A better solution is to use Mplayer. You'll have to download it from Internet, with the win32 codecs, but it's worth the effort. -------------------- MSc. Alberto García Fumero Usuario Linux 97 318 Centro de Información para la Educación MINED ¿Window$? No, gracias!

If you talking about DivX files - Mplayer will do nicely. Or player from DivX.com. If not - and you talking about original avi files (raw format from windows, if i am not mistaken) - regular aktion! player will do.
