Quick help
« on: Feb 20, 2008, 08:43: AM »
I want to watch something I just completed downloading, but the file type is in AVI and none of my shit would play it. Media Player, Real, Quick time and Win DVD. What program plays this type of file or at least converts it to a better format like WMV.

VLC plays everything. ;)

Or you can use WinAvi to convert it.

Glad to help. Let me know if you have any problems with WinAvi or if it requires a key if you're using that method.

VLC

You can play all video files and music files, and even stream. Also, you wouldn't need to convert and take the risk of your media player still not being able to play the file.  :thumbsup:
