What file type are the episode downloads?

Post by Alpha Trion »

I downloaded an episode off the Archive using Getright. When I started dling, it asked me what file type to save it as, and the default was "all files" so I saved it like that. But when I finished downloading I couldn't open the file because I hadn't saved it as the right type. So what type am I supposed to use?

BW/BM are RealVideo (*.RM), the rest I think are all DivX (*.AVI)

I just noticed that on Getright the filename ends with .zip although I saved it as a video file. Should I save it as a zip file or a video file?

Leave it as zip and then extract the video file from the zip, with winzip, winace, or winrar. Changing the extension on the file from .zip to .avi or .rm will not play the movie.
