HELP need to convert h.264 avi to mpeg

[thanosazlin]

I outside the U.S. and trying to watch my favorite college football team's game the game i d/l was a .avi file but i couldn't view it... i ran it through video inspector and it said i needed an Intel ITU H.264 codec that i didn't have... i am really confused on what i need to get in order to view this .avi file ????

also i would like to be able to convert it to mpeg and burn on dvd which i know how to do i just need to convert it

so again being able to view it and convert it would be nice but if i can only view it i will live with that...

thanks so much ... please help me quickly as I am dying to watch this game

i loaded it but it didn't seem to help... also from the website you sent me to it had me download a file called MicrosoftMPEG4.zip when i unzipped it and right clicked on the .inf file to install this codec all the files it was replacing already existed and where newer..?

i proceeded anyway and now i can't even play the .avi files... where as before i could at least play and hear the audio but could not get any video from the .avi file inside windows media player....???

help more please ???
