    Hello,

    VLC media player will not play large AVI files and it will give you that message you received (and many other players won't play that large a file either). So, do you want to split the file into pieces or convert it to a different format?

    If you want to split it, download AVISplit here:
    AviSplit download and review - split, clip and join AVI files from SnapFiles

    If you want to convert it, download Internet Video Converter here:
    Internet Video Converter 1.52 Freeware download page - tested and reviewed software downloads from SnapFiles

    Or download SUPER converter here:
    SUPER 2008 build 24 Freeware download page - tested and reviewed software downloads from SnapFiles
    Note: SUPER converter also has a built-in player that just might play that AVI file
