AVI size discrepancy

[richard317]

I have downloaded an avi movie file 660 Mb in size. When I open it in BSPlayer or Media Player it only shows just over 3 minutes in length. Codec is Fourcc, any ideas what the problem is and how I solve it?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You have 1 good and 1 bad point.
1 good is your title with that barbarious word (joke, I will need my dictionnary to get the meaning :) )
1 bad is the mention "downloaded" you may want to read or re-read the forum rules, specially rule6(link top of page): "No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content"
Also "1. Due to situations that might arise in regard to the mentioning of downloaded files, whether legally or illegally obtained, and the negative attention that this might bring to the forum and the board in general, here is a set of do's and dont's for our members that have any queries or are facing problems regarding downloaded files"...
from this newbie forum : http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?f=6

I advise you to quickly edit and/or remove that word before facing problems.

As for your problem :search:
