AVI file wont play/open (tried maaaaany solutions)

Alright so, I downloaded a season of the tv. series OZ some files play and some don't. At first I tried downloading VLC player and some files that werent playing before worked but STILL some wouldnt. So, I tried downloading ffdshow and they wont work with that either. Then I downloaded gspot and opened a file that wouldnt play, gspot said Filetype: unknown Mimetype: unknown.

I dont Fu*king UNDERSTAND why my files wont play!!!!!!!! grrrrr But I am a newbie to this so its probably some stupid simple reason why the files wont work. (sorry if this message makes me seem like a jackass, im just very frustrated)

Can anyone help?

Re: AVI file wont play/open (tried maaaaany solutions)

Downloading other people's anonymous encodings always carried the risk that some of them are bad at source. If Gspot and VLC won't work with them then something must be seriously wrong.

I suggest you buy the DVDs, seeing as this series is for sale at Amazon and you probably need to read the forum rules again before asking for help with copyright material.

We can assist people who want to make a lawful back-up copy to protect their original purchase, or, because of copy protections, have problems in using their original licensed dvd/cd(s). The forum is not here to help people to make illegal copies of copyright material .
  • If you are having difficulties in making a working back-up (whether as an image or physical copy) of a dvd/cd that you own, feel free to ask and we'll be glad to help if we can.
  • If you have a problem getting your original dvd/cd to run because of copy protection; again, we're glad to help.
  • However, if you don't own a licensed original and you're having problems getting illegally downloaded ISO image/avi files working, then too bad. Buy the original game, movie or album and don't waste our time and yours by asking for help here.
As Da_Taxman would say- "Respect CDFreaks by respecting our rules " (and remember that you agreed to abide by them when you joined the forum).
