Hello,

I have an oversized AVI video, and I have tried all the video players I have on my PC, but none of them work!
Please, if you could recommend a video player for this type of file that can be downloaded for free, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

Hello,

what's the size of the video? If it's a movie, it shouldn't be too large, between 650 and 800 MB is the most common.

Hello.

"A video that is too large"
!
?
You could have let us know its size.

"I've tried all the video players I have on my PC and it doesn't work"
!
?
You could have told us which ones.

Here is a reliable and free player:

Hello

thank you for your responses. Actually, it's a video created by the software Pointools, a 3D animation based on a point cloud taken by a scanner of a historical site. The video is 4GB in size. I tried to play this video using the players below

VLC media player
Media player codec pack
Real player
divX player
Windows player
AVS media player
I even tried to convert the AVI extension to MOV and MP4 with the converter
Format Factory
and none of that worked, so please, if you can recommend a video player that can play this video, I would be very grateful
thank you

4 GB for a video is not surprising.
With a DV codec, we are at about 12 MB/s, or 12 GB for a one-hour video.

I looked at the output format of "pointools" videos.
For encapsulation, it is indeed AVI.
For the codec, the application offers a choice between several codecs, but I don't know which ones.

VLC uses a nice collection of codecs, but it may not have the one that was used to create your video.
You can use this to know the characteristics of a video:

Another hypothesis is that your file may simply be corrupted.

Thank you for your responses, by the way the file is not damaged!
I tried to export a clip from the video and it worked, so the only problem remaining is that the video is very large, and I no longer know how to play it in its entirety. Actually, it’s a final project and I’m really pressed for time. Regarding the codec, I exported the video with the FULL FRAMES codec, in case you took a look at the different codecs that the Pointools software allows.

I would be very grateful if you could help me solve this problem.

Hello
can you give us the details of your video via media info as Antipolis mentioned
you can try splitting your file into 2 parts, encoding each part with the same encoding characteristics and muxing everything together.
best regards
