Compression and .avi files???

[Aztri]

I have recently tried to play several large .avi files with several programs, including Window's Media Player and Quicktime Pro. Each time I try it, I get a message saying that the video type is not supported. What do I need to do to get these video files to work???

if its divx you need to download the codec. doom9.org has it.
