Thanks

Are you trying to play a file and it wont work? WHere did it come from? If it wasn't a company, it might have been made with a third party codec.

He says it's uncompressed avi, thus it cannot be anything that the standard avi file (huge). Wmp will do fine, so will just about any other player that plays multimedia files.

I have tried Media Player of course but it does not work. When selecting Properties it shows as AVI File "Uncompressed".

Yeah, I've gotten a couple of those before, but couldn't open them either. Just ended up deleting. If anyone knows... I would also be grateful.

Well, they can also be divx encoded. If you know for sure that the clip is 10minutes long and it's only 60mb in size or so then you know for sure it's not uncompressed.
To play divx files you need a codec.
Get one from www.divx-digest.com (http://www.divx-digest.com)

Where did it come from? What was it created with? There are a bunch of different codecs that you may not have installed.

I might be wrong, but when i create uncompressed avis with premier, they are about 7 megs a second. you can try getting a program called divfix that rebuilds the index of avis. it works for incomplete divx files, and it is worth a try.

Muno, you're wrong about can only be a standard AVI file. If I record an AVI with my ATI card, it will use a third party codec. It's not compressed at all, still has the AVI extension, but these codecs must be downloaded from ATI's site to view the files. Jake, there is a way to see what kind of codec was used to record it. I think it involves opening the file with wordpad, which consumes a lot of system resources, its near the top somwhere.
