    Please Help me, trying to play an AVI file

    I've Downloaded an AVI file - a rather large one, but i cannot get it to play. I've looked through the boards and d/loaded various utilities etc, but so far no luck.

    With MS Media Player: Connecting to codec server, sending request for codec, error downloading codec.... Then I get SOUND ONLY.

    With the Playa (with DIVX5 codecs): Error - The location you selected could not be opened.

    With Power DVD: No Error messages but again just SOUND ONLY.

    At 716mb it's taken quite a while to d/load, I'm pretty disapointed, Has anyone got any advice please?????



    ps. also tried several other div players/dvd player. I believe someone once said it's in DVL format, but cannot get any players that accept it???


    edit: also tried loads of different codec's, some of you may have this file already but for legal reasons i cannot say what it is, maybe it's some kind of duplicate or clone.

    Try opening the file in Virtualdub and checking its file information...
