you. They should satisfiy most any video file.
