You probably have the whole file you just don't have the proper codec to view it on WMP. I would download a codec pack (something like K lite) and try again. Try that first.

Depends what you downloaded. Most likely you're downloading .avi files that won't play on just any stand alone DVD player but will play on a stand alone DVD player that has DIVX marked on the front of it.

yes,i do have a player that plays DIVX,so i guess i am good to go,thanks for the info :)

Note: avi is not a dvd file it's a data file. Burn the avi files as a data file to a dvd or cd and the divx player should play them fine.

Good luck.

feel free to PM me if you have any problems
