BitTorrent VCDs
The folders with "VCDs" that I download from BitTorrent client don't open in Toast and MPlayer and VLC just hang. What is wrong with them, is it some PC centric thing? MPlayer has done such a good job opening everything I was disappointed since BT downloads are INSTANT. I'm not joking.

Just make sure that it finishes downloading before you try opening it... VLC should work at that point.
BT is fast, but not instantaneous.
Dang.

Right, I understand, but are there any other programs that do it this way? I've never noticed it before.
