And since I downloadet pro when do I get does promised CD's and the free stuff?

Re: avi files
 

What do you mean with change the files?

Who promised you CDs and free stuff? You pay for Limewire PRO and there aren´t any CDs or free tuff included.

in here http://www.iMusicSearch.com/download.htm thats how I came to Lime Wire. Do i miss something??

Yes! This is a scam site and has NOTHING to do with Limewire. Today you are the second with the same site:

Why don´t you ask them for the Cds and free stuff? Or better ask them for a refund!!!

Wow! THIS is the official LW website which is where you should have dwnlded LW from: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml. Check this out, you're not the 1st: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1

are you telling me I actually don't need to pay for Lime Wire?? the Basic download?

No yu don't need to pay for the basic version. The pro version is $18.88 & offers 6 mths free updates & tech support. Many people see it moreso as a donation really.

Also see this thread: 'I've been Ripped Off!' (click on links)

so I was twice stupid :mad: paid for the basic download 37.-and 18.80 for pro:eek: and I'm not even blond;)

we ripped off people should go to the new's or do something......at least so that no more people can be lost they're money!!:(

It is possible for you to get your money back, see how some others have got their money back: The link both morgwen & I gave you (the 2nd link on my 1st post!) The last link in my last post was another person who also posted here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&postid=101329 Morgwen we keep bumping into each other, funny I was sure I was 1st after chicagolady mentioned musicsearch, lol. I can't wait to get connected to broadband.

LOTR today you are always a step behind me. ;)

I closed this thread already because this users started a second thread, see my link I posted in my second reply.

so thanks guy's for helping at the second question,

but i still don't know how to burn the files. Yes I do know how if my Toaster takes the files...but with the avi files he don't take them. And so how I figured...are the avi files mostly the real one's for the movies....or??

so can I count on your tip's and help again :)

thanks

The question is will you watch them on your DVD player or only on your comp? DVD players usually don´t support .avi files you have to covert them to VCD/SVCD burning software like Nero is able to do it.

By real ones do mean DVDs? No, they aren´t DVDs have aroung 4 Gb per cd so a normal video would have around 8 - 12 Gb - .avi usually have between 500MB and 800MB. You see its a very huge difference in size.

Don´t forget the marmelade. ;)

When you say AVI, it could mean a great many things. It's a little bit like QucikTime. There's many different QT codecs tht create QT movies but not all are comopatible with all apps. eg: I created a divX-AVI format movie tonight (out of full quality standard dv video) & Toast has no probs recognising it (I didn't use divx to burn it with though.) So your avi file could have been encoded any no. of ways! I presume you were refering to Toast right?! Try selecting Video & drag & drop it into the toast window. For Toast 6 that's easy. For Toast 5, depending upon whether you choose video cd/dvd it might need to be converted by Toast (Click on other & choose options.)

Oh Morgwen, the 1st link was to the closed thread, the 2nd to the original you were referring to. I corrected after I realised it was closed!

I would like to watch them on my DVD Player on TV. If I finally find a whole movie to dl.

Do you have Toast? If so which version? You may need to dwnld the mac version divx codec if it has been encoded in that (see http://www.divx.com/divx/player/ for free player & http://www.3ivx.com/ )

I have version 6 :) and just got the Panther Software....will see tomorrow if it makes any difference from Jaguar to Panther......wish me good look....

good night for know guy's and thanks....;)

You'll love Panther!!! It's a great os & reintroduces some things that osx had left out since os9. I would like to know which version Toast you have though!??? Also make sure you dwnld those codecs I gave you the links to.

DivX Player with DivX Codec for Windows 2K/XP
DivX Player with DivX Codec for Windows 98/ME
DivX Player Only for Windows


which one do I take??? with a mac???:confused:

I remember now it took me a while to find the right page: http://www.divx.com/divx/download/ Don't forget the other one as well. http://www.3ivx.com/technology/quicktime/index.html & http://www.3ivx.com/download/index.html You'll see the link for osx on the right R-side.
