What do I need play AVI files in El Capitan

• Media Player cannot play .avi files

  I saw this forum topic music & sounds, but thought it would be a better place to discuss.
  My Media Player under Win XP (with Realplayer) will not play .avi files. It will play sound but not video. This problem seems to be common to other non-Microsoft forums. On these forums some say get a pack of codecs, some say not, others say it will be such a huge pain to the difficulty I should just download a different type of player. I hope someone has a concrete answer.

  Thank you!

  John, thanks for the levant all these links, etc for me! I tried GSpot, but all he would say is 'unable to make the video' and nothing else - without mistakes, tips, nothing. I tried to look for something on this result on google, but there are so many references to video rendering GSpot it may take some real effort to find something on my specific problem. I'll try the codec pack you suggested, but I don't know if I need to remove the pack if it doesent help, or just leave them as what.
  I'll let you know how it goes.

• Re: 32BL702B refuses to play AVI files

  Hi all

  We just bought a 32 inch LED 32BL702B TV and while we are generally very happy with it, we would like to play AVI files via the USB port. We had initially received a model 32BV702B TV by mistake by the shop we ordered some and did not notice for a day or two (not really seen the TV) it was the LCD instead of the LED model.

  We used the USB to play some opinions and it was fine.
  We returned this model because it was lower (so we thought) to get one we ordered.

  I tried the same USB and the same files, but each would not play.
  It seems that he thinks that the file format is not recognized.
  Addressing Toshiba technical support (and explaining the above) resulted in the following suggestions:

  -Your TV does not support videos via USB (I had to explain where in the manual, it says it does!)
  -all TVs are different
  -You must have encoded the bad opinion / in a codec not supported
  -You need to re - encode in a different format
  -You can try to update the firmware

  MPG files (encoded in MPEG1/2) seem to work file. JPEG & MP3s work also.

  I frankly don't want to have to re - encode all my AVI to MPG files and therefore seeks an alternative if possible. As far as I can see there is no firmware update for this TV, at least none I could find.

  If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful, if it goes back to the shop.

  Thanks - Robbo

  In the manual under the C run-> File Formats supported for USB mode, you can find info.

  The Media Player supports movies with the .avi extension, but the video format must be:
  MPEG2 or 1.00 Xvid, Xvid 1.01, 1.02 Xvid, Xvid 1.03 or Xvid 1.10 - beta1/2
  In addition, the Audio Layer should be PCM

  Resolution rates and few avi files must be: max @30 1920 x 1080 p 20 Mbps

  If you must make sure that all the avi files meets these requirements

• just today, when I try to play AVI files from my digital camera... no sound plays on my pc with media player v11... I suspect it's a codec problem, but how do I know for sure?

  Hello Jorstar1,

  Thank you for your message.  Windows Media Player 11 supports .avi, but compression can dictate whether he will play or not.  This is very probably a Codec issue, you can perform a websearch for a Codec that will play any avi compression.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.
  See you soon

• Motorola XOOM to play AVI files?

  The Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is supposed to load AVI files. As the material seems identical to the XOOMs is something (software) that will come to the XOOM/honeycomb or is the owner of Samsung. I searched and asked this question on the forums of Samsung, but no answers. Heres hoping the bike forums are better.

  Thank you

  The xoom can play .avi files... I just download Rockplayer on the market.

  Hi ijudge,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers community site.

  Option 1: Change the default to player. AVI files. Follow the steps in the link to find out how to change that uses default Windows programs and Windows Media Player as default for. AVI files.

  Option 2: Download updated Codec

  If the problem persists probably you try to play a file that uses a codec that is corrupt. When you try to play a file that uses a codec that is not on your computer, the Player tries to download the codec from a Microsoft server. If the codec is available, the player installed on your computer, and then bed file. If the codec is not available on the server (for example, because the codec has not been created by Microsoft), the player displays a message stating that your computer is missing a codec.

  If you are connected to the Internet, the message is usually a help button on the Web you can click for more information. If the player can determine which codec you are missing, when you click this button, a help topic is displayed and contains a link to WMPlugins.com, a Web site that lists a number of codecs that are available for download. DivX and MPEG-2 video codecs and audio ACELP.net and Ogg Vorbis codecs are examples of codecs that are not included in the operating system or the default player.

  Option 3: You can check for errors in Event Viewer - How to display errors in the event viewer and return to the rear to correlate any further on this issue.

  You can view the log at the time the accident occurred, or you can recreate the crash for more information. Here is an article on what information is available in the Event Viewer Log file: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  Let me know if it works. Good luck!

