Unsupported filetype video?

[Snipes]

I went to the sticky on Codecs, and it said I should use GSpot to figure out what codec I need to play a file. I opened up Naruto 151, and under stat, it said that it was "Not a valid AVI File". I clicked on that, and it said "This is, or appears to be, an unsupported filetype. GSpot provides full support for AVI and OGG media streams. Based on its composition, GSpot believes the filetype to be "Non-AVI File - Type Unknown.".

I tried downloading the CCCP, but that still didn't make it work. The player I usually use is Windows Media Player, but that didn't work, so I tried QuickTime and DivX (now uninstalled), but those didn't work either. I have no idea what to do.

Is it possible that you downloaded the torrent, and didn't point your torrent client at it?

What's the full file name, including extension (right-click on the file, hit properties). While you're there, what's the filesize?

We're going to need more information to help you, I think. Let's start with that ... full filename, filesize, we'll go from there.

If the file got corrupted suitably during download or on your HD, it could render it unreadable. If the header got corrupted, it could be totally unrecognizable as well.

Full filename is [AonE]_Naruto_151_[E57B748F]

Doesn't say extension, but the file type is Video Clip.

File size is 1024 KB or 1.00 MB

And I have no clue what a header is.

if its only 1 mb, then its definately not a complete file. aer you sure you didn't close ur torrent soon after it started? redownload the file and let it reach 100% before you play it

I would assume that what you have in your hands is a torrent...

Go to folder options and make it show the extension of your files.
