Looks like some kind of current affairs or news show, display's no 
copyright notices in startup credits, audio is pretty crappy.  Might be 
wrong to assume (based on filename) that it is an illegal download.

Regardless of where it came from, fact of the matter is, file will play 
fine in VLC (and I suspect other players, from what the OP says, Myth 
will not play it correctly)

Now, if we still had the ability to use an "External" Player, this would 
not be a problem.  Myth has problems playing video's from my Nikon 
camera, but VLC, and XBMC do not (on the same system).
