I am new to this, but I have managed to download a movie and from other forums I have now arranged the CODEC thing and the movie will play with sound however, it will only play about 6 scenes over and over. I have tried different players and the same thing happens. The movie in in avi format. Do I need to convert it??? Is the download no good?? Is there something else I can try?? Please help !!! Thanks in advance

Sounds like a damaged or fake file.
You could try fixing it with this: [Video Fixer]

Thanks. I tried that but it did not help. I downloaded the movie from LimeWire. How can I be sure that they are okay? It had the 4 stars!!
Thanks

Thanks Aaron,
I have now read nearly every forum in the past 5 years and now have some idea on how to prevent some bad downloads.
