    Can't open avi file

    Hello there.

    So, I have a problem with an avi file. It seems that the fíle is somewhat corrupt (might be due to incomplete download..). So is there a program/codec/anything that allows you to view incomplete avi files? I know divfix would do the trick, but the file is burned on cd already.

    I have divx and xvid codecs as well as some filters and such. Compability is not the problem here, I know that. I use windows mediaplayer, so don't recommend Playa to me or anything plz, I've tried multiple players. I just want to know if there's a prog that allows to view incomplete avi files.

    So help out here!

    also, I remember having a program that showed all codecs that an avi file has. What might that be and where can I get it?

    Thanks in advance.

    if you're certain of this, simply copy the file to your hard drive,repair it, and burn a new CD...

    You're probably referring to GSpot - click on the link to DivXDigest at the top of this page...

        Just for the heck of it, try the following (if the file is accepted as input):

        1) Load the video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

        2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

        3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box
