What do you use to play the video? What codec is used in the problem video? You have to be much more specific!

Due to lack of information on what video format you are asking about, I would suggest you use a program like Gspot or AVIcodec to identify the codec you need and download just that one and install it.

For Divx, Xvid and the like ffdshow works well for many of us. And that sounds like a Xvid type of problem from using a wrong or corrupted codec.

BTW, don't be tempted by a codec pack, as you will have much more problems than solutions.

That appears to be a DVD screener and would be warez and in violation of the AUP.

Buy the DVD. And read the AUP.
