anyone know where i can get one of these. i could search google but maybe someone here has one already or knows of on ealready.

should play avi itself mate,... dunno try to get the latest DivX codecs.

I use FFDSHOW.

Ya i thought so to but it just does not want to play it.

FFDShow is a really great video codec that doesn't use as much ram. Thats what I use to playback divx,xvid,ect. If you want to get like a super mega codec try something like the K-lite codec package. You can get these at place to get em Also go download the Media Player Classic. It's Waaaaay better than Windows Media Player 10. Uses less memory.
