playing avi files on your pc??

anyone know any players which support this type of file. the videos wont work on windows media.

any help wud be much appreciated

www.videolan.org/vlc

will play everything mate - use it instead of media player

cheers mate

no worries woppa

if you download a codec pack you can play everything in windows media.

where can i get that from mate?

Search for K-Lite or the Nimo codec packs

but why wud u wanna use WMP instead of VLC? :tut:

too right!

I just like to have a little amount of media programs on my pc as possible

uninstall WMP and use vnc mate - seriously

it dont user hardly any system resource and its a LOT more stable and plays anything

i've never really found a file the windows media doesn't play, so I'm happy

u have to install codecs tho

yeah but that player you listed will be the same in a few months, it's only cause its upto date at the moment, but when new stuff comes out you will need to install codecs to.

its always updated mate - just install a fresh build and u'll be bang up-to-date.

it aint just about the codecs, i find WMP just buggy and sluggish.

personal preference i guess tho

I just tend to use what I have till it lets me down and it hasn't done yet so thats why I still use it.

just one of me habbits when i install a fresh windows.

strip out the shite and put on the decent stuff
