Best and Free AVI Video Player to Play AVI Files on Windows Smoothly and Easily

"I used to be able to play avi files on my Windows Media Player, but now I can’t. It says it doesn’t support those files or it doesn’t have the codecs for them. What do I need to do?"

AVI files are usually compressed with a non-Microsoft codec; the appropriate codec must be on your computer for the Windows Media Player to play the AVI file. In such case, you may need to install the corresponding codec decoders like K-Lite Codec Pack, which could help you solve the problem easily. Actually, for most users, installing codec decoder is somewhat troublesome. An alternative to Windows Media Player would actually be better, especially a free AVI player that could play both video and DVD on Windows 8 as Windows 8 has no support to play back DVD movies. Leawo Free AVI Player is just such kind of program that could help you easily solve all problems during AVI movie playback.
