    Hi, you said it, it's the video codec issue, you can use mediainfo to find out the video and audio codec of your video files, then download and install the right codecs to play your video files, or you can directly download and install RZ Video Converter, it built-in a free all-in-one codec and free media player, it supports any avi video files, just play any video files, it's free. Of course, it also can convert any videos or audios between any different formats, but the video converter module isn't free, just play any video files, it is free and without any limit. Have a try by yourself. Yahoo or google search and download rz video converter. Hope it can help you.
