    Cannot play AVI video on HDD but can play the same video on SSD


    As title. After I copy the video from HDD to SSD it plays fluently. However, I don't want to store the video on SSD due to limited storage on SSD whereas enough storage on HDD. Is there any workaround? Thanks!

    :)

    Avi videos not playing in movie maker

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Does it show any error?

    Have you installed the Codecs?

    Though Windows Movie maker support AVI format, sometime we still encounter AVI won't play in Windows . If the AVI files are not corrupt, the main reason may be the AVI video codec problem. If the AVI file was encoded with a non-Microsoft codec or with a
    codec not installed on your Windows, you will fail to play this kind of AVI video.

    I would suggest you to follow these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Run Hardware Troubleshooter

    Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

    a. Press the ‘Windows + W’ key on the keyboard.

    b. Type troubleshooter in the search box and then press enter.

    c. Click hardware and sound and run the
    hardware and device troubleshooter.

    I also recommend you to install the latest version of Movie Maker and check the issue.

    Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    how to play .avi or other type of videos in lumia920

    .avi files are supported in the native media player, along with many other codecs (see this article for a complete list of supported codecs).
