you need the codec for it to play the film. you can get the codec packs no hassle or just the codec you need for your film from doom9.org. Use a program from that site called g-spot to identify what codec your movie is using. how it works is you download g-spot, run it, tell it what film you want to check and it will give you the details on the file. get the gordon knot codec pack on doom9 for fast results, it should have the codec your require (it's under the downloads section)

Great little program is gspot. I grabbed it for the first time last week & I'm finding it quite invaluable already
