.avi sound but no picture

Everytime I download a .avi file and try and play it in windows media player I always hear it but I never have a picture. Can anyone help?

1 thing 4 certain is that, that window media player doesn’t likes 2 have sex with non compatible avi files apart from their own. In order 2 play almost every avi format that is around is 2 have either vlc or bs.

... VLC - the cross-platform media player and streaming server. VLC (initially
VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and ...

BSplayer
Multimedia application with AAC/MP4 support through DirectShow filters like 3ivx,
CoreAAC or ffdshow.

PS. If vlc couldn’t play certain files types then switch 2 bs.

IF U want 2 play window compatible files then use winamp
