Unless you have an .avi software/player on your computer, you won't be able to play it. Some DVD players will play DIVX files, but you have to get them onto a DVD or CD.There are numerous places on the web that you can get a free DIVX player. Once downloaded, you can watch .avi files. I believe WMV has .avi capability and maybe some DIVX capability, but I don't know if all types of the format are playable going this route.
You can probably find free converters for .avi to PAL or .avi to NTSC on the web. I converted about 8 Apple Quick Time files to the .avi format with a free converter on the web. I also have a not-free video editing program that records in .avi or MPEG1/2 and can make the final format PAL or NTSC specific (besides a number of other video formats).
I don't know if there was ever any region coding capability set for .avi (I doubt it), but there are ways around region coding if that's a problem.
You might want to Google ".avi to PAL" and "DIVX player" to see what you get. Numerous software items are free or are free on a trial basis.

Now I jsut need someone to upload parts 2 and 3!
which now that I have watched it on my Windows player (thanks) are about five seconds out of synch?
I have read about sync correcting software while searching for software that converts from one type of file to another. Unfortunately (though rather fortunate for me), since I never had the sync problems with the software that I used to convert my files, I never tried it out. I did read that some of the better converting software doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.You might try downloading the actual DivX player and see if it does a better job of decoding the files.
