Have you tried to play the AVI with GSpot?

Open up your AVI, click Render button to check if your installed codecs will work, and finally select File Play from the menu.

I did what you said "jyn999" , the rendering says that it's ok... and when i open it with GSpot, the soud seem ok but the screen is green and the program shut down in seconds (WMP, divxplayer, bs playerquictime,...).... the same that when I dont open it with GSpot....

any other ideas???
anyone?
PLEASE!!

Maybe the video part of your AVI file is just a green screen

Can you download another copy?

Try uninstalling any old versions of the mpeg 4 codecs and reinstall the latest Divx and Xvid.

Or maybe your DIVX codecs are corrupt. You might try reinstalling them. Also, if you installed a codec pack this can happen.

Try VLC media player. It may be able to play the files without the 'green'.

EDIT: And what junkmalle said.

thank everyone so much for their help.... spécially for Redwudz... cause the VCL player solved the problem ..... I dont know what it was but i can now play the files!

thanks everyone!

I believe VLC uses it own codecs. Which probably confirms that your other codecs are corrupt. But glad it works.
