I have an issue with playing .avi files. I can view them on my pc monitor but not on my tv. I can however view mpeg's, vob's, etc.. on my tv with no problems. I used to be able to view .avi files on my tv up until I formatted my pc a couple of months ago. I'm not sure what I originally had on my pc that would have made the difference. Would it be a codec's issue or the graphic's driver? I've tried several diffrent codec's and various video card drivers with no luck so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.
