Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default New Version Of Limewire (movies not playing thru DVD player)

I am new on this forum so I need any advice you can give me. I have been using limewire ever since it first came out and I have to say I don't like this new verison. The last one was so easy to understand and I never had problems what I downloaded. Ok here is the question I need help with.

Why is it ever time I download movies using this new version limewire when I put the dvd to play in my dvd it dont show nothing. Im telling you I have so many movies I download from the old version limewire and I was able to play alot of movies I burn and watch it on my dvd player. Now with this new version I watch movie and I can watch on my computer but when I put in my dvd player nope move dont show. ANd I know it is not my dvd player cause I have all movies so many movies I burnt from the old version limewire and friends who burn movies from whatever they use and my dvd player played them all. Now this new version of limewire I download movies and wont let me watch now. Did limewire put a block now that you can no longer watch movies on your dvd player but only on your computer. Cuase there no way I can sit on my computer and watch tv and hurt my eyes and my back. Any advice why limewire is doing this.

What extension are the movies that won't play?

Which program are you using to transcode/burn the files?

Are you still using the same brand & type of DVD discs as before?

Did you see any error messages when you were burning the movies?

hey you just responded to my post so i thought i write you here .

Ok I am downloading avi files movies that my dvd player will play. It doesnt play mp4 on dvd player has to be mpeg or avi. What seem to show what the file is when you download on limewire in the past and now.

I am using nero and I never had problem with it. I am able to burn whatever I want on my dvd using my nero program.

Yes I am still using the same brand of dvd when I burn movies or music. Nothing has change.

No I dont see any error when I burn dvd. I am able to burn them and when I view the files on the dvd on m ycomputer all the music and movies are on the dvd and able to play them on my computer but some reason when I put in my dvd player it doesnt show. I know there were some movies in the old version you couldn't play in mydvd player depending on the file type but always was able to get whatever movie I want. I just downloaded 14 movies and burn them all on dvd and it dont show on my dvd player only if i open it in my computer.

I m thinking limewire may put a code in the limewire so you cant watch it on your dvd. I dont know I never had problem with you guys till you have this new version.

Sounds to me like they were not burnt to DVD video format, but simply data disk format. Standard DVD video disks use UDF format.

Did you check whether the disks are PAL or NTSC? My DVD player can play both, but DVD players in many other countries are limited to playing either PAL or NTSC.

the OP finally states that their player supports divx....which means the discs can be burned as data discs (or at least I assume, as I've never owned a player that plays such files)..

I think LOTR's comment about PAL or NTSC may be very valid....

it is possible that if you are downing current releases that the encoding used has changed to a more modern format and your player no longer supports them...

the big thing about a divx player is you can burn a lot of files onto one DVD disc and play them, whereas transcoding the .avi file to a VOB file means you can usually only fit one movie per disc...

since you have Nero I suggest you try to transcode one of the files via the make movie option and convert it to VOB format that should work on all DVD players (as long as it is NTSC or PAL according to your region)

One other possible variable: are you using the same blank disks as before. I've burned DVDs that will not play on Mom's machine but will on other DVD players. Sometimes the difference isn't in the type of disk, but simply the brand.

Mom won't let me buy her a better player. Hers isn't old, it's just cheap.

Hello,
Does your home dvd player support all format/codec ?
Remember that *.avi files can be builded with different codec.
Do you burn just the file you download from limewire or do you burn the dvd like a dvd type ?
Do you try to understand wich codec is inside your movie ? (audio and video)
Download and try gspot for that purpose http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
hope you solve your problem

At the time I bought my original of the brand I have it cost 25% of the big brands but yet could play 'more' than the big brands could ... was not restricted to brand of dvd or other types of media it could play such as mpeg 4/mp3, divx, etc. The definitions of the design were by a local electronic whole-saler who had a company make it specifically under those specifications for them. Amazing huh ... can pay 4 times more for something that has less playability .. designed like that deliberately for marketing reasons. My only complaint is the remote control is not well designed. Just shows you how big brands play with their customers .. customers think because they're paying heaps more they're getting heaps better which in many cases is totally not the case (if you shop around of course.) I shopped around with home made dvd-r's, dvd+r's, dvd-rw's, dvd+rw's, mpeg 4 disks, mp3 disks, etc with me to try out. (Which included home made videos.)
