this is probably because the filename has no extension. so find out what vid it is and give appropriate extension, you can give any extension for time being.

Download DivX suite from www.divx.com.
You can either try the 15 days DivX pro version or use the free version.
It includes a very simple drag and convert convertor which will encode your video to DivX, a highly compressed format.

Try to give it any extension and play with VLC or Windows Media Player With ACE Mega Codec Pack or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installed. Should Play Anything...
