I've just downloaded an .avi file
When I try to play it, all I get is computer noise (like loading a ZX Spectrum game).
Any tips on what to do would be gratefully received.

Just realised...I think it IS in VCD format already.
*video footage* - GOOD QUALITY TS-VCD.part1.DivX.avi
Would this explain my problems?
Should I burn the file onto disc and see if it runs on my DVD player?

What application should I be using to play it?
Windows Media Player?
Paul
P.S. Andy, if i don't get any joy with it, can I send you a stamped addressed envelope for a copy?

Im using Power DVD to watch it. excellent piece of software & plays all formats.
You can also transfer it onto VCD format & watch it on your DVD player.
Have a look at the following site for step by step instructions

which media player are you using? There are two.
Windows media player 7 - the one with the fancy graphics or the original media player - mplayer.exe in the windows directory, that is the more basic plain version.
The older one generally plays better than the new one. Try that. Oh & make sure its fullscreen cos it doesnt work in a window - youll see it playing for abit then it stops but fullscreen it works fine

havent you worked it out yet?
right click the file icon. goto properties & summary. This tells you what codec has been used for audio & video - what does the video say? - this will tell you what you need to use to play it.
try media player 6 & 7
divx v.1 / 4 / 5
quicktime 4 / 5
windvd / powerdvd
its gotta be one of them

It states that its a DIVX encoded AVI in the filename, and at a rough guess it's probably using the 5.02 codec (seeing as it's a new file). Download the DIVX 5.02 bundle, which will install the required codec for media player, and also the divx 2.0 player (which is quite usefull as it lets you view the first part of partially downloaded files, to decided if its worth continuing).
Found a good piece of software called 'TPMGEnc 2.5', which can extract DIVX encoded files to MPG format. All you have to do then is split the MPG in to 65 minute blocks, and then write them to VCD's using Nero. Does take a bit mind you (about 10 hours on my machine).
