    Generally it means:

    1) You don't have the codec installed
    or
    2) It's corrupt/incomplete
    To Be, Or, Not To Be, That, Is The Gazorgan Plan

    You might want to try something called the AVI FourCC Code Changer on that file.

    It seems that sometimes the FourCC code DX50 confuses apps - even although you do have DivX5 installed. You may want to change the code to simply DIVX and see if that works.

    For a list of FourCC codes, have a look at http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php

    cheers,
