[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 866314, member: 51635"] Was the movie complete? There's a particular method of multi-file archiving that is popular on binary newsgroups and less reputable places that will RAR the file (RAR is a compression type like ZIP popular in Windows) and the extensions will be .001, .002, .003, etc. If you had a chunk of the movie but not the entire thing, it might play (I think VLC can play incomplete AVI files) but it won't be a reliable full video in itself.
