you need codecs mate...google for one called Nimo 5.0. Download, install...then try again You can also use winamp or something instead of MP if you wish

Nope, keep downloading, sort the codecs when it's done...
Also, have a look on Google for a program called AVICodec......download & install it, then run the video file in it, it'll tell you which audio/video codecs you need, and give a link to download them!
I'd also consider downloading DivX Player, I tend to use that for all non-WMV video-files...

should really preview videos whilst downloading mate...can screw them up. Use AVIPreview (comes with kazaa lite...well did) and that allows you preview avi's and mpegs (nothing else)...but i stil wouldnt recommend, previewing it. Just do it once, to check quality etc...then leave it
And no, keep the download going....just install the codecs after its finished (needs a restart of the machine etc).

lol mate...google for the Nimo 5.0 codecs...download them.
Then ONCE the film has finished downloading...install the codec (the file you downloaded earlier) and reboot the system.
Wack open Media Player or winamp or what ever you use and watch the film
if it still doesnt work, the google for a program called GSpot or AVICodec like dan said, and open the video file in that and it will tell you what codec it needs. Then google for that codec
