I haven't downloaded this file (not interested in the title), but
there is a small utility called MediaInfo
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/
Just drag and drop the filename into the app, and it will give you the
specs on it. Useful if you need to know what codec(s) were used for
the video, audio, or subtitles.
Saved my butt the first time I came across a set of rars with an .avi
inside, with a text file that said "if the video doesn't play,
install this codec update". I figured it was flooky, but when I put
the avi into MediaInfo, it wasn't a video file at all, which is why it
wouldn't "play".
Anyway, it's handy to determine whether the video is a rare codec,
such as Divx5, or a rare audio codec, like Ogg, should you find you
have problems playing in whatever software or hardware player you use.
It's a freebee.
