Wierd Movie Downloads...Please Help

[jmd]

I am running limewire on the Mac OS 10.3 Platform. While downloading large movies i tend to get movies that are much shorter -30sec to 1min- then the 50meg -100meg sized moves i tend to be d/l. When i preview the movie sometimes it shows more then the amount i end up with at the conclusion of the d/l. Other times it shows a preview with even less. Please help. It is so annoying after d/l a huge file to get all hundred megs but only one min worth of viewing. THANKS!!

I've had similar issues. I've sound that sometimes these movies are organised into chapters that QT player finds difficult to access. Try another player such as mplayer or VLC (it's free)! The latter also plays most movie types incl. VCD, DVD & DivX.

It may also be that these movies are corrupted ones. QT will indeed definitely not play the entire file.
