so i downloaded this: [md]lotr-return of the king-ts-logistic.divx_xtech
how do i now make it a watchable movie. when i try to play it in media player its just a blank screen.
i have downloaded some other movies and the same thing happens.
i tried reading the other movie thread in this forum and had no comprehension
where should i go for movies? what do i need to know?
i tried newsgroups but there is nothing there.
who watches full length movies on their computer? GEEKS!!!
whatever mr. too cool for school
i plan to burn them on to dvd's
oh, in that case, cool!!!!
go here

download the VLC Player
Use that to view the movie - it should work.
You should also use VLC to play ALL of your movie files, since it pretty much plays everything.
Why? (Not arguing, just curious.)
And i hope you realize you cant burn some movie files without converting the formats.
I was gonna tell him he's in for a chore if he can't even watch a movie... converting divx to mpeg1 isn't that hard, but c'mon he couldn't even play the damn thing.

because it's a simple yet eefective media player - and like I said, it plays pretty much anything I throw at it.
It also plays .iso files - no need to burn it to a CD, which comes in very handy.
I can appreciate that, but I prefer a bit more control over my movies.
Also, check out ISO Buster so you can stop burning VCDs.
It pauses, fast forwards, rewinds, gives me screen shots, etc. - I'm not sure how much more power you need over your movies, but to each his own.
I use Isobuster, bot sometimes it works, other times I get errors - I've uninstalled/reinstalled it and used different versions, but its always touch and go.
