May I ask what the file extension is? Also what the file size is? And which OS version you have?

Default VLC Media Player

Hi Lord of the Rings... The file extension is .avi. The file size is 683 MB and I run on Windows XP. Thanks for your response. You must be up at all hours of day and night!

Either this is the shortest movie in history, or it's definitely not High Definition. A high definition copy of a movie is usually over 4GB large and upwards. It will definitely not be .avi extension, because .avi unlike .mkv does not allow upscaling (has to to with DVD vs. encode pixels as to get proper aspect ratio). VLC is usually a trusted player, whether good or not there are different opinions, but I don't like the fact it purposely tries to make you download VLC and opens a link. Be very sure it's actually the real videolan site and not some copycat trying to have you download malware on your computer.

The real site is VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

Hi Sleepless, you are a veritable treasure. You have hit the nail on the head. I clicked on your link and the web site is nothing at all like the one which you are redirected to when you download the particular movie I have been trying to get. Also, thank you so much for that information about high definition and the file size. It is nothing like 4 Gb. I downloaded it from Limewire, too. I do check Bitzi before downloading but for some movies which are current, people have put a listing on but nothing on the listing about their copy. I find that quite odd.
I can't thank you enough. I guess the best thing for me to do is to wait a couple of weeks and see if more people have copies of the movie which are not a mess. I did say in my judgement in Bitzi that it insists you download VLC Media Player to the point that you are redirected to the web site.
Thank you so much. I am so grateful for your help. You have helped me before actually and got me through a bind so I am a fan!
Kind regards,
Perregrine
