The Message is saying that it can't and it won't because you got no Xvid codec.

Try this: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

i installed both xvid and divx codecs just to make sure and still get that same error box

i noticed that there are two other types of files in the folder that i downloaded with the movie..

im sure those .idx files that are shown as "documents" have something to do with the problem im having.. right? :hmm:

Yes, I think you have the set of files that create a VCD. Maybe try using them to burn a VCD in Toast.

Well at least you end up doing the right thing, and the bonus is that the one you buy will be very good quality compared to the one you could have made that would have been almost unwatchable. :blush: :wave:
