I know this is a bit of copyright infringement, but I have a Japanese Hobby TV show called "Plamo Tsukurou CUSTOM". Its hobby show where they make models of different types (Gundam, Cars, Plains, etc...) I download them because I am in the US. I don't think you can buy them either, plus the NTSC and PAL issues. Almost all work fine but I have three that are causing problems. They are AVI files; they will not play in any player except the Divx player from www.divx.com (which they play fine in). I normally use VLC Media Player. When I try to open it in a different player they error out stating it is not a valid video file. I have tried a few different converters (Divx Converter, Total Video Converter, and Avidemux) none are able to open and or convert it to a different format. If anyone has them they are Episodes 15, 16 and 18 from the second season. Each is about 250-300 Megs. I know this is little to no information to gone and I can't post a link to the file, but how can I open the file(s) to the information out of it to be able to ask a more sensible question. Is there an "inspector" program that will open the file and read the format to report what it is? Any help would be great.
Download and open the file with Gspot, it should givbe all the relevant info. A second thought is virtualdub or virtualdubmod, which can recreate the avi's index if it's missing or damaged.
Thanks, Gspot let me know that they were Real Media files. I Can covnert them AVI now and burn the to DVD Thanks,
