How do I watch a downloaded zip file (movie) on my PC??

How do I view a zip file I have downloaded (movie) from Limewire pro. Do I need to install something else. I want to watch it on my PC. Any help would be great.

Thank You in Advance,

I don't quite understand why any video file would be zipped. Zipping a video file won't compress it very much if at all. Are you sure it's a video file? How large is it? I think you should see these tips: 1. Beware of files below 1 MB (1,000 KB) WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link)

2. Movie download issues (click on link)

3. Get a reliable video player with in-built codecs; recommended is VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site)

You'd need to unzip that file before you could play it. But check it over with an anti-virus program BEFORE you open it!!! ;)
