And a window pops up on VLC saying:

It's a sign that you should wait and buy legit media - or maybe the files are actually corrupted. How did you fix your invisible files problem?

Play them where they work

Do you have a seperate partition or hard drive for movies ?
You should to stay away from Windows control.
I guess you know theres 2 types of avi's . Windows original
or Divx.Try Divx Player.

But these posts on "missing files" doesn't add up.
I never lose control of where mine are.
Movies on D and Music on E.

Hi Zipperman, My 400+ movies are on a separate Drive, and windows used to be on it but i had a bad problem with it... i tried to reformat it, but since its a SATA drive i messed it up and didn't use my Bootable SlipStream DVD Correctly. so, there is a weird half OS that dosent work so i use it
for storage.

and my movies are not legally protected by copyrights.

thanks for your post xjoesullix but my movies aren't corrupt.

And LNCpapa why would i need to buy legit media when i can download for free and the movies are just fine?
Someone posted and i fixed my problem with the "invisble media" this way:

Most access denied messages are usually solved by logging in as

administrator (if your not already) and "Taking ownership" of the files/folders,as described HERE

The reason it says 0 bytes is because Windows doesn`t think you have

the rights to know this information.You have to tell it that you do

My movies also cannot be moved out of the folder:

Access is denied.
make sure the disk is not full or write protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
