I downloaded some .AVI files, and Winamp is supposed to run it but for somereason, it won't.
Anyone know any good player that can play .avi files? |

An .avi file is just a wrapper for a variety of formats, but often DivX-encoded files are wrapped as .avi files. You can try getting a free DivX encoder-decoder (codec) here: http://www.divx.com/divx/codec.php. That might work.

Maybe you got the Winamp that doesn't support AVI playback, because they offer a Lite, Standard and Full version. |

Winamp 5 PRO only offers more settings about ripping and encoding stuff. If you're trying to view .avi files, you would need to decode it, and you use a codec for that (although I thought that you were given the option to install codecs during the winamp installation, but now I'm not sure).
