Microsoft Surface RT is a great device for you to enjoy movies, TV shows or podcast anytime as long as you want. However, things seemed not easy when you try to play DivX/Xvid AVI videos on Microsoft Surface RT. The reason you cannot successfully get some AVI files playable on your Surface RT is quite simple: the default and downloaded player on the Microsoft Surface Tablet cannot find a suitable decoder for the codec in the DivX/Xvid AVI file.
