    For DivX avi files, Windows Media Player is fine, you just need a video decoder (DivX, XviD, ffdshow, etc.), an AC3 decoder if it uses AC3 audio (unlikely for 700MB's), a DTS decoder if it uses DTS (really unlikely). Could also use aac audio, once again unlikely though. Chances are that it uses mp3 audio and windows includes a decoder for that.
