My Avi Files Are Not Running In Windows Media Player Earlier It Was?

1. Dinesh Says

   You can’t always tell the contents of a file by its filename. I’ve seen too many renamed file extensions and fake filenames to state the contrary. Your best bet is to use a diagnostic tool such as gspot or avicodec to tell you exactly what’s in the file: the container, video codec, and audio codec. Usually video codecs in the AVI container will be identified by their fourcc (four character code) and audio codecs by their tag number. Once you know what you need, you can search it on the web and download and install it.
   I wouldn’t really recommend codec packs, but if you must get one, get the ffdshow-tryout filters, or an alternative player such VideoLan.
   Another thing to keep in mind is you may sometimes encounter incomplete, truncated, or AVI files of incorrect length (gspot will tell you). Windows Media Player can’t play those, even if you have the right codec. What you’d need is something like Media Player Classic or AVIPreview.

   Hi, you should note, avi is a media container format which can be encoded with many different video and sound codecs, such as divx, xvid, mjpeg, rle, etc, and windows media player just support few special codec avi files well, the best video format for windows media player is wmv video, so you’d better use a right software to convert avi files to wmv files, then you can play the converted wmv files on windows media player well, you can follow me to use RZ Video Converter to help you, it can convert any video files and audio files between different formats/codecs, such as convert your avi videos to wmv files within good quality, yahoo or google search and download RZ Video Converter, hope it can help you.
