Possibly nothing, but it might be worth checking the codec the movie
is encoded with - it might be XviD rather than DivX
There`s a program called GSpot that might help you determine which
codecs the files use, but XviD can a bit of an awkward b'stard as its
an open source codec and several versions are in common use.
Typical signs of not having the right particular version of a codec
installed on a PC might be no video or broken video, or quite often a
green screen background as the audio plays.
It may be that the home cinema is hitting a similar problem and
doesn`t know how to handle the file correctly - that said, it might be
possible to simply convert it to a "normal" mpg which may allow it to
play.
