help please; how can I preview a video file?
 

OK, hi to everyone in this forum. I want to know how can I preview a movie file before downloading it completely. I can preview my music files before being complete, but the movie files I must wait till they are 100% to view them and although i use Bitzi search and it's great many times it is an unknown bitprint. Is there any way I can preview a fiel before completely being downloaded just for those cases when it's an uknown bitprint. Imagine the time wasted if I deceide to download a file that's unknown bitprint and it results being something I don't want or porn or bad quailty. Anyway atleast I think I learned to post a thread finally rather than send private message this is all new to me.Thanks a lot. Good day.

with some of them you can, others you cant. just click on the file when its downloading and click preview.. make sure you have a program to preview it with. otherwise, if it doesnt wokr, it usually means you simply can't preview it and will have to wait till its completely done downloading before vieiwing it.

thanks Trevor. I have a programs to preview it I think. Like media player, nero showtime, etc. B't doesn't limewire automatically opens it with a program when you click preview. Sory if the ????s is silly his is new to me. TYhanmks again good day.

I think it's called the limewire media player.

yeah when you click preview it will open a media player to play it... but sometimes you just cant preview it. not really sure why...

i think the limewire media player only works for music. i'd recommend getting vlc.. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=VLC

if vlc can't play it, nothing can. :)
