    Do you have the streaming URL? I might try it with my VLC player. You can also try playing it with Nokia Multimedia Player which supports MP4 officially and very well.

    Yes.. you need mp4 codecs to play.. it's not codex samantha pia :). Therefore, if you just download the Nokia Multimedia Player then it will work just fine. Google for the file and you will get it. Usually this player comes with each Nokia Cell Phone we purchase in a CD however, it is also available online.

    I hope you get it worked soon.

    Yes.. Divix is another nice player for this sort of files. Divix has a codecs pack which you can download from their official site and once that's installed then you will be able to file many different video formats in yoru PC using Divix Player.

    tx for your answers

    But AAARGGGGhhh, I hope to watch 300 2night.

    No luck so far.
    I downloaded a couple of different player in the hope they have the codec already. I even downloaded DivX player but still no movie.

    I should have downloaded it as divx :(

    But come on i don't even hear of see anything

    Is there a way to convert the file to divx???

    that means when you downloaded the video file from torrent, the file was not transferred successfully.. if 1 byte is missing in your video file while downloading, then the whole GB's file will not work.
