Incomplete Header. Information stripped?

[Wizzy]

After downloading video(s), some do not have proper codec header inplace?

after the "vids" declaration, there is only blank zeros in the file (text headers):



RIFF۠...AVI LIST

<snip>

strlstrh8...vids
................

<rest of header continues here>


(usually shows something similar as found in the next example)

strlstrh8...vids
MP43............


Any way to repair or determine what/if any decoder information that has been stripped?

Thankee =), hope i explained everything okies

(btw, the resulting video "plays" w/o video or sound)
