# Doesn't work for me.
I'm using linux. I know that linux can cope with divx, but I've always struggled to get AVIs to work reliably even under windows! I've tried to get linux to play them but had to give up.

Oddly, I normally can't stand realplayer, but it seems to behave itself fine on SuSe linux. Or it does for me anyway!

# realplayer is a smaller file
and a better quality. But I hate it too.
I'll always remember it from it's dirty sub-phone call begininnings in the mid-90's. First impressions last.

# very true
I only installed realplayer again because the BBC seem so keen on it, and was surprised to find out that it just gets on with it and doesn't seem to suck. But I think I'll always be biased against AVI formats!
