Media Player can read basic AVI files. But AVI files encoded with DivX, XviD or MPEG-4 may be a problem. Head over to Doom9.org and go to the download section. Grab the Gordian Knot Codec Pack - it will have just about every AVI codec you'll ever need. And unlike other codec packs, the Gordian Knot Pack properly installs all the codecs and doesn't make a mess of your registry.
