Broken AVI files!!! Is there a solution???, All I get is AUD

[proganimal]

Somebody please help me out here. I downloaded a bunch of movies in AVI format and now, whenever I run them, all I get is Audio, I know there is Video too with them. A friend of mine said you have to have the complete file. Well I do in some cases. How can I solve this problem?
I have tried using TmpgEnc to convert it to the MPG file, but the program gives me an error 'File "Filepath" can not open, or unsupported.'

Have you installed the divx codec? And you can also try the new divx codec and play with the playa player(support broken divxs also) http://www.divx.com

i just downlaoded a couple movies with the same problem.. i thought they should work, 1 movie was in 2 parts, where the first worked like a champ, however the second was audio only.. i checked the resolution and noticed the second half was in pal format, should that make a difference?

Yeah, I downloaded the codec this morning and tried playing the AVI files again. It still didn't work.
