Problem play MPEG File with Real One Player

[discusman]

I've tried to play this MEPG File with Real One Player.
I get this error:

"Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported."

I've also tried to get the video file information using VirtualDub, the software tells me
"VirtualDub can't detect type of C:\foldername\Movie.mpg"

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Have you tried playing the file with Windows Media Player?

Yes, I get the same error message from Windows Media Player.
"Can't play back the file, the format is not supported"

Any clues? Is it possible the file itself is bad? corrupted? But I didn't see any error message while extracting the file.

I used WinRar to extract the files, then it gives me a .bin file, so I use ISOBuster to extract it.

Load the file into "GSpot" (a free utility) and see what codec(s) were involved in the creation of the file. Also, was this a file that you downloaded?

After I loaded it into "GSpot" and it says " Not a Valid AVI File".
I see "n.a." in both video codec and audio codec.

Yes, I downloaded it from the internet.

I'm a bit confused now. In your initial post, you claimed the file was an mpeg file, but you stated in your last post that GSpot indicated that it was "Not a Valid AVI File". It sounds as if the file is a "Fake" or "Corrupt" file. This can be common with downloaded files.
