Their prob .avi files and media player wont play .avi files unless you install a decoder (I believe)

No its not the porn videos those all play fine ;) Thanks for your help though. Someone told me I might need a DiVX player?! so maybe I will give those a shot..

As cbaker17 menched, I also think that you are in need of a decoder. Do a search for an AVI decoder and you should be in luck.
