Playback of avi files on multimedia player not working

I recently purchased a multi media player so I can watch avi files direct on my tv. I have found some avi files are not working properly. They play ok to a point then the video freezes but the audio keeps going. The files are all from the same provider. Can I fix this problem pls?

 

AVI files are not all the same.
You should use a tool such as Gspot, to investigate the files,
it will reveal audio and video codecs,and other detailed info.

Compare the videos that play Vs. those that don't.

 

After comparing the videos that play with those that don't, try this tool/app to try and fix them for standalone compatibility playback..

I will give this a try thanks

 

also try a different player.vlc is a really good one.

 

G Spot was able to show what I suspected that these files had common codec. AVI Recomp worked brilliantly in that by recompressing the avi file it now works perfectly on my stand alone multimedia player. Thanks so much. I only wish I had asked sooner.
