You downloaded this, right? And maybe it's corrupt or incomplete?

Anyway, you didn't tell us which player(s) you're tried. If it can be played at all, I'd try MediaPlayerClassic-Home Cinema first, followed by the VLC Player.

[jimbb]

yes its a downloaded complete file.
I tried:

MediaPlayerClassic-Home Cinema
VLCGOM
KM Player
Windows Media Player

It's just an ordinary XviD AVI. If there wasn't anything wrong with it, it would play. 9.66GB? Cut a small sample for upload somewhere.

If it doesn't work in VLC it is either a corrupt or particular file.

[neomaine]

yes its a downloaded complete file.
...

Probably a purposefully corrupt studio version to piss off illegal movie downloaders. There's 9.66GB of your life wasted.

[jimbb]

most likely corrupt i guess; and no its not an illegal movie its a freeware japanese video.

Try VirtualDub. Not that it will manage to open/play that very-weird Xvid-AVI,
but the error message (if any) might be helpful
