no controls on avi regardless of player

[BwanaP]

I have an avi movie I downloaded and when it starts up it automatically goes full screen and no controls are available regardless of which player I open it with (DivX player, realone, wmp).

This must be some coding in the avi itself since I have many other clips/movies playing without problem. What is this? Can I remove/change this with virtualdub or other?

what does gspot say? just avi doesn't say much about the video.

and try the BEST player, media player classic. .

Sorry it did happen to all clips, so must have been some windows setting. I don't know what it was, I just used restore to go back a few days and now everything plays. I did have this once before so am curious what in windows could cause this.
