Answer 1

go to start up, that find files and folders. Type in the name of the AVI and do a search. Whenyou find the folder it is in, than change the name from that folder. You click on it until it's highlighted and type in any name you wish. I do this with many of my song titles I make.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

reboot your system and end process for all your players on your computer because they may be using this file, or try playing another file on every media player and your problem will be solved, or if you want , copy the file and rename it
