Re: Vista won't play or edit .avi files
Hmmmmmm that what FFDShow is, and it still won't let you play it in WMP?
Here is a DirectShow Decoder Filter but i'm not sure that will help with the AVI issue I'm really stumped, everything that should work you have tried  I'm going to check if anyone else has an idea Regards Craig

KLite comes with a small program called GSpot. Drag one of your AVIs into GSpot from Windows Explorer and it will give you full audio/video codec details and tell you if you have the right files installed.

Re: Vista won't play or edit .avi files
It's useful to keep KLite installed and regularly updated because it allows you to play and edit 99% of all media filetypes..... with the exception of Fraps FPS1 apparently

Re: [SOLVED] Vista won't play or edit .avi files
I have exactly the same problems. All my avi files will not play on vista although they play fine on my older xp system. I have tried everything listed above and more! The only way is to open the file on a xp system and use movie maker to save them as wmv :(
Microsoft should really take the responsibility for this. Sugata Mitra |
