AVI files I presume? And the answer is codecs.
An uncompressed AVI file can happily be played by Windows[/vbcol] Media Player[vbcol=seagreen]
without any additional codecs. However it takes up[/vbcol]files, found online[vbcol=seagreen]drive space per hour of footage. Hence 99% of all AVI[/vbcol]with which codec the[vbcol=seagreen]are compressed. To play these files, you need to know[/vbcol]then the file will[vbcol=seagreen]file was compressed, download and install that codec and[/vbcol]with, download and[vbcol=seagreen]play.
To discover which codec your AVI file was compressed[/vbcol]have to download and[vbcol=seagreen]install G-Spot Codec Identifier from[/vbcol] http://www.headbands.com/gspot/[vbcol=seagreen]
Once you've found out which codec was used, you'll then[/vbcol]install it. The two most popular are xVid and DIVx.
