Tsukumo Yuma Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have an episode of Mach GoGoGo that I was going to upload with the rest, but it is compressed in a EXE file, I thought I could open it like you do with Zip and RAR files, but it did not work, would someone help me out? This is the link to the EXE file, I can't open http://www.filefactory.com/file/5vy1luebkpvx/Mach_GoGoGo_1967_Luurah_-_TSHS_episode_05_6F293A72_mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Valdearg Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sure it's the actual video? It sounds more like one of those scam downloads that make you install a lot of spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 That could be one of those self-extracting zip files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-extracting_archive If you're sure it's not a virus, run it and it should self-extract on to wherever you put it. You can then use your own program (like 7zip) to zip up the data in the format you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Exe files are executables, which means its a program rather than a video. Most likely it is a virus or other fake download. I'd say find another place to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 That file is most definitely an mp4... You just need to read what it says about a download manager~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

console Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Try downloading a program called sandboxie and open the file in sand box if you really want to open it. The sandbox should isolate the file from your OS and prevent any damage if it turns out to be fake. Most of the time if you download a video and it's not a familar video file format, it could be a virus/malware etc. I would not recommend opening it unless you isolate the file. I bet it's probably once of those popups or site redirects that popup a download exe. They give you real link to the file and then another link to some popup to download a file with extension .exe.

Tsukumo Yuma Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks, but I found it on the other fansub teams site, and it took a while since MEGA does not work on my computer, but I found a way to download it, it was in a zip file.It is now on this site.
