Look for a program called VLC. search for it on google or get it here at Versiontracker

Hope this helps.

Hmm, my Quicktime (version 6) doesn't play .avi. Neither does Windows Media Player 7, and I got DivX 5.1.1. I'm running OS 9.2, and there are no updates I can get for any of these that allow me to play avi. Oh and I got Real Player (I don't know why it blows) and I STILL can't play avi. Anyone know why please help.

Cheers.

I looked also, it looks like it is only available for Mac OS X.