• Windows Media Player cannot play .avi files

  OT: Windows Media Player 12

  I have Media Player 12 and it plays music very well, but I have no sound when I play a video (AVI format). I can play the same video on Quick Time player and I have the sound, then it is not the video file. Any suggestion to fix Media Player 12?

  Hello mikemonte1450,

  1. where did you get the .avi file did you download it or save it?

  2. this happens to you with the particular .avi file or all the avi files?

  3. do you have an error when you try to read the avil files on your computer?

  Windows Media Player supports the format of .avi file and you should be able to play. It seems to me that there is no available codecs to read the file format, you are trying to read. I suggest that you check the type of file you are playing, you should be able to understand this by checking the file extension.

  a. right click on the file and click Properties, under file format, you should be able to find the file type.

  You can check the link for more information on codecs below:

• Windows Media player 12 will not play .avi files

  Original title: Media Player 12

  I have WMP12 on my windows 7 and never had a problem 2 days ago. Now I can't play video files, it seems to be only the .avi files. When I click on it I get a message saying that windows media player has stopped working and is looking for a solution. Some of these files, I had some time and always played using WMP12 without problems. It will play everything, MP4, MP3, audio books simply not excerpts from movies avi, I looked for updates, codec & addons, nothing helps, any suggestions

  I already have VLC that I use for the .mkv files, but I prefer WMP it has better quality image and sound. I downloaded the codecs from the link you gave me, (Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2013-08-01) and installed it. Yay it worked. Thank you very much

• Windows Media Player for Vista, does not play my avi files and says he has a codec error?

  Came across this problem trying to put an AVI in powerpoint presentation for the school. I don't know how this happened or how to fix the error. The error indicates that windows media player is not the right codec to play the video. However, when I sent it myself and opend it upwards on another computer, which doesn't have powerpoint, it plays very well.

  I did some research as to what a codec for windows media player, that's what code and decodes the video compression. However, when I tried to download the appropriate codec file, there is nothing. Not even useful workaround solutions.

  In addition, went and downloaded quicktime and it could not read the video either.

  Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated. Thank you!

  Hi DaisyReaper,

  Are you able to play .avi files?

  You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player. Subsequently, check if you are able to read .avi files.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Reading CCTV software .avi files prob

  When I try and play .avi files saved on my hard drive to my DVR card/software version 11.0.6002.18311 for Windows Media Player (or any other player besides), I can see and hear, but there is a very important, continuous, loud, popping noise all the time. What can I do to fix this? I have Vista Home Premium, nVidia GeForce 9500 GS graphics, Realtek sound card, (I think?), and the 8-Channel DVR card (which I only use 3) card PCI PC CCTV DVR H.264 100 fps.

  Hello and thanks for this info, but I had already looked at and have no idea of what I need or what I already have, much less know what would be safe to download even if I could work on what I need - all that I know is that I have the latest version of Windows Media Player!

  It's only the .avi files by the DVR card software that won't play properly - all other .avi files play fine. So today I contacted the software support team card and explains the problem and their response is that they are now aware that there is a problem with the playback of files in WMP and are trying to put that right. Apparently, they send me an update as soon as POSSIBLE. We'll see!

  Thanks a lot for your answer anyway. I do not know others with a similar problem will find useful.

  Kind regards

• I can't read the avi file

  I can't play avi files.

  Error message from WMP: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.
  KM Player error message: number combination of filters could be found to make the stream (error Num:80040218).
  The DIVX Player error message: the file contains a track in an unknown format (code"" ") format. You may need to install a decoder directShow for video format in order to read this file.
  I tried all the codecs, directshow, directx, service packs, updates, as many players but still nothing.
  Microsoft article isn't good, because apparently you can't reinstall WMP on Vista.  All this happened after I made the recovery of the Dell system.

  It may be interesting to try to rename the file .avi
  to .mpg... believe it or not... sometimes it works.

  If this is a XviD file... you may need
  the XviD codec.

  This can be checked by using the free software GSpot:

  Download GSpot
  http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm
  (left-click the text: "Download GSpot")
  (on the next screen...
  left click: 'Download [GSpot 2.70]')

  You don't have to install it... just unzip the file and
  GSpot.exe left click to launch.

  GSpot Codec identifier
  http://www.headbands.com/GSpot/download.html

  GSpot Super quick start
  http://www.headbands.com/GSpot/v26x/Quick_Start.html

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  XviD Codec
  http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

  XviD FAQ
  http://www.xvidmovies.com/FAQ/

  Also... it may be worth trying to convert the files to
  another format like. WMV or MPG.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Good luck...
