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)

No its illegal to do that if its not a home movie.\nIf it is a home movie....\nyou need to acess the moive file that already on your computer or rip the dvd. then you need to find the small clip you want and use a movie editor like windows movie maker to take out that clip. then make a small webpage and stick in the video clip and upload it to your blogging thing site thing thing.

This is not as easy as it should be.  For copyrighted movies, you will need to decrypt it which is probably illegal in the US despite what sounds like a fair use from your description (ask your lawyer).  As to the how...for tools and faqs and walkthroughs go to doom9.org and afterdawn.com.  mpeg2 isn't as popular as mpeg4/divx...it may be that either would work for your purposes so you might want to look at other formats.

So long as you own the original copyies then it is legal to download a copy of it, however please be aware that if you do not own the original then you are violating copyright laws.\n\nI urge the last poster to edit the links, or at least to put a legal disclaimer before you get reported. Its in your interest to do so.\n\nThank You\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

You can find free movies to download at several internet sites. This movies are of public domain.\n\nDownloading copyrighted material is against the law, and even though you can use several programs to download them, you will be breaking the law.

Well, this is probably a bit illegal... But I think you should look into something called "torrents".

They own a copy of the product, but not the product itself.\n\nAnd it's not illegal to download, but it is illegal to upload music, movies, etc.

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\nthese are free programs or programs you can get for less then $30

There is no way to do this.  You can turn you're PC into a T.V. but there still would not be any way for you to download movies onto you're PC.  Sorry

The owner of the copyright decides what royalties it demands. However, I highly doubt that if you contact someone at MGM they are going to negotiate an arrangement with you to download movies on the internet. Are you trying to establish some sort of business?

Legally, you may be able to download the movie at the source below.  If you're looking to get it for free, I believe you're in the wrong place.

There are no websites that will allow you to view new movies for free, they will always get you somehow (either directly charging, ransomeware, or by installing spyware/adware). The only thing you could look at doing is attempting to download it in a torrent or through a peer-2-peer network, although you may be breaking copy right laws depending on what country you live in.
