What viewer should I use for .avi's?

[quietrain]

I have been trying to watch some of the videos, but they're in .avi format and I can't seem to get Windows Media Player 10 to play them. I can hear the song, but there is no video played to go with it. What viewer should I be using instead, or is there a way to get the media player to view them?

Thanks, probably a question that's been aksed before, but *shrug*. Any help is appreciated!

Sounds like you don't have the right codec.

I suggest installing ffdshow; you can find builds of it here:

(I suggest getting one of the more recent alphas, 2004 or newer.)

You are my hero. *grin* I've been trying to figure it out for about a week now and finally gave up and asked. Thank you!

Oh yeah, I forgot: for future reference, this website now has a guide to what to do when you can't play back a video.
