Sorry, I still have no real idea of exactly what you are doing. If this is
a movie/video file, it will have one of the following extensions:

MOV
RM
AVI
WMV
MPG

If the unzipped file does not have one of these extensions, for example if
it's an EXE file then it most certainly is NOT a movie/video file... and may
well be a trojan or virus. If it's a ZIP file, then RIGHT CLICK on it and
EXTRACT TO....

Since the downloaded file in ZIP format, UNZIP it to some folder (right
click on file) and then tell us the resulting file name.
