No longer developed

AVI Preview is no longer updated by its developer - the last version here is from 2004. It may still run, but it gets no fixes for newer Windows versions or formats.

Maintained alternatives that may do the same job:

Extremely compact and easy to use AVI Preview offers an advantage that other well-known media players have not considered.

This application can preview files in the most common formats (Video CD, AVI, DivX, MPEG and MPG) without pausing the downloading process or making any changes to the original vdeo.

Even if it is so small, AVI Preview doesn’t need any additional software to function.

The DirectX framework is enough. Moreover, AVI Preview has been tested with P2P and FTP software.

Another advantage of AVI Preview is that you don’t have to install it to your computer; just extract the archive and you can use this application.

The files can be stored on your local disc or on any portable device and run when necessary. This way you will not modify the Windows registry.

On the other hand, don’t expect AVI Preview to have a very stylish or complex interface. Its options are basic and you are recommended to use it only if your want to open incomplete files.

Using this kind of tool is a good idea when you are downloading a large video and you want to view a part of it. This way, you won’t have to wait for hours until testing the quality of the video. Make sure you have the codecs you need installed to your computer and AVI Preview will do the rest of the job.

4/5Good
I liked it alot but I had one problem with it. I don't know if it was my fault or not but after awhile I couldn't skip through it because it would show the very beginning but the sound would be right. Don't know if that makes any sense. ~.~ Anyway, I liked it.
