Question

Zoom player say "unable to play avi files" MPC Star Player says "Cannot render the file" Media Player says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file".

If a a lot player say it can't play it when you are sure it can, that mean something is wrong with the video.



you can try using more other player like, VLC player, or play it in other computer and see.
