If you are having problems playing .avi films on Microsoft windows Media player, what you should do is download the divx.com software. Make sure when you are using that you can leave it on your screen like a bumper sticker while you are running an .avi video or just save on it your desktop and load it into the divx folder.

If the software program mentioned above doesn't work then you can try converting your avi files to a different format with imtoo.com. You can try converting them to dvd format, or mpg but what I think works best is asf. You can also convert music files also.

I don't know the whole truth to this or not but I take that google.com might be doing a adding a video search to its search engine but I stumble across this site where you can add your video files to google at softpedia.net IF youa are having problems donwloading the software I suggerst that you should use mirror 2 if the first one is not working. You can also try video.search.yahoo.com

The recent court ruling in the Grokster case was decided in favor against p2p companies and in favor of the RIAA and MPAA. This has had a tremendous affect on file sharing. You can try to go to filedonkey.com. If you are more into just images then try imagecash.net
