Sometimes, due to the update of the media player, some required AVI codec may be missing which result in the failure of playing AVI files correctly. Or, some media players don\u2019t contain the AVI codec at all so that they are not compatible with AVI files. <\/p>\n
Reason 2. The AVI files have been damaged.<\/strong> Another main reason should lie in that the AVI files have been corrupted or damaged while transferring from one device to another. Or, the AVI files have been invaded by some virus over the Internet and some audio or video information have been lost.<\/p>\n
