AVI is jsut a containter, various "codec's" can be used to encoded both the
audio and video "inside" the AVI.

Using a DirectShow decoding filter such as FFDShow will decrease the
problems you could run into with codec problems. FFDshow will decode XviD,
DivX 3/4/5, 3IVX, and has support for many other codec's. It can be
downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/2snnx. (Download ffdshow-20020617.exe and
then run it's installer)

If you just wish to install the individual codec's for your specific video
or FFDShow doesn't support the codec for you file please do the following.
- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)
- Run the installer, open GSpot, goto File>>Open.
- Look for the 4CC code for the file's Video Codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)
-If you don't get audio, what codec does it use? GSpot also tells you this.
 
Try downloading a Gspot. It will tell you what codecs are needed to play a
specific avi file. FFdshow is a good all around codec for playing avi files
and is a must if you want to display subtitles. You may also need an AC3
sound codec as a lot of avi files seem to be encoded with it now. Koepi's
v1.0 build 09052004 is also a good codec for playing XVid and Divx files.
