Whenever I download wmv files, they're all 106kbytes and every one that I have downloaded doesn't show the movie, only an ad thingie saying:

What in heaven's name is going on here? I tried it with windows media player, real player and quicktime, but to no avail-still the same stupid message!

By the way, I was trying to find movie clips of certain songs from Les Mis:
ABC Cafe-Red and Black
Do you hear the people sing?
Castle on a Cloud
At the barricade

But all were 106 to 107kbs and possessed the same message. Please help!

Another one I'm having trouble with is mp4 movie files, which mascarades as a movie clip, but ends up being just a sound clip! I tried with windows media player, quicktime, and real player, but to no avail either.

I found your post in the incorrect section of the forums. No wonder it didn't get answered. I've moved it. No audio files are less than 1 MB so think carefully when you see files of size KB.
See these: 1. autogenerated spam results, & 2. autogenerated mp3 spam results, & 3. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

mp4 can be either audio or video format. The usual extension is m4a but some people use the mp4 extension.

For video tips see 1. Movie download issues, & 2. Learn to use Bitzi for video files to see if there's any user feedback: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ...
