If it's not an avi file then what is it? Is the extension avi or tmp? http://filext.com/detaillist.php?ext...&Search=Search I can't find other references to it as not being an extension. Try other video-codec identifier utilities & see what they say; CODECs list and alternate players for Movies. But if VLC can't play it then I don't hold much luck for it. VLC is usually a good litmus test as to whether a video file is good or not.
