It turns out the error is actually quite specific but it can only tell
what's wrong, not why it happened. In this case the recombined
file is identified internally as:
File Type: 7-Zip Archive (.7z)
Mime Type: application/x-7z-compressed
What the nfo failed to explain is this is a split archive with the
original file extension removed. Thanks for the additional info
though, it cleared up the mystery. VLC couldn't play a zip file.

Great the important thing is you got the video. I thank Spike for the
NZBs as well, they make life sooo much easier and I'll get the 1080
also.
FYI I had already saved this one using an NZB from binsearch but got
curious to know how the program I use managed to get the right file
extension on it when none existed.
I downloaded the parts directly from the group and rejoined them with
the old HJ Split and gave it an .mp4 extension and got the same error.
So I ran it through Gspot to see if it could detail the error and it
identified it as a .zip file. It is no longer in development and will
not parse mp4 but in its day was a great program to identify errors in
video.
