maybe you should get a real computer instead of using a LAMEO mac!
uugh! now i cant even play mpg files on quicktime. says i dont have the software to play it. this is stupid, i could just play them the other day. well i guess ill re download quicktime. maybe its because i had to reinstall the system because my computer is being awfully crappy the last few days.
In the meantime, try this:
Install DivX:
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Install VLC:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
After that, you should be able to play it.
Quicktime can play AVI files, as far as I know. So you might be dealing with a DIVX, XVID, or MPEG file wrapped in the AVI.
If you send me the file (upload it to my ftp in the /upload folder), I'll tell you what you need to play it.
