Right, this problem Im having with avi's is truely frustrating!

Quick recap:

Downloaded avi movies from hoster on torrent site, movies work through only one player - neuview, but refuse to load on anything else!

I have all codecs and the neccesary crap, but its not having it

Whats worse is that I try load the files into a conversion programme, it just fails to do so and crashes, turning the programme non responsive

When I import movies into VLC player, it says something along the lines of "avi File is broken would you like VLC to fix it" which takes ages...but again, only leaves it viewable in VLC or Neuview....I cant even burn them to disc, which is really frustrating

Does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Or better still, how the hell to deal with it?

{without using a size 10 steel toecapped boot or nuking it from orbit)

Cheers
