WMP 2003 should play avi files all by itself. Uncompressed ones anyway.

Actually, Cari, it won't.

WMP for PPC only plays Windows Media video files.

Pocket MVP:

will play DivX encoded .AVI's and MPEG-1 streams.

There's little or no support for other flavors of .AVI on
the PPC. You will likely need to re-transcode your existing
.AVI's to something this player can play, rather than waste
tons of time trying to find a player that will work with other types.
