Media Player plays AVIs fine. &nbsp;You need the codecs required to play the AVIs - XviD and DivX are two of the most common and are not included with windows. &nbsp;Download them, install them, and you should be fine.<br />

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.
