I have an avi file that won't play....why? Someone suggested a bad codec or something but I don't think that's it as the codec it uses works fine in other vids.
Downloaded via torrent, it's a TAS.

Likelihood you're missing FFDShow if it's what I think it is...

Try this...

I tried it with both WMP and Winamp, didn't work in either.

I suppose it's possible, but I could've sworn other vids used FFDShow and worked fine...well, downloading that now...

It's the most up-to-date codecs I know of for this case...if this doesn't fix it, then I'll likely think that there's something wrong with the vid...

...and you should really consider getting the original emulator movie file instead unless it's some dumb N64 run.

I usually do, if possible. But the avi has "extra stuff"

Well, there's always VLC.

VLC usually runs it just fine for me, but occasionally VLC will inexplicably break for no reason until reboot.

But yeah, I've never had a problem with TASes in VLC (aside from above), even without downloading any extra codecs.

Have you killed all stray VLC processes? (protip: PsTools is a lifesaver when one uses Windows)

All it will do is sit at the default window (rolled up, no video display), and when "stop" is clicked, the video window will show up for a fraction of a second.

I'll make sure to give that a try next time I encounter it, though.

wonders why OSX does not come with their version of MSPaint?

Not sure what video/audio codecs your AVI file uses, use AVICodec. It tells you what they are so that you know whether or not you have them.
