thanks for your reply birdy.... however I downloaded divx6 and that decided to play and it burnt on to a cd....but my dvd player can't support avi files so i've been trying to download converters (don't really know what to convert but guessing dvd) however they are for 3o days and print a message straight across the screen.... so:-

question 1: do you know of a free converter or do I have to part with cash?

question 2:- should i look for a different format to download and if so which one? ( think I saw dvd formats but they were about 4 gigs and it seemed to take forever to download this)

question 3:- is th site mainly for downloading to pc and watching from there?

sorry if that sounds a bit up my own a**e but I really don't know how to do this and keep reading threads following info and 10 days later have still got nowhere....promise I won't give up though and when i find out i'll tell the world!
