I downloaded a movie and when I play it in VLC or Windows Media player - I get text over the movie being played - 'Codec Error:Use Windows Media Player' followed by 'Aborting video, redirected to Microsoft Codec Download page'. The hour long video runs only for 15 seconds and opens a page on some torrent page which asks me to fill a survey form(which is irresponsive) to download VLC player again.
Coke studio season 7 mp3 download. Is there any way I can work around it?
While you might not be able to install or run a dedicated torrent client, it may be possible to run a standard file download manager. There are many around that handle normal file downloads but a few free managers are also able to download torrents.

- There are several archival apps that can open these files, as well as some of the more popular file explorer apps. Download a media player app to open media files like MKV. Many video files that you download from torrents come in MKV format. Your default video player will likely not be able to play these files.

Dubious. Survey filling for a codec is a sure-shot giveaway for spam and email harvesting or other sorts of (drive-by) malware. Stay away from it.

Ok. I found the solution to my problem - http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64879
These videos are 'hacked' videos that contain scripts which can be executed by WMP only. The purpose of this is to force you to be redirected to another site and/or to download some stuff in the background. If you can't play them in WMP then it's a good sign meaning that your Windows and WMP are correctly patched with the latest security updates.
Anyway you should delete these videos as soon as possible because they may compromise the security of your computer if they are played in WMP.
