libavformat doesn't think it's a video file. What does MediaInfo say about it?

Thanks for wanting to help.
Though, your reply confuses me a bit. Are you saying 'I' deleted something?
The file path is long... but i'm assuming not long enough to cause trouble.
Can you be specific please?

No, he made a mistake reading your log and you should ignore his post.

Please provide the MediaInfo report for "Chowder - S00E03 Spot the Block - Nutrients.avi"

So sorry, that's embarrassing..

Looks like Mediainfo isn't able to read actual file. Thanks for the help. This is obviously a bad video file.
