    Lippy one are we? If you had followed the guide you'd be able to watch that movie by now and it wouldnt be 'such a pain int he but' (you should have noticed the friendly :p on my post before you decided to get all lippy)

    There's your codec.

    Stop bothering.
    I've made the mistake to download [hovzr]....mpg, too, and made the following experience:
    1. If you just rename the file from *.mpg to *.wmv, it works perfectly
    2. Don't think about the film anymore, what turns out is just a silly preview on a coming-soon-movie (which is 2:23 min long - with a bitrate of 8000bps!!)

    So, good luck with succeeding to find the right movie file :)
