If your still subscribed to this thread, you may want to know that domplayer is actually a fake media player bundled with trojans and other crap. And the video file is encrypted and probably some sort of dodgey video as well. Not the latest movie on bittorrent that you thought it was.

HEHE

There are other such fake videos on the torrent sites. Another one is the 3G Player.

Its a general rule of thumb, that if a video asks you to download its own video player, then you can bet your ass that its a fake and its going to hurt you to do it.

Take the file off your PC and just avoid downloading that movie, erm, I mean, that legal Linux distribution... again.
