Movie Downloads problems & questions
 

I using a G4 Mac with OS 9 along with Quicktime 5 Pro.
Having trouble when I download large movies from Limewire in AVI format - More than 95% the files I attempt to
download just don't plain work; I'm using highspeed cable for internet access. After 5 days of trying, I finally was able
to download a movie in two parts (107,357k & 159,407k) , but only could get 36 and 38 minutes on both parts to play. I
could not use Quicktime or a Divx player to play and eventually found a Windows media player 6.3 that works. The
quality is not that great but I can see and hear what I downloaded.

Is this a common problem?? Is there a limit for the size of a file you can download?? Can someone suggest a
URL/link that I can read about more tips and helps for the above. Some of the Files that download can't be opened in
any program - what the deal with that??

Thanks in advance -

AVI files aren't all the same
 

From what I hear the AVI format is not entirely the same all around, although most are the same. Search VersionTracker.com for a 3rd party application to play them, otherwise look for Mpegs instead.

Different versions of the Divx codec are known to cause problems.
