Download Movies #3
 

In other words I can download from Limewire music/avi/clips ok, I have AOL Broadband-dsl service. All I need to know is what program should I use to download MOVIES (MPEG/MOV/MPG) DO I USE THE VIDEO/PROGRAM/AUDIO/ETC. WHICH ONE??

Choose Video or just a general search. The 1st will be tailored to search for what you want.
If you wish to edit the movies, check your video editor manual to see what formats it can import.
Or alternatively BitTorrent is good for dwnlding movies.

Hey, not sure if i'll be able to help but i just started learning about this subject. I've used limewire pro to download my movies ( I'm on dial up so it takes a long time ) but what I've found was this... I only download movies that has been dvdripped from "xvid." If you tend to use this, you will need the xvid codec, goto google.com and look for it... Most of the xvids i've seen is in .avi format, its great quality. Most of these files are 700 megs or higher.

Also you may want to go download the divx codec/ player, if you download some of the "divx" dvd ripped movies, but either way the divx player seems to run eithen the xvid movies better than windows media player from my experience.

heres the link for that... hope this helps

Cool, I was wondering about that burning to watch on a DVD player... Thanks for that infomation. Do you have to burn them on the dvd blank disc or is there a way to do them with regular cd-r's if theres enough room?

Thanks again

You can burn VCDs and SVCDs on a normal CD.

DVD is TOP quality and needs a lot of space. SVCDs have lower quality so that you can burn a movie on 3 or 4 normal CDs. VCDs have the lowest quality and only recommended when you can´t burn or watch SVCDs.

'If' you have a dvd burner, you could burn it to a dvd disk. You could put more than 1 movie on a disk. dvd uses mpeg 2. But it sounds like the intent of the conversion of those movies you have was for cd media, unless they're in parts. If you've got movies over 700 mb, particularly if each is one is only a part of a movie, a dvd might be the way to go. Saves having several disks for one movie. But that's ONLY if you have a dvd burner!

Cool, thanks for my replies... Funny this wasnt eithen my thread lol, but anyways I think I may stick to just watching the movies on my pc for the time saving... Of the ones I've downloaded they were one file, around 700 - 800 megs... Can someone recommend a splitter or something that I can split one movie that is 800 megs so that I can put it on 2 cd-r's? Thanks again

This works not with older burner.

You can google video splitters. I did it once before & came up with some interesting results. In fact, I posted some choices on this forum somewhere. But then, I've heard you need to be careful about splitting those types of files.

Mine is almost 4 years old. :(

But is it really worth the risk. I suppose cd burners for pc are so cheap nowadays. But I certainly wouldn't want to risk my dvd burner doing that type of thing (overburning.) It sounds as though it may reduce their lifespan. Morgwen do you ever have any probs with your burning normal/overburn? Any coasters/unreliable ones to date? I've heard only that overburns will not play on all players.

With a DVD burner there is no need to overburn. Just use a DVD.

Yes my problem is that I can´t overburn.

Technically there is no reason for this. All CDs have a 800Mbs space or more, the reason why you can only burn 700MB is that the rest is needed for error correction and this isn´t needed for videos and music.

Morgwen

I remember reading that there were larger than 700 MB disks out on the market but the general comment was that they weren't recognised/couldn't play the last parts in all players. That's probably why they didn't get very far on the market. DVD burners can also generally burn cd's which is why I mentioned the cd choice. Some people may decid to overburn a cd than burn to dvd. My knowledge is limited as far as pc apps go, but to my knowledge, it depends upon both the burner software & the burner itself (& arguably the reliability of the media itself. - some brands of media might be moe reliable than others at overburning.) eg: I've noticed I can reliably fit more onto a Verbatim DVD-rw than a TDK dvd-rw. When the app says the blank tdk disk doesn't have enough space, then sometimes when I swap it with a verbatim, it can fit it. It seems to be not far under 100 MB difference (or perhaps 50-80 MB.)

This is true. I bought a 800Mb cd and with overburing you can burn over 900MB.

But a normal CD can be read from the beginning until the end you just use the 100 MB error correction for burning. I never had problems with such Cds or heard about it.

I have a 5 year old Plextor 8-4-32 it still works flawlesly

lol thanks for the answers/posts... I have no clue what type of burner I have, all I know its old and only burns at 4x max!!!!

Wow, eh? lol

Quick Time Encoder/decoder
 

Does anyone know where to download de quick time encoder/decoder but without installing the quicktime player ???
Or better yet, is there any page or site to download all kinds of decoders (except OM2 one's), Sorry for the subject, I know it's nothing to do with lime wire :$
Regards

Depends which platform you're talking about, mac or windows. Worthy ones to get are DivX http://www.divx.com & 3ivx for a start (google 3ivx.) Mpeg 2 helps but it does cost money. Having QT Pro unlocks a no. of codecs for encoding which are already installed on your system. Also go to QT's Prefs & MIME settings & make sure all plug-ins are ticked. You can also dwnld some xtra 3rd party ones for free if you press update QT & are using a mac.

I'm using WinXP SP2, & do'nt want to install QT as far as I see Winamp has made an excellent job with their 5.05 version and also I'll start TV Broadcasting in a around 2 weeks or so, So that's the main reasson for trying to get all encoders *** possible
Thanks for the info and regards

I'm new and didn't know where to post this...I can dowmload the video files but what player do I need to play them with..I can't use the windows player????

try VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ use any mirror site. It's free & plays most video formats plus more (its codecs are built in.) It's not the most stable or brilliant interface but it does its job.

nero recode can split it for you, it is included with the full nero package. it will recode the movies "to Fit" to whatever you want to split it to, and has custom splitting where you can specify how many dvd's or cd's. Even with dvd's i still have to split most movies onto 2 dvd's.
