There are like 100+ files from the security camera and they are all ".avi” but i cant open them.
I downloaded:

XP Codec Pack
K-Lite Codec Pack
DivX
Xvid
Codec Pack - All In 1
Theorica Divx ;-) Codecs
Matroska Pack

and many more...

The files are not broken because i opened them on the computer that is connected to the security camera and they worked just fine in the Windows media player, but on home computer the do not work.

Can anybody help me? You have any solutions?

If you want I can email you the file and you can see if it works on your computer (the files are about 4 mb)

IM just a visitor, but you should try free VLC media player. IF that won’t work, I don’t know you could...

P.S: You could download it from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Use a tool like gspot, avicodec, or mediainfo to find out what codec(s) the video uses. The video codec is usually denoted by its fourcc (four character code).
Chances it’s a proprietary codec bundled with the software of your security camera. (I’d be quite curious what the fourcc of this one is!) The manufacturer’s website may have the codec for download; if not, you may have to install the software that came with the security camera onto your home computer to view the videos.

Your question really is rare, I suggest you put AVI conversion to other formats, such as the WMV.Some simple software will be able to do even including windows movie make.
Hope to help you.
