avi problem

have 2 copies of the same tv programme, one is an mpeg and the other an avi

the mpeg is fine
however as soon as i try and do anything with the avi i get a "windows explorer has encountered a problem" error window
the files are associated with mediaplayer 10 by the way

someone recommended this

"Your Windows operating system can run slowly when attempting to access a folder that contains a large number of Audio Video Interleave (AVI) media files. To speed up this process, you must stop Windows from extracting file information when accessing AVI files. To do so, you must tweak Windows registry settings:

Run regedit.exe (run it from the Run dialog box). Find this key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}].

To speed up avi files, disable the above registry key by changing into: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{-87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}]. Close Regedit and then restart windows."

but it ain't worked

can anyone help

cheers

 

Have you tried using a different media player?

If you need to make edits on the avi file Virtualdub.org offers a good proagram. It's free.
