How to Play AVI Movies


If you do not have a proper viewer on your computer, search for "Video for Windows" runtime drivers for your platform at http://www.shareware.com. These drivers will allow you to play with MPLAYER.EXE that comes with Windows, usually located, where else, in windows directory. I placed a copy in my directory for easy downloading (vfw11a.zip, 1298K bytes). Furthermore, the .AVI files here use Intel's Indeo R32 codec (compression-decompression scheme); if your MPLAYER (which is a program that comes with MS Windows, usually under \windows\mplayer.exe) or viewer displays a blank screen, you can download the Indeo driver directly from Intel: If Intel's ftp server is busy or relocated, try my directory at the University of Maryland: I may consider swtiching to other movie formats, e.g., QuickTime (MOV) or MPEG, or other codec if I receive too many complaints.
