I downloaded a movie using limewire. After download I tried to view the movie but are unable to do it as a message appear saying that I do not have the correct media player. I also have vlc player but that doesn't help either. I am using a mac with the latest operating system. Very frustrated so please help. Feels like I am paying for a service that I cannot use!

I downloaded a movie using limewire but the movie do not want to play. Keep saying incorrect media player! I am using a mac with the latest os and have vlc also but the movie still do not play. Help! feel very frustrated. Songs play well, only video files that give me headace. The movies I downloaded has a Divx.avi extention at the back.

Paying for a service? But LimeWire is free to use. Besides, your problem is with video files.

How large is this video file? If VLC cannot play it, then sounds suspicious.

video file is approximately 706 mb. Is there a trusted site from where I can download movies and do I need special software apart from limewire to do it?

From a site? But if it's a site, then why use LimeWire (LW), why not just use your browser? Did you pay that site to access the videos?

Where did you get LW from?

LW is normally sharing p2p = person to person. It's not downloading from any server site, but between people like you & me.
If you mean it's a torrent site, then I've never heard of a torrent site charging people money, unless it was a scam site. Besides, LW is not a good torrent program.

You could try MPlayer. But AVI is like QuickTime .mov format. What audio & video format is incorporated could be anything.

There are a lot of bogus files out there.
