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.
Is there any way I can work around it?
