If it's not an avi file then what is it? Is the extension avi or tmp? http://filext.com/detaillist.php?ext...&Search=Search I can't find other references to it as not being an extension. Try other video-codec identifier utilities & see what they say; CODECs list and alternate players for Movies. But if VLC can't play it then I don't hold much luck for it. VLC is usually a good litmus test as to whether a video file is good or not.

Hi Lord of the Rings

Thanks for helping me out.

The file extension says AVI. And I ran Gspot and it found that this file is a non-avi file. So I am stumped on what other utility that can identify this file.

In addition is has a TMP in the name of the file (not the extension).

I am a bit confused where you said :

"TMPG encoder & burner (TMP is for burning dvd's, VCD's, etc. only!)"

So how does one see a VCD or burned dvd movie?

Thanks for your help
