AVI? WTF??

[shadowkat]

Anyone know how to read an AVI DVD on an US DVD player? I know nothing about tech stuff of this sort, I'm proud of being able to figure out financial databases. AVI vs. whatever DVD's that are sold in the US which my Sony can play are beyond me. Also as an aside, you'd think the DVD players in the US would be able to play the same DVDs sold elsewhere in the world and vice versa? This makes no sense to me.

[Frustrated - because I can't watch the Misfit DVDs - because they AVI and AVI isn't compatible with my DVD player or the DVD player in my computer - yes, I tried both.]

Have you played AVIs on your DVD player before? I have what's called a progressive scan DVD player, and it does play AVIs.

As far as your computer goes, the VLC media player is the best player I'm aware of. It pretty much plays everything. You can dl it here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

No, not until now. I loaded it in and it didn't work on the DVD player. Said no image no audio. It's a simple model.

But will try the computer download. Thank you.
