A movie playing software?




Posted by Crazy K

I recently got high speed internet and would love to start downloading movies and watching them, but I don't have a program that will let me watch a video. So is there some kinda "free" program I can download so I can watch the movies right on my computer?

Do you mean 'cinema' movies? If you want to watch them, you'll have to download them using a file-sharing program, which is illegal.

If you just mean video clips, you don't need a program to 'download' them. Just install WIndows Media player or some other Video player, find a video on google that you want to watch, download it, and open with the media player.

VLC Media Player is probably the best of its type.

As for downloading full-length movies, read up on BitTorrent and check around at TorrentScrape.

I use Ares to download full length movies, it only takes around 20 or so minutes on my computer.

Will that be able to play full lentgh movies? I recently downloaded the Descent and would like to watch it.

Yeah, I usually don't catch movies in theaters like I would like to so either I could wait for the DVD release or download it. I will also download indie, and Limited Released films.

Depending on what you downloaded, Windows Media Player will play most things. It should have come with your machine - no need to download anything special.

I tried Windows Media player, and It never worked for me, so I just downloaded VLC. It works greatly.
