cannot play .avi file
Hello everybody,
I have an .avi file, to my knowledge, it's just a raw avi from a digital camera. I have Windows media player 10.0 and I cannot play it... It's saying that "... one more codecs are missing...". I don't spend too much time looking for them and I know there're tons, so would appreciate if some one help me with this.
Thank you,
Yurich
