How to play AVI files

One of my web applications attempts to play some avi files. I don't know how to do that.
Could anybody please help me with the subject?

Luc,

To play a video on your web site, all you have to do is to change the MIME type of the response to x-msvideo, then fill the response buffer with the contents of the avi file. Depending on the user's browser settings, they can either save the file directly or play it in their video player. IE/Mediaplayer users can view the video in a sidebar without leaving the page.

To stream the video requires some third-party server-side software.
