I downloaded a movie that says it's a .Divx.AVI file. The file refuses to play. I have installed the latest Divx Codec and Nimo Codec Pack. In windows media player when I try to open the file, I get a message "Cannot playback file format not supported". When I check the properties of the file it says that the file is invalid or corrupted. When I try to play the file on Divx player 2.0, it says: "will not open, check if it is a valid AVI file". I did not know if the file was broken so I tried Divx Fix and it said the file was not an AVI. I tried G spot to find out what type of file it was and it said that the file was not a valid AVI file. Can anybody shed any light on this problem? Is this file junk???
Thanks,
TC![]()

When an Audio Video Interleave (.avi) file is compressed and converted to an .asf file, the file begins playing after only a few seconds. The file can be unlimited in length and can run over Internet bandwidths.
Hope That Helps!!!:P
