Depends on the particular .avi file. Some are recorded without sound. Have a link, so someone else can test it?

Are you using VLC Player? Have you tried converting the .avi file to a different playback format? If you're trying to use Quicktime to play the .avi, you'll need Perian http://perian.org/

QT has problems even with the extensions.

get VLC and your AVIs will be golden.

AVI does seem to be rather unreliable considering it popularity.

QuickTime is a bit gay tbh for not supporting it, i have the Xvid codec and i think its the A53 audio codec, which i downloaded from a guide by a website called InstallingCats, will try perian, Thanks

QT has some faults, but I think it's unfair to bash QT for the poor quality of coding in AVI. Do try out VLC though it does a good job with the AVIs.

Perian FTW !!!!111, but now i cant get rid of the other codecs i installed, i put my password in and delete it then when i try to remove it from trash, it says the Xvid codec is currently in use and cannot be delted, i tried both Stop and Continue neither worked.

Yeah, i must admit QuickTime is good at what it does, but it should support avi
