AVI Conversion?

[David Thrasher]

One possibility: It could be a DivX encoded file. There is a version of DivX available for the Mac and the one I downloaded has a little program to fix the audio on some files. I forgot what version number it is (at work, DivX at home) but I'm sure if you did a search on Google with the words "divx" and "macintosh", something would turn up. Or...It could be some other codec.

I've got this AVI that QuickTime will not open. It gives that standard 
AVI message that it has a "compressor that quicktime does not 
understand". Does anyone know of a program that will convert it? I 
tried cleaner but it came out blank. I'm also trying to show up the PC 
user that created it who told me that the reason I can't open the file 
is that "Macs suck".
