Unhappy Downloading DVDs and burning/viewing

Hi everyone

I am very new to Limewire and haven't got a clue really? I have been using limewire for 3 days now and still haven't successfully downloaded any dvd's!

however, last night I di, well I thought I did? I downloaded read the forum rules! avi perfect DVD it was described as. When it was completed I tried to play it...nothing I got error message after error message and had to give up, no program on my computer will play what I think is the dvd...can anyone help?


I want to burn what I download..if I can download anything? how do I go about it please?

The only thing I am able to download is covers for cd's or DVD's..no use to me at all!!!

anyone's help on this frustrating matter would be sincerely appreciated.

What format are these files in? Helps to know what type of file you have so we can know what app will play it. Personally I've never searched for that type of media. But I've noticed many movies offered are in fact movies that've been converted into formats that have a smaller resolution than the original; ie: the quality is not as good. And there's a no. of formats people use. Some can be played with QT player, but others require an app with special codecs to play it. For Mac there's MPlayer & VLC. For pc windows there's WMP (requires xtra codecs), DivX, WinAmp, there's many.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I get the following when I pass my mouse over the folder called 'EDITED'

DVDRip.XVID-EDITED_[BT-GM]_[EFNET]
Size: 0 bytes
Folders:Sample,subs
Files b-polly.nfo,b-polly.r00,b-Polly.r01,b-Polly.r02...

I haven't a clue what this means ?

What I am looking for is to download dvd's burn them for private use and also watch them on the PC, so my hubby who is disabled can watch them. I thought it was a matter of downloading them and saving them to the hard drive then burn them to DVD disc so he can watch them when he's well.

I thought it was as straight forward as that but I haven't managed to download anything but the one mentioned and I have been trying for days.

Can you tell me if there is an easy and uncomplicated way to do the things mentioned above and do I have to do some settings in Limewire to get a better success rate.

Once again thank you for your help with this frustrating problem.

as advised above...RTFRulez

The 'Rip' process sounds as though it was done on a pc Windows platform. Please supply the following details: your computer platform (Windows/Mac/other), your hardware & OS details very specifically!, & what video type & burner type softw's you have?

I'm not a pc Windows person personally, so details of the output files are a bit diff't to what I come across.

Other option:
My partner (x-TV producer) borrows many dvd's from 'BlockBuster' but doesn't always get time to see the xtras - particularly for 24 hr loans. So I temporarily back them up onto dvd-rw until we get the time. Perhaps you could consider something similar.

Or otherwise supply the above details & we (hopefully others on Windows) will suggest something.

By the way, AVI's are generally (but certainly not always) VCD standard. It's possible to save into AVI at high-res. Try burning your files to VCD/DVD using RW media & see if it works on your DVD/VCD player. (I must xplore this area & see exactly what is available & what quality the best offer. It won't be the original quality & will be downsized to fit either onto CD/DVD (dvd-5 format).)
