cant play avi file

I downloaded a torrent and today it has finished and I tried to watch it in my pc. The file extension is avi and I tried Quicktime, Windows Media Player and DivX but nothing worked.I also tried changing the file extension to wmv, mpg, mov but no luck. What should I do?

download gspot and find out what codec it is.

Well I downloaded that Nimo pack from DIvX so no when I play the movie it opens a DivXG4000 and the movie does play, but on the screen there are a lot of green blotches and the images kind of sink into each other.
Any help about that please

Green Blotches..?
Could be an Xvid coded movie.
try downloading Xvid codec

I tried gspot to scan a file that i downloaded with torrents. It said it wasnt an avi file, even though the file is named with .avi extension. Is their any program you can use to scan any type of media file to tell me what it is?

I have download a movie from torrent but when i play it ask “use the media playr”.I have tried km player,vlc player,real player

plz help me

Only change the file extension perhaps won’t do, You need convert video codec, I recommend [url=http://www.aneesoft.com]Aneesoft[/url], it is completely free.
