For playing uncompressed AVI Files in Windows Media Player 12/11, here I would suggest you to use a third-party App to compress your uncompressed AVI files to .WMV format which is the most suitable format for Windows Media Player.
In this part, I’m going to introduce an AVI Compressor for you - Pavtube Video Converter. This App can not only compress the uncompressed AVI files to WMV format for WMP, but also is able to convert .AVI files to Windows Movie Maker. In addition to this, the App has a built-in video editor which lets you do lots of editing work, like trimming, cropping, cutting, etc.
