What might be the problem?

I downloaded an avi file, and so far all avi files are playable on my panasonic divx compatible dvd player. But this one it says CODEC NOT SUPPORTED (QPEL). Why is this? Is there anything I can do to make it playable like the rest? Thanx.

 

I meant PHILIPS DVD PLAYER.

 

That would be because your player uses an ESS chipset that can't handle decoding qpel. You would need to re-encode to something that it does support decoding or buy a player with a different chipset (MTK, newer Sigma, etc.).
