Well...This could be several different things. Need more Info.

What Media Player are you using???
Files could be Corrupt, Viruses, or Fakes.
Do you use Bitzi to check the status of the File before Download???
What Video File Extensions are you downloading???

If they won't open, probably fake files.
Won't play?, fake file, corrupted file, or missing CODEC.
Plays without audio?, missing CODEC.

Read about using Bitzi to check out files before downloading. It will help to save you from downloading bogus, mis-named, or harmful files.

You can get CODECs at a number of sites. I use download.com (CNet) and got a free CODEC pack for WMP.
