The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there,

I just have downloaded a media file with extension .avi. But when I played it with latest (1. version of vlc, It plays a demo movie showing a text "You need x3player to watch this movie. Download it from get.x3player.com"

Please advice

Regards,
Salman

Usually it is broken-on-purpose movie to force you to buy this shitty player.

Thank you very much, I was also thinking that it is the easiest way of getting money by selling NOTHING, in fact by cheating
