Playing movie downloads?

[remaxdan]

Ok I know I'm a newbie but this is driving me crazy. I down loaded a movie file it seemed to download fine but I can't do anything with it. I've tried to open it in lime wire (nothing) I've tried to open with my computer through the file and nothing recognizes the file. Anyone have an answer?

YOu could also try this: VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose the nearest mirror site) It has inbuilt codecs & plays everything except the odd wmv file. It also plays some audio formats. Not the prettiest of players or the most stable but it works & is effective.

Otherwise make sure you have needed codecs: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html
