Bonjour,
I recently downloaded a torrent file, a movie to be precise. Everything is going well, the download is finishing. But the movie won't open with the player I'm using, a small video opens and tells me that I need to download moviexplayer. Okay, I download it and pay in the process 1 euro 50. But with moviexplayer it still doesn't work. Could you explain to me how I can play my movie?
Thank you

Scammed!!!
A friend of mine also came across a video like this, except that... being a bit of a computer scientist by profession, at first he didn't understand how it was possible to create a video file with a readable part and an unreadable part without triggering a corrupted file alert in vlc, so he went ahead and took a look at the file (come on now!) and there... TADAAAAA!!!.... nothing :) he did find the data corresponding to the mini-video moviexplayer that takes up about 2MB of file space, but the rest of the file is empty so: NICE SCAM - very clever indeed, who will complain about losing a few euros for trying to download illegally? Not you, I hope. THIS IS GREAT ART, MADAM!-
Ahah!!! I was forgetting, there's no need to dissect a file like a pro to know if it's "ALL EMPTY INSIDE". You just need a compression program like WinZip or a free alternative like 7z to compress the file and check. If a 300MB video file turns into an archive of less than 10MB in just a few seconds, and generally, if a video file of type mpg/mpeg/avi/mp4 or a music file mp3 can be compressed by more than 10%, there's a big problem because these types of media files are already optimized to take up as little space as possible on a hard drive.
For example: compression by 7z: fake_moviexplayer.avi of 347MB --> file reduced to 7MB in 10 seconds.
Real avi file of 357MB by 7z --> file reduced to 352MB in 2 minutes.
No discussion possible, there's practically nothing to compress in a real avi video.
