Downloaded movie opens a URL automatically - HOW?

A movie clip I downloaded opens a browser window and a URL automatically. The URL is just a standard website, no problem, my question is how in the hell does that work? I didn't know URL's could be attached to movis in this way?

Anyone know?
 
Steer Clear of anything like this that either wants you to Purchase a Player to Play the File or wants money for a Password or Crack Product Key or what ever. These can be Scams, Viruses, Worms or Fake Files.

You should ALWAYS Use Bitzi when Looking for Video Files. See Below.

This is how it works. After you have completed your search, Right click on the file that you're interested in. Now go to Advanced > Lookup File With Bitzi. Left click on that and a new browser window will open which is Bitzi. Now you will see how other members have rated this file. If you see something like "Bitprint not found" then Leave it alone. Its probably a Fake or Corrupt File. If it has been Rated then you can read what or how the members feel about the file.
 
Another handy tip:
Don't use the players that enable that URL-opening trick. They are
Windows Media Player, the Apple Quicktime Player and Real Player.

The popular substitutes for these three are [VLC media player]
and [Media Player Classic]. There a couple of versions for MPC
called Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative which
enable it to play those two formats too.
