Encryption of a movie file.
I have downloaded a movie form a torrent, which is in an AVI file (file size 1.3 GB) format. I used VLC to open the file, but it didn't play and showing the message "This video is encrypted please download the codec". How can I play the file? Any method to decrypt it?
Did it say what it was encrypted with? – fideli – 2010-10-03T05:49:42.860
Is that a real VLC message or something on the video? I agree with the comments about malware. If I had the guts to run it, it would be in a VM or junk isolated machine. – Scott McClenning – 2010-10-03T07:07:20.493
The AVI container provides NO facility for content encryption, the file cannot possibly be encrypted, that is why some companies are using WMV and other formats for distribution. It is just a scam to get you to download malware. – Hydaral – 2011-03-02T05:25:41.907
