Ok. Hear me out. An AVI file is uncompressed so it doesn't need plugins or codecs, correct? <br />
<br />
Here is my problem. I embeded a AVI file in a website to play. So for instance, my source code would look like this. <br />
<br />
<EMBED src=http://www.aunknownhost.com/~videos/VideoClip.AVI width=300 height=300 loop="false" border="10" autoload="true" autostart="true"><br />
<br />
Well, once loaded, the sound comes out, but the picture doesn't. I tried experimenting with Windows XP and Windows 2000. The sound and video plays for WIN XP, but not for Windows 2000. Am i missing somethign here? <br />
<br />
Realize that AVIS are not compressed and do not need additional codecs.<!--content-->You are wrong I am afraid. There are some AVI's that do need codecs... there is one that is doing the rounds at the moment. I can't remember what it is called... X something or other. Will post a link in the morning when I get home. Dont have the info at work.<!--content-->http://www.moviecodec.com/<br />
<br />
Here try the above link for a starter.<!--content-->i dont think AVI will even run on a MAC, as it is a windows movie file type. or will it?<!--content-->Originally posted by morrowasted <br />

Of course you can play AVI files with Mac. I've played AVI movies with Linux too. Windows-only, eh...
<!--content-->LoL. Avis do work on macs. I played it using quicktime<!--content-->avi= audio video interleave (spelling?)<br />
<br />
it depends what codec was used to compress the avi to know what one you need to play it!!! <br />
wayne, avi's are very much compressed!!<br />
your 2000 machine will be lacking that codec, do you have the latest windows media on that pc? <br />
