How 2 see AVIs without download'em completely ?

[Roberto Rolon]

I wan't to know how I can watch an AVI movie without download it completely.
I know it can be done because a friend of mine has done it by installing a software which enables a "preview" function in the file properties window.
Could anybody tell me where I can find this software.
Thanks a lot !

One way is to "repair" the avi with VirtualDUB. Than you can watch the video with every avi-player.

incomplete avis need to be re-indexed.

you might use a tool like divfix for that.

take care, however, to backup the originalfile and use divfix with your copy, or otherwise you wont be able to continue the donwload afterwards!
