after downloading an old movie i cant get it to play back on my pc. With quicktime i get audio only and with windows media player i get video only. How can i sort this out so that i can burn to dvd or will the burn process fix the problems?
it wont let me open the file with AviCodec. All my other movie files are fine but this one doesnt even appear in my folders when i search with AviCodec.
If you are shy to tell us, tpcdan, we cannot be much help...
Get the freeware Quicktime Alternative (and Real Alternative too) and you will be able to play all these file types in WMP.

Well it seems registered to Quicktime in your system then...
BTW from your Windows Explorer you can go
Tools> Folder Options> View> and untick 'Hide extensions for known file types' if you really want the full filename.
With QT Alternative, Real Alternative, and WMP with an Internet connection, you should be able to play that file.
As a final solution install FFDShow - then you can play ANYTHING, LoL :-)
If your d/l won't play then, who knows WTF is in it, anyway?
???????.mov is the extension when i unclicked the hidden info...thanks for the advice but still cant play it. I've tried using Radvideo but no sound files are there. Still on quicktime it displays audio only. I think the audio files are protected and the only way to do it is to use total recorder then mix the audio into the video with TMPGEncoder. If you know a better way or if you can quick fix the problem i would be very appreciative. Thanks.
