Avis refuse to play in Windows Media Player 9 and Bsplayer!

Hi, I have to ask some of the experts in this group how to get avis to
play in WMP9 or Bsplayer. All over the Net the avis I download will not
play correctly in either video player. First, one quick question..why
is everyone making avi files if they don't want to perform in basic
video players? Now, I have all the codecs and fffdshow for my Windows
98SE machine, so please don't go there.

What can I do to get avi files to play correctly and in sync using
WMP9? I have been counseled by other computer wizards and we can't seem
to find the elusive answer. Something is blocking my playing of these
videos, only avis though, so that narrows it down. Is there some player
that willl correctly handle these files? By the way, VLC didn't at all,
and Bsplayer used to, now no video. Anyway, I would really appreciate
your assistance in viewing avi files either via WMP9, or another
recommended video player, gratefully, psongman
