    Unable to open AVI file

    For some reason, some of AVI files I borrowed from a friend copied directly from a CD to hard drive cannot be opened. If I try to open it, it will say format unrecognized and I can't view any AVI data in the Summary pane of Properties. Opening it in Nandub doesn't do anything, either. Is there a program to fix this? Maybe DivFix, or would that do something else?

    Thank you.

    does it play directly from the cd?
    can you play it in WMP 6.4?

      Well, I don't have the CD anymore. I tried scanning it with GSpot but it shows up as an invalid AVI file. So is this broken, or ruined?
