playing incomplete divx files

[boss]

Does anyone know how to play incomplete divx files downloaded with grokster?
When i try grokster's own player it says "player error".
I want to see what i'm getting before i download the whole file!

yea grab DivFix

I use it to figure out if I want to finish downloading a DivX

it will re-index the file so you can watch it -- you can download it from the tools section here I think

You can use the DivFix,

OR

Just rename the file extension to .avi and open the file in VIrtualDub.ebuild the index for you so you can preview it all

Spidey you are right - but if you want to look quickly through a movie to see if the quality is good enough to keep downloading then DivFix is the way to go --- the VirtualDub way does not allow you too 'drag' and 'seek' very easily, unless you 'direct stream copy' save the file first.

But both ways work... so it depends on what your used to doing.
