Error -2048: the file is not a movie file
    #5044695 - 12/10/05 03:18 PM (18 years, 5 months ago)

I downloaded a movie using BitTorrent, but I can't play it. I get the error message:

'Error -2048: the file is not a movie file'

Any way around this? I've tried other video players (windows media, divx, real player), but they all say they need additional software or some crap like that.

I think I may have found out the problem. Because it's a dvd I downloaded, common sense would lead me to believe I need a dvd playing program. I have one upstairs, I'll try it later.
