Playback problem.

tapfive · 3 Dec 2001, 02:42 PM

I downloaded a movie that was rather hard to find "SLC Punk!"
and when I went to open it in my windows Media player it said "the file format is invalid"...

so I open up the program "The Playa" that came with my DivX pack - and it played the first minute or two of the movie and then it was over...

But I know by the file size that the movie is at least an hour long...

does anyone know what I might do to fix all this?

make a copy of the file, run divfix in one of the copy, see if there are any error in it.
