The files which you have downloaded may be corrupted. try other AVI files with windows media players, File names can be an impediment to playing files sometimes. renaming the files will not gonna do the needful if your files is corrupted. If you rename an AVI file to other format, no program will be able to open it because it will think that it is something that it is not.
