Avi troubles

I have avi files from downloads that play fine in windows media player. I have avi files downloaded from my digital camera that won't play in windows media player, it crashes and wants to send errror repoet. I have gspot and it tells me the codec needed is mpeg2 motion and it is installed. I have all in one codec pact, quicktime lite alternative, and avicodec. When i use vlc to play them it says sometime is broke and do i want it to fix it. It doesn't matter if i say yes or no it just goes on and plays it fine. I prefer windows media, what is the difference in the two avi files?

 

Try opening the file in AVIDemux and saving it with a new file name (also give the extension, e.g. newfile.avi) and see if it is acceptable.

BTW is it 'mpeg2 motion' or 'motion JPEG'

 

Thanks i'll try that. And sorry for getting the Motion backward.

 

I downloaded it but can't figure out how to use it, and there are no instuctions in the help file

 

'File' => 'Open'

'File' => 'Save' => 'Save Video'

 

Tried that first but it still says error and wants to send report Thanks anyway
