I followed your advice, but if try to open the avi file with Windows
Media Player  a window pops up

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file may be formatted
with an unsupported codec, or the Internet security setting on your
computer is set too high. Lower your browser's security setting, and
then try again.

Any idea ?
