AVI file won't play video?

Jul 29, 2010 11:55AM PDT

I am trying to play an AVI file, and no matter what player I use it only plays the audio and no video. I have tried media player, media player classic, divx and quicktime with the same result. As far as I know all my players and codecs are up to date, but maybe not. Is there any way I can play the file?
