No file extension

[Ginmardo]

Hi,

I burned a few movies (.avi) on a dvd from my friends hard drive and copied and pasted onto my PC. But in the movies library it shows file type as "File" without any extension. I even checked the file properties, which also shows no extension.

I can play them on my PC using "open with VLC Player", but I can't set it to default. How can I get Windows to read it as .avi again?
Or how do I convert it?

Check here if the box next to known file types is unchecked

If so you might have inadvertently renamed the file and forgot to add the extensions..so simply rename them back to something.avi

Oh yeah, renaming the file with the extension solved it. Thanks dude.
