I 've just transferred a couple of avi files to the phone and realized they couldnt be played.

Does it have something to do with the codec or i have missed something else ?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

AVI is not a codec, but a container format which can contain almost any codec.

The Fascinate can parse the AVI container, but if the contained codecs are not supported, it cannot play them. I transferred AVI files with XviD and H.264/AVC video streams, and MP3 and AC-3 audio streams to the phone, and they all play nicely. I also tried MP4 container files with MPEG-4 video streams and AAC audio streams, and they play nicely as well.

Codecs I found not to be supported: MPEG-2 video streams, WMA and LPCM (uncompressed) audio streams.

Container format I found not to be supported: MPEG-2 program streams

MP3 audio is supported, so I'd say it's the video codec. What's the video codec of your AVI files?
