I need a good free program that can let me view AVI videos. I used to be able to watch the videos from my camera, they are AVI, but now I can no longer watch them, any ideas?

You're welcome
Did it work?

[Lydi]

yeah it did =].
i just need to get a good video editor now because the one on my laptop won't read the videos >_< it only gives me the sound of the video.

You may have some codecs missing.

That worked great =] I can see the videos now on windows media player. but when i open Windows movie maker and try to add an AVI video it says it can't open it because i'm missing a codec

Good, good.
Is it any particular movie, or any movie (in WMM)?

[Lydi]

umm i'm not sure what your question is?? It's suposed to support different movie files, except 3GPs, and the exported product is WMV i believe.

neeverrrmiindd, it works now! for some reason.. maybe it just had a bug =] thanks for the help anyways!

I got in to video conversion of VHS to DVD and had codec issue. I found the following to help me identify what codec the avi was created with and what I have on my computer. This resolved many frustrating issues.
