problem with AVIs
 

I can download any type of movie, and they all play fine unless they're corrupt or something. But AVIs will never play in my Windows Media Player. And from what I gather its just a problem with Limewire and my player because I've downloaded AVIs from websites and they still play fine in the Media Player. I would REALLY appreciate if anyone could help me with this. Its so frustrating.

It sounds to me like a CODEC problem. You need xtra ones that will recognise the videos. There's numerous types of AVI. AVI is just the outer shell, what's inside could be a great many variants.

A list of CODECs sources can be found here: 1. Free-Codecs.com, 2. Nimo’s codec pack, 3. CoDecs & codec identifiers, 4. K-Litecode Codec Pack

Also consider getting a backup player with built-in codecs such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site)

WMP sucks! as a player it really does. lol :D

I solved this problem by downloading a free avi player from cucusoft.

Not only did it give me an alternative and easy avi player, it also seemed to solve the codec problem with WMP.

Hope this works for you too.
