Linda,

What sort of files were they – remind me.

Do they end in ".avi" ?

Bill.

Hi, Linda,

Just curious, but is the computer in question a Mac? I ask because my Mac used to play AVIs (which lots of my video files are), and one day I got the "automatic 'Flip for Mac' update" which was supposed to enhance both Quicktime's and Windows Media Player For Mac's abilities for playing a frackload of video file extensions (including AVIs).

After downloading the "update" and running the install I found that my Mac no longer plays AVis. It says to play AVis I need to download the "Flip for Mac AVI Player for Quicktime" (which I then did). And after installing that, still no more AVIs on the Mac, and it says I need to download… (The wife calls it the "lather, rinse, repeat" syndrome.)

So I still use the old "Type-40" PC for viewing my AVIs.

Dino.

Flip for Mac is a serious pain in the fundament. VLC is my player of
choice, it doesn't freeze after 5 changes of region like the built-in
DVD player does. It doesn't worry about region, anyway. It's an open
source freebie and plays superbly. Worth looking for and downloading.

VLC, eh? I think I'll look into that.

Thanks, Elaine.

Dino.
