Title: Playing .avi files in media player
Post by: Caio on May 20, 2008, 02:35:00 PM

So, I need help with this, the media player says it needs a codec thing, I remember I download it in my old computer, but I can't find the file again

Thanks

Many different things you could use. I usually just stick with:

Can play avi files in WMP then.

I got the basic version which works very well.

I thought Windows Media Player runs .avi without any codecs or plugins? Didn't notice it but I have those codecs but not to play .avi's.
EDIT: didn't check the dates, sorry. Won't matter it's only in the Computer section I guess?

AVI is just a container format - the file author decides which codec to use, so a DivX file can be an avi file. Even wmv and mpeg can be avi files.
madman gave a good link though - Its a pack of some popular codecs which are used in avi files and therefore you have a wider range of avi files you can open.
