    I had a problem like that before, all I did is just download the latest version of Windows Media Player and install it and everything is fine.

    Videos played on a PC are usualy compressed. Unfortunetly there is no true standard, you could have 30 AVI files and theyd all be compressed in a different way. The solution is to use a good codec pack, which installs all the most popular decompressors onto your computer, so windows will 'know' how to play the file.

    The problem with your situation is that the file is streaming, which makes it difficult to know what its been compressed using
