help on divx please help me

I downloaded this file but I can’t for the life of me make it play can u help? I tried gspot and a divx player but still didn’t work please help me, it’s called Charlies.Angels.Full.Throttle.(divx).(Full)
It just cums up as a black screen and seems to be playing!! But it stays black. Any help would be great thanks.

ps also when I was downloading the files there were loads of files with this name and I picked the one with the most user’s, but the files sizes went from 90M to 900M which one is bested for playing back?

As you can see I am just starting off on the downloading video stuff....lol lol

 

What do you mean it didnt work when you used gspot? Was gspot able to read the file when you loaded it into the program? If so tell us the 4cc code of the video codec and the name of the audio codec. Also if you have a fourcc code of '0' then its most likely fake.

Also, judging by the name of the file, you might need the divx codec. If you get a four cc code of:
DX50---i recommend downloading the latest divx codec at http://www.divx.com/divx/

DIV3 or DIV4---i recommend downloading divx 3.11 alpha codec at http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_3_codec.cfm

 

Thanks for the reply,
When gspot is used it cum's up with that "direct show claims to be able to play this file".

But when I use divx player 2.1 it cums up with that video data fourcc code "0" that u said, so this means it’s fake?

If this is so should I download a different one but one of the 1's that are bigger file's?

Cus they are 1's with 900m, as this 1 is only 230m, if I did this would it give me a better chance of it not being fake?

As u see I am only a beginner at this any help would be great thanks.

 

thanks for the help i did't
use Kazaa but i will give the other 1's a run for there money !!

thanks for the help u saved me loads of time in finding out wot the fu(k was up, cheers dude.
