Default Unable to view movies

Hi
I have tried a number of sites to view downloaded movies but no matter which one I try I get error messages.
I have got all the latest codecs supposedly.
Have tried Divx, Media player classic, another one started with Vci something or other, but everyone gives error messages.
Funny that I can watch one movie - Mr Bean but the rest are not availiable!
Any ideas?
Thanks guys

You're probably seeing fake files.

If you're searching for music files, use the All Types search & search for artist or album rather than song title. Go for a file with 10 sources or less...stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources.
If you're searching for video files, Always check the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi.
