Problem opening avi. files from Rapidshare

[yukiogawa]

I'm having a problem opening the avi. files I download from Rapidshare.

When I download a series of avi. files, the first one opens OK, esp. with VLC. But the next ones refuse to open. VLC says "unrecognized format". And other players say I don't have the right codec (Gom) or that new software updates need to be installed, then can't find any (Realplayer).

But the first file is in exactly the same format and it opens and plays OK.

Am I doing something wrong, or are the other files damaged?

Any help is appreciated.

Ah, i suppose it's because it's a splitted file. You have to join all the files using hjsplit for example.

Hi akuma2002, with regards to your reply above, how do i join all the files into a single file. I'm having the same problem as yukiogawa. What is hjsplit? Is it a software? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What is hjsplit? Is it a software?

Yes it is:

If you want to have an .avi file, you need to have .avi.001, .avi.002 etc
that the program knows how to join them. But it may not work if the file was splitted by another program !

Thanks! hjsplit worked great.

I think I am having this problem that is why I can't play the avi files. I downloaded the hjspilt software but couldn't detect the files.

Any step by step guides please?

If hjsplit didn't recognize the files, it's maybe because the file wasn't splitted. So it's a surely a missing codec. Try downloading CCCP codec pack (at www.cccp-project.net), and tell us if it worked like that.
