How do you play AVI files?

[Medcat99]

I recently downloaded a couple of scrubs episodes that were .avi, but I can't seem to play them. All I get is audio, no video. Can anybody help me out?

Perhaps the easiest way is to get virtualdub and re-compress it in indeo video format (the compressor version has to be below 4.something). That way you don't have to change to mpg and you still get audio. It works every time for me.

Oh, and this should be in the Video section.
