[BOLD] WHAT IS DIVX-SAPHIRE.AVI[BOLD]

HI ALL.
THIS IS MY FIRST POST
here is my problem.


[bold]"Omen,The4.the.Awakening.dvdrip.xvid-saphire.avi"[bold]

it took 3 days to download this file. now i cannot open it
you understand the frustration.

cannot find any info on this ext.
Can you please help me to get a player that will play this file.
i have used gspot and media code to get the codecs required but they have no info.
any body any info please.

Thanks in advance

 

XviD is the video codec, Saphire is the release group and avi is the container. All you should need to play it is XviD (or equiv). You could also use a standalone player such as mplayer, VLC, etc.

 

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I have tried vlc media player and divx player with no joy.
can you sggest why gspot would not give any info?

can you sggest how i can check if file is corrupt.
Divx player gives the following-

"failed to open file. please check that it is a valid avi or mpeg4 file"

any ideas .Please
ps . is it p[ossible to send the file to you as an attachment.

 

sORRY

CORRECT TITLE OF FILE.


"Omen,The4.the.Awakening.dvdrip.divx-saphire.avi"
it should be divx and not xvid

 

Download this and play it in the divx player


http://www.divx.com/

 

I have already got divx player 6.2
and it will not play the file??????????????
thks anyway

 

If GSpot doesn't recognise it as an avi, then it isn't.

It is either
a) incomplete (missing header)
b) corrupt (corrupt header)
c) fake
d) wrong file extension, well plus the rest of the filename would be wrong to.

Scene releases don't allow DivX. So I would be going with c. Probably there is no DVDRip's out or at least not one from Saphire. Have you checked?

 

thanks nagain for reply.

will check your suggestions

thanks again

 

cannot get file to play

used nero and turned it into an image file.
no problem.

if you are interested i will send you the original file .
just tell me how to do that(enclose an attatchment)

I really would like to know about this file.
1)could you recommend a tutorial on hash checking
2)how can you tell that a torrent is good
do you go by the heath?
any other meams of checking before you download that this is a full file.
