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
