On things like bit torrent, the majority of files are in .avi format. Divx or Xvid. To be honest I have never seen a movie or tv episode in mkv, ogg or ogm format ? Didn't look too hard then. And remember, WMP STILL doesn't support basic codecs like DivX/XviD out of the box. bighead1991 Posted at 10:56 am on Nov. 5, 2006 Quote: from Stormblazer at 2:45 am on Nov. 5, 2006 Quote: from bighead1991 at 3:18 pm on Nov. 4, 2006  How come I can view incomplete torrents on WMP ? Probably because they're WMV files, possibly avi, and because you already had the first and last pieces, and probably most of the rest of it as well. Try playing even a slightly incomplete mkv, ogg, ogm, etc. file under WMP. The files are quite incomplete . . . On things like bit torrent, the majority of files are in .avi format. Divx or Xvid.

Wrong. They can be previewed. See my above post. If you're using Windows Media Player, then you'd be right, because WMP is a piece of crap that can't play anything unless it's 100% perfectly complete and has 0 errors in the file, and is one of microsoft's authorized formats.
