I ******* HATE THIS POS.
For half of my computers life span my media player would not play any movies at all. Then it suddenly did, I DLed no patch, no codecs, no nothing. And now it stopped working again, I DLed all the patches and nothing changed. Not to mention I watched a video YESTERDAY. 20 FREAKING HOURS AGO.
So I tested the other videos nothing with an .AVI extension worked. .wmv works.
I watched AVI Yesterday, can anyone tell me what I should do at this point?

Make sure you have all the necessary codecs installed. I've been out of the loop a while, but Xvid and Divx are probably still popular.
Other than that, probably got some stupid malware/virus that'd be causing the random issues.

I reread it a bit. At first I thought you meant you had watched a particular video, then later tried to watch the same video and couldn't.
But really, you are just saying you watched one particular .avi file, and tried to watch a seperate. AVI is just the file extension, you need to have the proper codec to play each video, and depending on what the person who made the file used, it could be any one of many codecs.
Smash's link has a codec pack. I never really trusted large packs, usually preferred to download the codecs as I needed. (I remember a couple years ago, the big codec packs actually had conflicting codecs that would cause playback issues).

I've never, ever, had this happen. On the other hand, I guess I'm not watching a lot of video encoded with bizarre obscure codecs.

I cannot remember which two codecs it was. But one, when installed with the other, actually caused the video to playback upside down (it was actually kinda funny).
This was about 6 years ago though. It was an odd codec, something one of the fansubs I worked with was trying out. And I can't even remember the name of the codec pack.

One thing that needs to be understood is that .avi is simply a container.
Its a fairly confusing setup but a .avi file can be encoded in Divx, Xvid, h.264 etc. While divx and xvid are the most popular that i know of occasionally you will get an avi file encoded with a strange codec.
If you only had the divx codec it would play xvid upside down until you got the xvid codec.
