i have a .avi file that i want to watch but a screen pops up with the message:
You may experience problems playing a video track in"001.avi" because the required compressor could not be found. Would you like to close the movie or continue?

Do I have to download other software to make it work? If I do, where? Thanx....

Go to Macupdate and get Divx Doctor. Run it through that and it will save it as a Quicktime .mov movie.
Or play it in Mplayer or VLC.
