i'm trying to get an .avi file to play on my friends laptop, keeps saying an error was encountered, what does she need to play .avi files?

What was the fix?
Buy a Mac with OS X and use VLC?

VLC is available for windoze too. It doesn't phone home every now and then either.

I have a LAN-only website on my college campus where I host lots of video files and I specifically tell people to download VLC first so that they don't email me asking how to play the files, a lot of which are .avi encoded with Xvid and the like.
