I am not able to paly avi files

Try a codec pack for your problems as there seem to be a lot of them.

dadinho,
Your files need to be extracted with winrar. Either that or you could remove the .___ and place the . before the avi and play.

So try to extract the files with winrar.

Ravi1233,
You’re obviously missing the codec or codecs that are used for the .avi files.

For those having multiple problems go for the k-lite codec pack and select the codecs you require.

ya this is what i did: i downloaded tons of codecs, after i downloaded a movie from the internet that is avi. wont play on wmp, i dont know what to do

Try VLC Player.

Or use Gspot to check which codec(s) oyu require for the file(s) to play.

HAVING PROBLEMS PLAYING AVI FILES ?
I TRY TO PLAY AN .AVI FILE BUT PICTURE DOESNT COME BUT I CAN HEAR THE VOICE.
I HAVE DivX AND Xvid BUT STILL NO HOPE...

CAN SOMEBODY HELP IN SOLVING THIS PROMLEM???????????

THANKS....

Did you try using G-Spot Codec Information Tool?

It should tell you if you have the proper codecs installed for both audio and video to work.

Fucking G-Spot does fuck all. All I ever get is 'codec undetermined' from that shit sucker. Get VLC player or GOM player those should work. They have codecs with them.

I recently came across a movie on limewire that i wanted to see, I downloaded it, and Media Player says its unsuported. I downloade GSPOT and it says it is not a valid avi file. Ive tried every media player out there, winamp, medai player classic with ffdshow, vlc, adobe premiere, real player, divx, xvid. Ive tried changing the file extensions to that of other movie formats, ive tried to use the smartsoft converter, it doesnt recognise it. Anybody have any ideas of something that might work. Any help would be appreciated. If you want email me directly at sgt_hobo0051@yahoo.com Just put moviecodec in the subject bar and send me a link if you find something that works

Darshanw’s solution above worked like a charm thanks mate!

CodecAllIn1 includes bad components (MMSwitch) that will cause your system to crash. You should avoid that nasty package at all costs.

(I was referred to this old thread by a new link.)
Speaking for myself only, as always.

STILL not works with Codecs6022_allin1

wMP give error message..

i love pie and hate avi

WOW. thank you Darshanw! i’d been having the same problem as everyone else, my comp just stopped playing .avi files. but i went to where Darshanw said and it fixed it right away. SWEEEEEET!

thanks again

i have downloaded some movies in AVI format, but the first 2 minutes is some ad saying it won’t play unless i go to their website and pay for codec, the file shows 700mb but only the first 2 minutes play, have downloaded K-lite codecs etc. still no good, how do i remove the first part of the file so i can watch the movie, help anyone??
