Almost definatly an incomplete or corrupted avi.

download avifix and fix the incomplete .avi file and it should work.

out of what i read on the internet, these codecs are _not_ divx. they all come from the mpeg 4 v3 codec made by microsoft. div3 div4 and ap41 (ap = angel potion) are variants of mp43, that is, the data is stored in the exact same way, the only thing that differs is the header of the file.
however, i still have the same problem - i can't play any of these formats, yet i have installed the mpeg4 v3 codec. the only player that works is the windows ole2 media server or whatever it's called. the rest don't work.
my question is, since this player works, it means i have installed the codec. how can i make bsplayer see that codec (the mp43 codec)?

thanks,
ana

I suggest you to download Tatif's great tool: Avicodec to help you detect what codec are installed, where, and what your movie needs. [/url]
