go here http:///www.videolan.org/vlc

download the VLC Player

Use that to view the movie - it should work.

You should also use VLC to play ALL of your movie files, since it pretty much plays everything.

Why? (Not arguing, just curious.)

[PatCooper]

And i hope you realize you cant burn some movie files without converting the formats.

[Kid Afrika]

I was gonna tell him he's in for a chore if he can't even watch a movie... converting divx to mpeg1 isn't that hard, but c'mon he couldn't even play the damn thing.

[Goatweed]

Why? (Not arguing, just curious.)

because it's a simple yet eefective media player - and like I said, it plays pretty much anything I throw at it.

It also plays .iso files - no need to burn it to a CD, which comes in very handy.

[Kid Afrika]

I can appreciate that, but I prefer a bit more control over my movies.

Also, check out ISO Buster so you can stop burning VCDs.

It pauses, fast forwards, rewinds, gives me screen shots, etc. - I'm not sure how much more power you need over your movies, but to each his own.

I use Isobuster, bot sometimes it works, other times I get errors - I've uninstalled/reinstalled it and used different versions, but its always touch and go.
