Hello, I've downloaded some fragmovies from the archive, but there's a bug that I just can't unpack the video files which are coded with Xvid: neither WinRAR nor 7Zip can unpack them because the file is damaged. All the rest movies work fine.

I think our web host messed up because some of our files suddenly got corrupted. I have seen this with the map packs and various other things I had to restore.

If anyone finds corrupt files, please let me know so I can re-upload them.

Which movies are bad specifically?

I remember that they were:
Blow Me Away by MODaL
Game Over by $anctuary of Warriors clan
weird is that only video files were corrupt. readme's and all the other files worked, and the archive was opened without errors.

Sorry, I didn't get to it. Lemme download one right now and see whats going on. You may also want to try installing the xvid codec thats on the frag vid page just to be sure its not a codec issue.

EDIT: Yeah something is up with you, they work fine for me, and on my new PC too.

ok, thanks.
PS for future: it's not a codec issue because I have K-Lite mega codec pack.

Deathmatch by Durden is broken for me. I downloaded it and I am trying to watch it in VLC. I only get sound and no picture.

And btw, I forced winRAR to unpack the "damaged" movies and SW worked perfectly, while Modal's movie was not played by any prog.

I don't get it. They all work fine for me. Typically if a file is corrupt, it is toast for everyone, not just a few people.

I just downloaded several of the ones mentioned and they all worked for me.

7-zip, Media Player Classic, and ffdshow FTW.
