When I open channel A and click on the .avi file I want to watch in the RAM player nothing happens.  However, once I rename the file .mpeg it works.  This includes all .avi files not just the one I’m trying to work on at the moment.  Anybody know how I can play the .avi files in the RAM player since I don’t want to have to convert to .mpeg every time I view a video.  I’m using 3ds Max 10 on Vista 64.

PS.  This seems to be an extension of problems I’ve been having in general with previewing my animations.  Whenever I try to preview my Max animations as .avi files windows media player seems unable to recognize them.  I tried changing the default player for .avi files to quicktime and vlc however max doesn’t seem to recognize them.  If I navigate to my preview folder though and open them from there I can play them in any player except for Windows Media which seems unable to recognize .avi’s.
