Press "Prnt Scrn" key on your keyboard then put it in Paint or any other program then save as a JPEG and upload to http://imageshack.us

than take the last code (direct link to image) and post it here.

AVI codec says that file is not supported even tho it has AVI at the end of the file name and G spot has run it thru and says
File Type: Unknown
Mime Type: Unknown

I feel so stupid for not knowing, sorry

So it is obviously not an .AVI...no need to feel stupid, everyone has to learn something from someone else sometimes.

try renaming it to YourFileNameHere.mpg

so sorry to mess ur head up,
i did get them as a torrent but they were all together in the one file, they will play in winamp and DivX, but not in media player and i get the error message when i try to convert with WINAVI, which is what i use for all video files, i had this problem with the dukes of hazzard but just deleted it, but because it is so big i dont wanna download it again,
many thanks for your help anyway

hi

if you have k-lite mega pack installed it has AVI repair tools

also use divfix on check errors then strip then rebuild index

see how it goes....

Nothing here to see, move along folks.
