AVI Playback Problem

[asriel]

hi,

i have a film which has been transfered to my hard drive as an avi file. When i try to play it back with windows media player i get sound and no picture, when i try with powerdvd it does not recognise it.

Is there a dedicated avi player that i can use to play the film, or can anyone shed some light as to what i may have done wrong.

thanks
