Hi!

What kind of media player will play .avi video files? Windows Media Player doesn't seem to.

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers

Windows Media Player is rubbish.


VLC will play any AVI file you can throw at it:

Edit: Avoid the site suggested by the previous poster. It's dangerous.

Or,

Media Player Classic

Bowmann is right. Both spyware and popups.

This is not a good alternative to VLC.

That is a matter of opinion.
It is regarded by many people, who know what they are talking about, as better.

It is a matter of fact.

MPC can fail to play the occasional AVI.


Edit: Granted, to many people its interface will look better.

I've always found MPC more user-friendly. Though I did like VLC when I had it.
