I have Bearshare V 5.10 (same result with V5.25), no router and Zone alarm V6.5.737 running on an XP machine with dual core CPU and 1GB memory. For some reason, any .avi file I download ends up as a Video Clip format (what is this anyway). Any program I use to play it only shows spiral lines and not the video. I tried converting it to wmv and avi formats using the program Super & ended up with junk. I downloaded a file I downloaded a year ago which played ok back then, but now ends up as a useless Video Clip. Please let me know if this can be resolved.

I don't think it's a bearshare problem since .avi files downloaded with utorrent also end up as Video Clip format. No player can play these files. I just get spiral lines instead of the video & sound.

I did not ask if any player can play it, what I asked was specifically if videolan can play it, and I asked that for a reason, so please once again, if you don't have videolan let me know, if you do then please specify that it could not play it, videolan is completely different then all your other players ; )

also I did not say the problem was from bearshare, I'm telling bareshare sucks period ;)

I didn't get the chance to try videolan. Another person suggested installing the k-lite codecs and this did the trick. My files are now correctly labled as type .avi and play fine in media player.
I would like another alternative to bearshare. However, when I tried bitcommet, bittorrent, the downloads took much, much longer than bearshare. Can you suggest something as good as or better than bearshare at download files?
