some help from you mac die hards -
May 18th, 2002, 01:58 AM
hello everybody
can some mac dude help me with this problem! I just started to download movies with limewire and downloaded a divX player and stuff. So i can watch the movies but the quality sucz big time, i can't even see anything and that isn't because the movies are bad, cause i downloaded a lot! The divx player says i should have Windows media player 6.3 but i can only find 7 or later to download. this probably sounds really complicated, but if you are downloading films on your mac can you show me what i have to do?? thanx |

hi, it looks like you're a newbie, so let me try to be simple
1- Download the movie using limewire or similar (like eDonkey or Sputnix) But be sure that the download is completed. It should be over 600meg for a complete movie, but it differs. Compare with this LIST !!! 2- Most movies are compressed using divx format, meaning that you need DIVX CODEC FOR MAC to see the movie. 3- Once you got the codec install, you can use any media player that supports .avi extention. Try WindowsMedia 7.1 or WindowsMedia 7.1 for OS X 4- You shouldn't have any problem, remember... that quality is not the same from movie to movie, and it'll never be like a DVD. But most movies have reasonable quality. 5- If you don't see anything, it's most probably the codec, but also your machines SPEED is important. OTHER TIPS - try other mediaplayers - try other codecs, check this link for windowsmediaplayer :http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ad/default.asp - check this site http://www.divxmovies.com, read the FAQ, LINKS - i dunno, hope this helps . |

Go to versiontracker.com and just look for divx. There are a number of programs available that make avi's playable with Quicktime. You don't have to use WMP. Personally I had good experiences with avi2mov, divxdoctor and vlc. Just fool around with it and see what works for you. Btw, the upcoming Quicktime 6 should be able to play avi instantly. Check the apple site for it.
Good luck |
