View a Partial Divx File?

[What]

Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to watch a partially downloaded divx file? I had one a while ago, but forgot to put it on a proggie CD before I formatted (dumbass ). Anyway, if anyone know of one (where to find it, where to look, etc) I'd greatly appreciate the help.

What?

Danke.

Now just a matter of figuring out why the fudge this stupid divx file won't play .... *kicks divx*

I do it all the time while DLing from kazaa. Copy the .dat file to another folder, then open it in Vitual Dub and press F5 it will play it for you, now if you want the file outside of Vdub, select direct stream copy and save avi. It will just take a while to forward through the video.

Well, I d/l'ed this file from an FTP, so it's already AVI.

After I ran divfix, I tried playing the file in WMP. WMP downloaded and installed WM's MPEG4 codec, but said it couldn't decompress the video. I then installed Divx 5 (thinking maybe it had been encoded w/D5) but still got the same end result. I tried opening the file in VDub, and got this:

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'MP43 (Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 V3)"

TMPGEnc wouldn't open it, Divx's "Playa" wouldn't open it, nothing will. So I've got a 200MB unplayable media file sitting on my hard drive ... dangit

If mediaplayer downloaded it, it is MS version of it. You need the non MS "hacked version" Look for a codec pack most all have that codec installed. Open it in virtual dub, its index file may need to be rebuilt. Just look for the MPEG-4V3 codec. MS's will not work.
