AVI’s are a really normal format of video which computers should be able to play… but my computer doesn’t play them. Whenever I download something and it’s a .avi it just plays as sound in any prog I use (Windows Media Player, Quick Time says it can’t play it, iTunes fails at it). Basically anything I use to play them…it just doesn’t work. It’s been making me kinda angry because I spend some time downloading short movies or whatever off of X-Fire (nothing illegal..stuff like Pure Pwnage that I just want on my comp) and they don’t play.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? It can’t be the programs I’m using – None of them play it. Sometimes it gives codec errors (Quick Time) or just plays the audio (Windows Media Player 11).
Please help a guy out here =D
Any other info you need let me know…computer was bought in August making it quite new.
You could try using GSpot Codec Information Appliance to find out what codecs you are missing and then download them. Or you could try VLC media player which “supports a large number of media formats, without the need for additional codecs.” Hope that helps. đŸ™‚
This is a slight chance (and by slight I mean really, really small) that you may need the DivX Codec… in whih case google ‘DiVX Codec’ and download the free codec.
And I highly recommend VLC… if it can’t play your video, there’s probably something wrong with your video. :p
