Videos won't play? Only audio does...

So on my HTC Touch Pro I used to use a program called mediacoder that would transform my avi file videos so that i can play them on my phone. Now I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and tried to do the same thing, but the video won't play. If I play the video I can hear them talking, but there's no visual. It just says "loading" and gives me that circle icon that shows it's loading, but it never does. Help! Also I dont know much, so please nothing too complicated

My guess would either be video bit rate , or video resolution ..

What are the settings for the avi file ?

The avi format is so complicated and unstable to use (Sometimes it works but others no). I would recommend converting the files to WMV format before transferring them to the tp2. The windows live movie maker is great for this, just select windows phone small or large in the settings and u are good to go.
