Renaming the .avi files to .mp4 solved most of the issues with playing the .avi files. The rest I converted to .mp4.

Thanks much!

I had the same issue a while back, the avi playback is a little stupid, so i tried a buch of stuff to get ti to work, a simple file rename did the job 99% of the time, like you all others I reencoded or repackaged.

I am happy you got this working, but this is not a solution.
