    Anyone know what's the best video converting software out there? I am trying to burn a torrent but it is in some BC! format or something, it won't show up when im trying to burn the file so i figured the format is not compatible but I cannot find a software that will convert the whole file, not just half of it or with the audio not following the display.

    Also the best video editing software. Any ideas????

    .bc! means the file is incomplete; it's the extension BitComet puts on the downloaded files before they're finished; when it's done downloading it shouldn't have a .bc! extension...

    And stop cross-posting the forums.

    well excuse me for making a mistake, damn.Why would I want to post this at the gaming forum? The file is complete, it plays all the way to the end, but I don't know why it has the BC!. This only comes up when you right-click and go to properties and it is on the FILE TYPE not on the FILE NAME. :confused:

    thanx for the reply

    Open windows explorer,
    go to Tools > Folder Options > View
    uncheck Hide extensions for known filetypes
    [​IMG]

    Then you should be able to remove the .bc! extension and rename it to whatever filetype it's supposed to be, like .avi or something.

    If you don't know what extension it's supposed to have, you should be able to see what the file is supposed to be on whatever site you downloaded the torrent from.
