.avi problem... Halp mee.

Here's the scoop. I downloaded A Clockwork Orange off of
Soulseek. 700MB, pretty damn big. It's an .avi file.

Why the fuck, when I put it on Windows Media Player, is
there NO VISUALS? There's the audio, but that's it. SURELY,
with a 700MB file, there's more than just audio. And I just
downloaded a Transformers episode earlier today that was
only 90MB, and IT had visuals and worked fine...

For ACOrange, there's just this lightshow on WMPlayer...
after waiting a couple hours, I was pissed.

What's wrong? Do I need some plug in or upgrade or different
program? Something wrong with the file?

C'mon, I'm dying here? Haven't YOU ever had a strange urge
to watch A Clockwork Orange at 2:30 AM? Help a brother out.

I can't remember if the Transformers was .mpg or .avi...
does it matter? Do I need to do something different with an
.avi file?

You probably need a Divx codec. Just search for one on
whatever filesharing thing you have. I got mine on kazaa;
it was pretty small, like 600k or so

I thoroughly enjoyed that masterpiece of cinema, but I found
it a PAIN THE OL' GULLIVER that it skips sometimes, and my
audio was out of sync by a half second or something. That's
because I only have 64MB RAM, I'm getting more soon, praise
be to Allah.

This .avi file had like 6 or 7 spots in the film where it
just froze and I had to close the thing. All in the same
spot... if I watch it again, I'll have to fast forward a
second ahead of these spots, lest I feel rage. Still, didn't
ruin the experience, NOHTING could ruin a Clockwork Orange!.
