Hey guys, i have downloaded a cpl of files over the past month or so, they are Mpeg files and both are blank, they are both around 700meg but once they play there is nothing but a blank black soundless file. do I need to convert the files or maybe a different codec. any help will be great thanks in advance

You might need codecs for your player. There are links in the thread below & also a link to the free VLC player, which has codecs installed & plays most things (in case you'd like to try it)

Thanks for the tip but it doesnt seem to be either codec or player the file just seems to be blank but its a big blank file if thats the case. I have not seen a 700meg black mpeg before and to have two of them turn up seems weird.

Did you try playing the file with VLC?
Also, did you preview the file while it was downloading?

Always use Bitzi to check movie files before download...if other users have rated the file, you'll get an idea of it's content & quality
