It says it's 'XviD'.
If WMP won't play it, maybe the codec isn't installed on the PC.
Down-load 'VLC' (has self contained codecs) and try playing it with that.

Well I appreciate that and I do have a codec pack and a number of media players, but its obvious to me now that this is just one bad old torrent file- I reckon its currupt. Thanks again for yr response

Possible it has time expired DRM?

If it's broken/corrupt vlc will usually try to fix it. think you should try some of the free video remastering tools that are knocking about before giving up on it..

having a codec pack installed doesnt mean much at all!

as mentioned try VLC its free, it will let you know if its playable and if your "codecs pack" isnt working...
