The reason you cannot open the avi.bc! file is because it is an incomplete bit comet file and as such is not complete, much in the same way that you cannot view some full length movie downloads until they are completed downloading. You just have to find a new copy of whatever it is.

Also changing the file extention through re-naming only rarely works since it is a name and not a conversion of the file itself.

It’s not that you have not completed downloading the file, it is a matter of someone before you not completing their download of the file you’ve downloaded. You just have to find a new copy of whatever it is.

Okay...here’s what i did.
I did what people said...copied the file then renamed it..but you have to understand, that .bc! files are incomplete files...i changed the extension, and opened in VLC. It worked...but i only used this as a preveiw...this will NOT play the full movie as it is incomplete. I also heard there is a program called avipreveiw where you can watch them aswell...I hope this helps some people lol
dont call people noobs..its rude and very unwanted. People maybe need further explaining than others and where is it your place to put them down? just play nice =P

Easy a avi.bc! file denotes simply that the file is not fully Downloaded, some of the remarks on this forum are to my mind jokers, that have No Idea and think they are very clever with there knowlage, in fact they are talking Bull/Sh..t shame because only one had the right answer and put it so well it made the rest seem somewhat insane..

Hello friends, I had the same problem with the files bc! in spite of unloading them BitLord, not BitComet, and after asking and reading in forums as this one I verified that with Video LAN VLC xxx.bc! is opened to me (xxx.bc! any file) without problem! . I wish the same luck you. Ciao from Spain

But what if you are running off of vista? Just go open the command prompt and type in the same stuff or what?

Ok, I’m not a newbie but I’m still stuck!

I got torrent files for every episode and series of a TV show. Some of these are .avi and play fine. Some of them are those dastardly .bin! files. These ones won’t play on any player I have. Here are the problems:

1. The downloads WERE complete, no question. They hit 100% and the files appeared in the download file as normal. The torrents were single torrent files and had no extra bits to download along with the video file, as sometimes they do.

2. I have every codec known to me and this makes no difference.

3. I tried the tools - folder options - view - uncheck method and all it did was show me the file types, it would not let me change them anywhere. Also, they all showed up as .avi anyway!

Please help! Is there anyway I can change the avi.bc! files to plain old .avi that doesn’t involve the tools - folder options thing? Cos that just does no good.

Ok,

For those .bin files I need two answers from you.

Did they come with a .cue file?
Did you try the .bin in VLC Player?

As for the .BC files Bitlord, BitComet, uTorrent all seem to allow you to add the .bc! extension to unfinished files, so try to re-check the files before you go on and delete the .torrent file associated with said file(s).

My downloads were all at 100% and it still said that they are avi.bc! files... so it’s just bull.

This may be an old topic, but Jesus Christ!

The file extension, ".bc!" means that whatever file may have .bc! at the end of it is an INCOMPLETE bittorrent download (the program BitComet uses this extension to identify incomplete downloads). The nature of how bittorrent downloads a file prevents an incomplete .avi file from being fixed or rendered viewable. Other file sharing services that download from the start of a file to the end (in a linear fashion) would allow one to fix and watch an incomplete avi file (I use the program DivFix: http://www.free-codecs.com/DivFix_download.htm or VideoLAN’s VLC Media Player can usually play and repair incomplete AVI files as well: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ).

But, since bittorrent downloads files in pieces, in a random and non-linear order, an avi file would be useless until it’s download was completed. So you are wasting your time if you are trying to watch an AVI file with a .bc! extension as it’s simply impossible to convert it into any viewable or working video file until it’s download is completed.

Even if the file size seems to be consistent with a complete copy of that file, it’s not all there if it still has the ".bc!" extension. Bittorrent software will put the entire size of the file on your hard drive when you start downloading the torrent; sorta like reserving the blank space it will need on your hard drive. It does this to prevent the torrent from failing in the middle of the download process due to lack of hard drive space. It then fills in the blank space it reserved as it downloads the file, piece by piece. That is why an incomplete bittorrent file may SEEM to be complete, but (especially if it is still tagged with .bc!) it is definitely not all there yet.

Maybe I didn’t read this thread thoroughly enough but I’m surprised no one here knows this.
