    the file you are trying to watch has been encoded with divx... divx is to dvd and video what mp3 is to cd's and audio... so you need to install a divx codec, after you do this you will be able to watch the video... you can get a bundle of popular video codecs from www.xpcodecpack.com.. that is what I use, its alot easier than running around and collecting them all..

    Get a program called Gspot, it will read the movie file and give you what type of video codec that was used to encode the movie file.

    DOWNLOAD HERE:

    Once you figure out the codec you need download FFdshow to install the necessary codecs:
