Hi,

I've been downloading a file for about 2 days now and it has finally completed, but when i try to play it in my media player (Classic Media player) i get the following message that tells me i am unable to play it. I have got Ace Mega Codecs.

Error message:-

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

What I have been using when I have video problems, is VLC player. It will play pretty much anything with no added codecs. http://www.videolan.org/

Good one. And it's free.

Thank you for the quick reply. I 've just downloaded it and i'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

Update: All other forms of video work in VLC so i'm guessing this one and most of the others were fakes. (Will add warning on file messages) Thanks for the help anyway.

Glad to help, and I also got very tired of messing with codecs all the time.

Next time use Gspot to identify the media type, so you can download appropriate codecs.

And just an idea, I think it was a Real Media file you had. Did you have realplayer installed?

[The Hunter]

If you dont want to use Real player, you can use real alternative.http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

Since you are using eMule, you can download part file plug-in for VLC player to preview movie. So, by the time you finish download you'll know it's real!
