Download the tool Gspot and use it to examine the
codecs in use. If it's difficult to interpret, post a screen
shot here.

It sounds as if you need to download the xvid encoder.

You downloaded a bad copy of the movie unfortunately.
This kind, where you have to install a third party decoder,
should be avoided at all cost. Usually spyware.
