I think I researched that error on the forum once before. I believe it's a codec issue. You need the correct one. Keep in mind there's many types of AVI. AVI is a wrapper, but inside there can be variations of types of video such as divx, etc.

Here's search results: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=ClassFactory

And here's some codecs: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html (choose Mirror2link only) OR http://www.click-now.net/html/K-LiteCodecPack.htm

*** OR get yourself a backup player that's free & has built-in codecs that plays ALL the new video formats (Except the odd wmv file.):VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site)
