New .avi movies use a codec called DIVX / MPEG4. Its quite new and there are quite a few different versions. I have a lot of trouble playing .avi's also. The best solution is to get a copy of DIVX Player and Windows Media Player 6.3 (Almost impossible to find on the web as Microsoft removed it from their site) Also you might want to try downloading all the MPEG4/DIVX codecs you can find. I have quite a few and I can get most .avi's to play properly. The extentions I have are: MS MPEG 4.2 MPEG4 - Divx 3.0b3 3ivx Delta 2 Decoder Hope this helps. Regards, Scott
