THANKS, didnt think just renaming file ext would do it
but it does, though MS warns it may not play correctly
but so far so good....Thanks...

but it does,

Thanks for reporting back that it worked for you. I didn't think it would make a difference when I first found it out.
But to my amazement it does work. It mainly works for AVIs from digital camera's that are compressed with the motion
jpeg codec compressor.

Did the AVI come from a video or digital camera? If so, can you tell us the
brand and model? Thanks.
