You're probably missing a codec in which the video is encoded. For example, many downloaded movies are stored in DivX or XVID format (kind of like mp3 versus wma). To make them work, you need to download the correct codec, which your player will use to decode the information in the files and play it back for you. Install the codec pack from the link below (which contains all major codecs), and your videos should play fine.

I wouldn't try to play a movie file on the movie maker becuase it will automatically break it into clips.
