There are 2 ways for you to solve this kind of issue. You can find some other free players such as Media Player Classic, Leawo Blu-ray Player, VLC (you may need to import codec) and so on.

Method 1: Play AVI in QuickTime-Install Perian Plugin
Perian is a handy free program that allows your Mac to play almost any movie format including AVI files. Installing video file add-on software will let the Mac's QuickTime player play AVI movie files on Mac as easily as it does the native QuickTime video format. In fact it claims to play all the following movie formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW, MS-MPEG4 v1 & v2, DivX, 3ivx, H.264, Sorenson H.263, FLV/Sorenson Spark, FSV1, VP6, H263i, VP3, HuffYUV, FFVHuff, MPEG1 & MPEG2 Video, Fraps, Snow, NuppelVideo, Techsmith Screen Capture and DosBox Capture.

Method 2: Play AVI files on VLC on Mac OS X
The VLC media player, is an excellent open-source media player that is known for supporting a wide range of audio and video files. Unlike other media players which have limited format-support, you will be surprised that VLC can play a video or audio file that you didn't even know existed. If your OS is Snow Leopard or higher, installing VLC is definitely a good choice especially if you only plan on watching AVI files on your computer. This disadvantages are as follows: VLC doesn't play AVI files with high qualities, VLC doesn't support El Capitan.

Hi Kaygee1986 !!

Thank you for posting to Fixya.com

This is a general problem & you can download the VLC Player from the internet, which is available for free & install it on your computer. Once you have installed the VLC player, Right click on the AVI file & choose 'Open With', then select the VLC player. That's it.

Here's the link to download the VLC player:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Hope this would be helpful.

Regard's

I have downlode 2 movies but it is not play sume code problam pls hilp me

If you are trying to use Windows Media Player it's no wonder you can't watch them or you are having codec problems. Open up internet explorer and go to google. In the google search box type in "Download VLC Player". Look at the search results and look for www.videolan.org/vlc to download the player. VLC is free open source and it is a much better player with all the drivers and codec. It runs things that windows media player has a problem playing. Once you download and install it, go to the movie file you downloaded and Right Click on it and select the Open With option. If you don't see VLC listed in the Open With options, choose the option at the bottom that says Choose Program. Look for VLC in the program list. Choose VLC to play the movie and see what happens.

I need to know if a movie file must be .mov or .mp4 in order to be placed into the MOVIE section on my Coby Mp610-2G Mp3 player, because I've added some movies to my mp3 player but they show up on when...

Your player supports MTV files encoded at 160 x 128 and 25 fps. Videos may need to be encoded with the included software for device playback.
The video converter software can be downloaded from here:

http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_num_id=212&pcat_id=1001

Simply click on "Video Converter", save file and then launch it. I hope if you use this program you can enjoy movies on your player.
Good luck. Thanks.

Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

Download and install this.. Klite Mega Codec packs.
Restart your computer and play the movie with Windows Media Player or with the player that's included with Klite Mega codec packs.. They will play smoothly without any further codec problem.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.
