PL 2007 recording - Spoiler free

[Maija]

Thanks a lot, Videoguy!

Great cap there, hope you stick around

I finally complete the downloads of those 3 parts and now it says "Unexpected Error" or File "File Corrupt" or both!
Please help.

Is that before or after you unzip them? If it's before, try 7-zip, download here. Just open the first zip and extract the video and it'll automatically use the other two.

[RaNeN]

I unzipped it using 7-zip at the end it says file broken. I dont understand whats wrong!!!

[Robert602]

7-zip says file broken? Or file broken when you try to play it?

If it's the former it must be an unfinished or corrupt download, most likely unfinished. Have a look at the properties of each of the parts, the first two should be 209,000,000 bytes in size (not size on disk) and the third should be 147,645,236 bytes. If any one of yours doesn't match you'll have to download that part again.

If they all match one could still be corrupt but you'd have to do a CRC to find which, probably easier just to download the lot again unless it's particularly slow for you.

One last thought - have you checked that you've got plenty of disk space on both your Windows drive and whatever drive you're saving it on?

[RaNeN]

I have got lots of of disk space. It shows file broken when I try and play it in VLC player. To d/l each file it will take me 3 hrs.

[Robert602]

If you've managed to extract it that's a good thing - it's much less likely to be corrupt. You might just be missing some codecs. Try downloading and installing the k-lite codec pack (full) from here (only 14mb), then open the video in media player.

[RaNeN]

Heres what 7-zip says.

[Robert602]

Ah ok. Ignore my previous post then, I thought you meant the error message was coming from VLC. It does indeed look like one or more of the downloaded parts is corrupt unfortunately, you'll most likely have to download one again.

Have you checked the file sizes like I suggested before to see whether any are incomplete? If you can find which of the three parts is bad it'll save a lot of time downloading.

[RaNeN]

My 1st file isnt complete. I'll have to download it again.
Thanks Rob.

[legod]

Fantastic - thank you for this!

[RaNeN]

Ok. Help again. I downloaded the 1st part again it still says file broken. checked the size, its correct. What now??

[tupelo]

RaNeN: Have you tried different unzipping software (winrar etc.) ?

[RaNeN]

Yes. I tried Winrar and after Rob asked me to use 7-zip, thats what I am using now.

[Ekphantos]

It gives you exactly the same error message?
