Re: Playing AVI files

I've noticed that in SUSE 9.1 Professional, most of the AVI files I have
won't play, but in 8.2 Professinoal they work without a problem. I
custom install all of mt distros, and I made sure I have the same movie
players installed, but on 9.1 they don't work, and 8.2 they do, so it's
a trade off.  Heh, 9.1 allows me to play 3D games, but 8.2 won't find my
video card the same, and even after installing the Nvidia driver on my
laptop it won't work in 8.2 but it WILL in 9.1. LOL, trade off, games or
movies.
