Fake File?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: timanfiya
I've just finished downloading an xmr movie file that is ( divx.flix-ts.mpg ).
I couldn't use avi preview whilst downloading as it said i probably didn't have the right codec - even though I had already downloaded the klite codec pack.
Now its finished I still can't play on anything as nothing recognises the format?
I've read through the forum and tried ffdshow and VideoLan neither work -
Is this a fake file??? Is there anything else I can try??
I've tried to put it through Gspot but it just comes up n.a.

yep its a fake file this is what the film companies do to waste your time or normal people who are simply just assholes

Cheer mate - what an arse though - it took me ages to download that file and there were loads of users so I thought it was real and that I just needed the right codec.
So if a file does't play with avi preview now I have all these codecs I take it they will be fake too??

normally yes but its always good to check them thoroughly first
or even once i downloaded a movie which didnt play but when i put it on a disc i worked so maybe you could try that

if a movie has a .mpg or .mpeg extension you cant preview it with .avi preview, you are supposed to use theater.....

For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to preview or play files in theatre. It's probably simple but whenever I click to preview in theatre with all files it just does nothing?

to preview a file in theater normally you have to have about 1mb of a file downloaded

.avi previews can only preview/play movies with an .avi extension. Theater can play video files with extensions mpeg, mpg, asf , and wmv , just not .avi and .mov i believe...

I'll jut try in avi preview for now but want to try and burn this so called fake file to disc to see if that does work. like u said!
I'm using nero 6 but which section should I go into to do a straight burn - is it 'back up files' ??
Posted by: Aaron_T

Nah, just tried it through Nero Rom 6 to vcd - won't except it - says it's an invalid format and needs encoding. then says no auido and no video.

if this is the first time this has happened it obviously the download just leave this one and notch it down to a corrupt data stream or download another one
