OT: .AVI player?

Gspot can identify the codecs used in nearly any movie file. It is then a relatively simple matter of downloading the codec with the help of search engine.

VLC uses its own codecs, rather than the standard ones. This has its pros and cons. I find it to be a good player as well, but I personally prefer the general feel of MPC. Try them both and see what you like.

I never watched pics with this player (it's a videoplayer, not a picture viewer...). As for the trouble with viewing several videos one after another. I don't do that (really I don't). When I use my DVD drive, I only watch one episode of Babylon 5, Star Trek, Star Gate of anything else per day. So again, I wouldn't know about this little error.
As for the codecs, like Fyron said, it has it's pros and cons. Just try it for a while and see if you like it or not.
Good luck and have fun with it!

This is truly the beauty of the internet you can ask advise about a certain program and if you don't like it, just just go ahead and try another. Truly amazing.
