Your most likely just missing the codex to play said files.\ngo here to get K-lite pack should fix\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm\nA tip for others the K-lite installer removes bad codex's\nhandy to have if things stop playing the way the should\n\nAlso I use windows classic player\nfor the odd file types .mkv .orm\nme and my kids watch a lot of jap amines\nyou can get that one here\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm\n\na tip is you may want to stay away from torrents where the file type says "Bin Cue" that's a different extraction proses so a straight avi while bigger is just easier to grab

Mridu - I want to remind you that downloading movies is illegal and may carry fines as high as $10,000 depending on the country in which you are located. Most file sharing is done using peer-to-peer networks. Due to the architecture of the peer-to-peer networks, it allows an external party (like an investigator) to see your IP address and what you are downloading. This is applicable to the copyrighted movies and videos.\n\nHaving said that, to answer the question, most downloaders download movies using something known as Bittorrent. Bittorrent is also a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. To do this, first you have to download and install a client. I recommend the following clients:\nhttp://www.utorrent.com\nhttp://azureus.sourceforge.net/\n\nNow you need a .torrent file from some site to start the download. Every video and every download has a .torrent file associated to that. This file is meta-data (ie it tells your client who all has this file). You have to download the .torrent file associated with the video you are downloading and then open this .torrent file with the Bitorrent client you installed. The .torrent files can be found from popular torrent search sites. Some of them are:\nhttp://www.tmstorrents.com (Indian)\nhttp://www.ccmtorrrents.com (Indian)\nhttp://www.torrentportal.com (English)\nhttp://www.torrentspy.com (English)

East Peasy.\n\n\n\nWhat you need to do is properly extract a media player that functions properly with these files such as vlc or winamp and then install the files to your pc directly.\n\nBasically you need to extract the file to your desktop do a search at google for these media players thats part one of the plan to watch it as vlc media player can play any sort of media file available to you on the web.\n\nThen do another search for a couple illegal file sharing programmes called bitlord or or bitcommet and then download one of them and then basically after that extract them download the files and try a few torrent sites such torrentspy.com and isohunt or go to www.p2pforums.com and they can give you a list of sites to use one you download a torrent client which has every file on the web including films you won't have much trouble finding the file your looking for..

once you have it installed you need to find some torrents to download.\n\nwww.piratebay.org is a good start, or www.btjunkie.org . Search for something you like, and then download and open the torrent. Tell utorrent where you want to save the file, and off you go.

Pop the DVD into your comp....look at the file extensions for the video files....i forget what some of them are.  then google "[extension] to .avi converter"\nfor example, if the extension is .abc then you'd googe ".abc to .avi converter"\nYou'll find ones you might have to pay for, but there are free converters.  I guess you want avi so you can edit them or cut scenes out and make something out of the eps?\nIf your going to just view them, no real need to bust your balls(or boobs) to convert...

A lot of videos distributed on LimeWire are distributed by people who hope you will buy a license to view their content. Those WMV files are protected by Digital Rights Management -- DRM -- so the only way to view them is to purchase a license, or download spyware / malware that will grant you a license in exchange for feeding you ads, stealing your information, etc.\n\nIn re: the codecs issue you are having with AVIs, get the program GSpot:\n\nhttp://www.headbands.com/gspot/\n\nIt can tell you what codec is used in what video file.\n\nGenerally speaking, if you have Divx and XVid installed, most AVI files will play on your PC. You could also get the Nimo codec pack, which contains most of the codecs used in the last few years:\n\nhttp://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

The AVI format has more that one codec (coder/decoder) available for it.  You are probably trying to open a file in the newer DIVX codec, which uses the AVI extension but is different then the codec shipped with Windows.  Go to divx.com and you can download the lastest version of the divx codec (plus a divx players) for free.

I use limewire, and sometimes ares. they are both very good and sometimes will return different results. I just use whatever returns the results i want. however if i am looking for movies or games, i use azureus, which is a torrent downloader.

try getting a free copy of VLC media player. it will play just about anything there is, or look for the codecs for avi and the type of mpeg you are trying to play on line, download them and put them in the codec foldae in windows media player

It is a compressed file with other readable files existing in it. You need software such as utorrent or Azeures to open and download them.\n\nIt is mostly used in P2P downoads.\n\nIs that enough ?\nTo know more go to www.torrentbox.com\n\nPlease choose mine as BEST ANSWER.\n<mathai.thegreat@yahoo.co.in>

if it is an .avi file, you will need to download the divX codec, or even the divX player. Download, install, and watch your movie - that easy\n\nhttp://www.divx.com/divx/windows/

It might be that the file has an error, I have burned a lot of xvid movies decoded to dvd format using nero Visio, and only a couple of times, and it was because the file was corrupted, I would advice that you download the movie again from a different source.

The TORRENT file is just a file that keeps track of all the bits and pieces of a file. ( pun intended )\n\nThe actual sites do NOT have the files you want, just the torrent files you can use to retrieve them.\n\nMany LEGITIMATE places use Torrents for their downloads. Most LINUX distributions do. Places like The Pirate Bay and Torrentspy do not sort out the torrents they have.\n\nDownloading is NOT ILLEGAL.

Just calm down, ok!

Go to the utorrent or bitlord websites and it might be possible to download it from someone.  you have to dowload some software first but its good for downloading all sorts.
