[QUOTE="2910grimster, post: 473939, member: 84655"] Right at long last I took one of my files to my mates house and the avi played fine on his. I can play my avi files fine in km player and through power dvd 8. I did try using power dvd as my external player but it trys to start it on my monitor rather than playing it on my plasma. I have set MP to open on the plasma by default. I did try using power dvd's codecs in the video set up but that did not work either. Also they play fine as vob and mpeg through these 2 applications. It looks like its my set up trying to play AVI files through media portal thats the problem. I have set up FFshow and mp as per the guides that are availible.
