When you have downloaded a movie and want to watch it on your comp, you will need to get the codecs for your selected player so it will work, or you can just download the VLC player as the codecs are already installed...
This thread will give you the links you need...

If you decide you want to burn a movie to disk so you can watch it on a dvd player you need a program that will convert your files and then burn them...I personally use http://www.dvdsanta.comfor this, but there are others to choose from...

With your MP3s you can burn them to disk also, there are many programs to do this also, I personally use itunes to do this....

Always remember to scan your download with your AV before opening them...
I hope this has been of some help.....

Angry Limewire does have spyware

According to the Spyware info site, Limewire is "confirmed to have spyware or other unwanted parasites bundled into" it:

Well that report contradics itself as if you look further down to were it says:
Also see this page which details what most of the above programs bundle. This page has a similar list of clean/not clean programs.

Limewire is listed there as clean http://www.p2pconsortium.com/index.php?showtopic=1950

I run 3 different spyware apps and not one of them has ever detected limewire as having any type of spyware.....
