Try divx
not sure if it'll work.
Try playing it through the player first then if that doesn't work just delete the player and keep the codec ( add and remove prgram)
Worked for me with episodes of 24, hopefully it'll work for you.

It sounds like what you've downloaded is a file for a Video CD or SVCD. This consists of a .bin and a .cue file. (If you've not downloaded the .cue file, do a search for that and download it, it will be of the same name as the .bin only really really small). What you need to do is have both files in the same folder then open up a CD burning program like Nero. You choose Burn Image file then drag the .cue file into the window and burn it. Pop a blank CD in and It will then burn you a Video CD with your movie on it...
However, a .bin file could also be an archive file and you will need WinAce or Stuffit to open it.
If you are downloading movies though make sure you download a .avi file. These will be playable on Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or Divx player.
Make sure you have the latest codecs too. You can get these free from
www.divx.com
www.3ivx.com,
and www.xvid.com
to ensure you'll be able to playback all the latest files in the latest formats.

Need more information, what is the filetype of what you have downloaded. A movie should normaly be .avi or .mpeg.
If you have .iso or .cue/.bin then is a disk image that needs to be burned to a disc.
The other thing you may have is .rar (possibly with .r01 .r02 etc) This is an archive and you need to download something like 7-zip to extract it.
Also try vlc from http://www.videolan.org this plays most video formats.
