which would be the best one to get??

[zevolv]

Not sure my computers had Mpeg-4 playability built in but I do know that Download.com tests all the stuff on the site so it should be good

i tried to play the file with media player, divx player, dvd players... and they all said that they did not play mprg 4 files so i downloaded the program you recommended and that won't play them wither because it said it was a BIN file.
Does anyone have any idea what a BIN file is??

[zevolv]

what is the file extension on the program you downloaded?

[snoopykul]

try divx.com , but contains spyware and crap
a better place is http://www.divx-digest.com/

!!!!FORGET THAT!!!!

get VLC - Three letters V-L-C
I posted this everywhere. This is the best program out there. Plays ANY movie file. The .DAT when the vids are not 100% dloaded from kazaaa, tha .ISO images of SVCD's .OGG files ANYTHING. MPEG is no problem for it either

just select your OS and dload

(New version by the way... 0.7 is out)

If it's a bin file, most likely you got a .cue file included with it as well. In that case, it's a cd image. You can burn it to cd and use the media player to play the file.

i would burn it alien but the files are too big for me to fit on cd, i will just try to get another version of it somwhere else.

[AlienDB7]

You burn it as a cd image. So you can fit 800M on a 80min (700M) CD.

[DeMoN]

if it is a BIN or ISO you can uncompress it using WinISO or ISOBUSTER. This, however, wont help the fact that you cannot burn it on a CD due to space.

You should get VLC Player from videolan.org and open VLC player and just DRAG the file to the player. VLC can play any file .OGG .AVI .WMF .ISO .BIN etc etc etc (plays subtitles too! if available of course)

get it, you wont regret it.
