For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As Mattk has effectively suggested, you need to tell us the file extension for the movie. If, for example, its .rar (as is often found on movie downloads) then it's a compressed file and you need to decompress it before you can view it. If so, you'll need something like this. (Don't worry, it's free!)

Well at least we know that it's not a compressed file. AVI (= Audio Video Interleave) is a standard video format, introduced by Microsoft (so most media players can normally handle it). If VLC can't handle the movie it suggests that the file you've downloaded is corrupt. (Try a fresh download). However itt might still be worth trying VLC's closest rival, GOM:

You could also try installing additional codecs, in the hope that the one used to encode your movie file is among them. See here:

(After installing the codec pack, try the media players which previously wouldn't recognise the file).
