What's the file called?..

eg... whatever.AVI?...whatever.???

I had this a few times trying to convert DivX NTSC to PAL, maybe you are on the wrong video standard/framerate??//(or whoever uploaded the film forgot to put the video in!!..seen that as well...duh...)

it is a .AVI file...the file has a winamp logo on it...when i open file it opens winamp and plays the movie audio...tried to convert with Nero but error comes up...could be they didnt put the video on it! i have 2 folders, one is cd1 and other is cd2...has about 50 rar files in each folder.

??? stumped..you have opened up all the linked archive I assume (takes ages) If so try another player..nero showtime seems good? ...thinking about it..Why is it opening winamp?..should be opening media player.. (now I'm assuming you use some flavour of XP)...right click on file..open with..browse/choose from list..media player..check "always use to open this type of file"..Oh and then it may say "error..you need a suitable dvd player installed"..pover dvd is great (I always use media player but p-dvd is installed just for the codecs/functionality) or try a converter program that allows previews, something like DivX2DVD..

I had this a few times trying to convert films..never found a cure for faulty conversion but I think we got this one... :)

Ahh I sort of expected that...you need to download something called...

K-Lite mega codec pack...it's in lots of places..try google..and when you get it it's an exe (nearly said xbe then..heh heh )..just run it and it will install all you need automatically...I'll find a link to a download..back soon...

here you go..just click this

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Mega_Codec_Pack.htm

Then run them...solved I hope..
