Windows Media Player Won’t Play AVI? To solve this problem, I will give this tutorial to show you how to make Windows Media Player play AVI files on Your PC or Portable Devices.
Windows Media Player is a great program developed by Microsoft for viewing audio, video and viewing images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. Windows Media Player claims to support AVI media files, however,there are still some issues when you want to play AVI in Windows Media Player. For example, Fraps uses its own proprietary codec to encode its AVI movies which will not play in Windows Media Player.
The problems occur when playing AVI videos using Windows Media Player lie in that Windows Media Player lacks the proper AVI compressor/decompressor or codec. If you want to watch AVI movies on WMP directly, here are some very easy solutions for you:
- Method 1. Install codec package
In order to enable the windows media player to play audio or video formats that are not included in the operating system by default, you would have to obtain the necessary codecs. For instance, to play AVI movies well with WMP, you need to install DivX or XviD codecs first.
Get DivX codecs at: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DivX-5 and XviD codecs at http://www.koepi.info/xvid.html. Then restart your computer and you can then play .avi files with Windows Media Player.
Or get K-Lite Codec Pack, a collection of codecs. Generally speaking, with K-Lite Codec Pack installed, you can play almost all the movie and the AVI files should be able to play in Windows Media Player. (Download K-Lite Codec Pack at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm)
- Method 2. Play AVI videos in Windows with VLC
As an alternative, you can use the VideoLAN program, which is also known as the VLC Media Player. The VLC media player is an open source program developed by the VideoLAN organization. The VLC Media Players comes with a large library of audio and video codecs pre-installed. For some people, this option serves as an alternative to using the windows media player which needs to be manually upgraded and tweaked in order to play certain file types.
