Program to watch camera video?

#1 Post by BikerGran » Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:58 pm

I took a video on my camera of some street entertainers - and now I find I haven't got a program to view it, I must have lost it last time my computer crashed - can someone point me in the right direction to download one?

It's an avi file.

Watch for spyware!


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Use a trusted site like cnet.

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

another vote for VLC

or my favourite is http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/

though maybe that's cos I'm of the Linux persuasion (though there is a windows version)

Back to the camera manual methinks!
