Reading the documentation I can see that MCI AVI dll is not implemented except as stubs. Is there any way to play AVI files without installing Windows, say by installing Media Player?

This may be the mailing list for wine but if you just want to watch avi-Clips under Linux, you should try mplayer. http://thot.banki.hu/esp-team/MPlayer.html It works with all recent codecs, especially DivX.

I have an old application called Action Player (playact.exe) by macromedia. It makes use of AVI files. It's for a touch-sensitive shop display. I have a previous post titled "Couldn't load driver for avivideo" which explains further. Regards, Simon.
