it is a movie file, but windows media player often has trouble playing avi files, and sometimes has trouble even if you have the codec installed.
go to www.divx.com. there you can download a media player that will play .avi files perfectly.

Even though .avi is a video file. Your windows media may not be fully decode some of the video image.
For example: You may need Divx codec with windows media to play some of the .avi file.
you can try to download the free version in
www.divx.com

Ok AVI is Audio Video Interlaced its a windows specfcation and has been in use for many years. There are other AVI's that require a codec but AVI does not always mean it needs codec.

It's a video file that is highly compressed compared to most standards. AVI however is not a standard format, thus you need to download the codec the avi file was made with. Most likely, it's divx.

AVI files are video - but there are several different "flavors" of AVI - one has already been mentioned, DivX. Another popular version is XviD. Generally, I recommend installing BOTH codecs to ensure you can play the vast majority of AVI files out there.

It is audio and video. If you lack a DVD or similar codec it will only play the audio and not the video side of the interlace.
