I'm trying to play back two similar avi files on MPC, similar in size and everything. One of them works just fine, I can play the whole file. When I try to play the second file, it says "cannot render the file". What does this mean and how can I fix it? It is an avi file.
MPC should have given you some info when it failed to render; fourCC, audio tag, etc. (if it really is an avi).
