    I bought one of these and it doesn't seem to play some AVI files. Does anyone have any ideas?

    ^ You'll need to determine which codec the AVI file uses as it may not be supported, but you may be able to re-encode the files to a supported format or you might seek a firmware update for the player in case that supports more codecs, or it might be an encoding error that even re-encoding to same codec fixes.

    Clicking on the file properties in a media player app on a PC will often show this info, or there are various utilities that will give this info like GSpot, or many video editor apps. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

    However the latest version of GSpot is now 5 years old, if it's using a more modern codec you may need to hunt down more modern software to ID it.
