Free Movies - Getting them to play on your DVD player
Your downloaded movie can be in one of many different types of format. Some examples are DivX, Xvid, mpeg, svcd, VOB.Formats like DivX and Xvid are designed to compress a DVD movie into a much smaller file (about one sixth the size) for easier downloading, but they are only for viewing on a PC.
You will need to either connect your PC to your television to watch the movie, Well, you will need to convert the file into a format that can be played on a standard DVD player.
You can convert the file to DVD format. Can take quite a long time, but will obviously work on all DVD players.
You can convert the file to VCD format. Very quick and easy to do if you have the right software. All most all DVD players will also play a VCD.
There is a better quality format for VCD call SVCD. Unfortunatly, support for this format is nowhere near as popular with DVD players. About 1 in 3 players will play SVCD's.
I have seen (and purchased) a DVD player that played all of the above, as well as Divx files as well.
You can get the software and tools you need to convert and burn your downloaded file from places like the Free Movies Homepage.
So say's Gadoonga.
