XviD is the video codec, Saphire is the release group and AVI is the container. All you should need to play it is XviD (or equiv). You could also use a standalone player such as mplayer, VLC, etc.

If GSpot doesn't recognise it as an AVI, then it isn't.

It is either
a) incomplete (missing header)
b) corrupt (corrupt header)
c) fake
d) wrong file extension, well plus the rest of the filename would be wrong to.

Scene releases don't allow DivX. So I would be going with c. Probably there is no DVDRip's out or at least not one from Saphire. Have you checked?

cannot get file to play

used Nero and turned it into an image file.
no problem.

if you are interested i will send you the original file .
just tell me how to do that(enclose an attatchment)

I really would like to know about this file.
1)could you recommend a tutorial on hash checking
2)how can you tell that a torrent is good
do you go by the heath?
any other meams of checking before you download that this is a full file.


thks again in advance
