Your Questions About Where Can I Download Old Movies

Mandy asks…

What do I need to download for Quicktime to play videos on my MacBook?

I am trying to play my Sims 3 videos that I took from my game and when I open it up in Quicktime it says I need to download extra things. So I then go to the site and I have downloaded a couple of the ones that pop up, but which ones do I really need? I have no clue!!

By the way I have an Apple computer if you didn’t catch that and it is fairly new and I haven’t really used the Quicktime.

Thanks!!

Nagesh answers:

That depends on the type of file. What is the file name? For example. Something like “filename.mpg” should play directly in QuickTime. Something like “filename.avi” is an old Microsoft media container that lacks pixel aspect ratio info, so it may have a stretched look. It’s been a joke among Apple video developers since its introduction back in 1992. It is still all the rage with “if it ain’t noticeably broke, don’t fix it” thinking folks. You know the ones. They still use floppy diskettes and VGA monitors and may even have DOS installed for dual boot. Something like “Filename.wmv” is Windows Media Video, typically played with Windows Media Player for Mac, first link below. You can also play WMV files with QuickTime after installing Flip4Mac. It comes in a free version that puts an ugly watermark on the movie or a Pro version for U.S. $29 that works great. “Filename.FLV” is Flash video, typically only used embedded in a Web page.

For AVI and FLV files, download and install Perian, second link below.

when putting a video into moviemaker i have a problem with the codec?

when i try to put a video in movie maker, yes the good old movie maker 2.6 i get this box C:UsersownerDocumentsFFOutputDSC_0117.avi could not be imported. The required codec was not downloaded automatically because the Download codecs automatically check box is not selected in the Options dialog box.

i already converted the mov to avi and now i have this problem :'( PLEASE HELP, preferably without downloading any programs

Nagesh answers:

I guess you need to try another converting program which can help you to convert your video files to wmm compatible format wmv, avi, mpg, but provides you coresponding codec as you need. Read the tutorial and evaluate by yourself.

How to download movies to my PS3?

Can you download movies straight onto my PS3? I download them from moviesmobile.net but are poor quality. I don’t have a computer.

Nagesh answers:

I’m not in the mood to do a lot of typing right now but when i am i will come bk and type u a tutorial on how to do it.

EDIT:

*sighs* this is gonna b like writing a damn essay, h8 it but here goes…

This 1 is the old one i did, way outdated now tho, lol
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110702042111AAav0y7

-Option 1
Download the YouTube & Crackle App from the PS Store like the other answer said.
Or use them in the browser with
http://ps3youtube.com
http://www.crackle.com/ps3
or
http://www.crackle.com/ps3/ShowGuide.aspx?pid=82&usePageCookie=false&skin=SD

-Option 2
http://divxcrawler.com/ <<< good for downloading but they didnt used to keep it up2date & at some point they started using MKV instead of AVI
http://newmyvideolinks.com/ <<File Type>File Host Site like “The Matrix AVI rapidshare” as u cant select file type or hosting sites on google

however u might not want to use rapidshare as they remove movies a lot lately & i really cant bother to check what file hosting site is worth using right now, they are all listed on the left where u would select rapidshare tho so try until u find a good 1.

I think i covered most of it.

Hope all this makes sense to u, GL.

How old do you have to be to make a Zune account?

I just bought a 8GB Zune and I want to know how old do you have to be to make a Zune account. Also do you need the account to redeem a Microsoft points card. Please be specific and thanks.

Nagesh answers:

Must be 13 to set up a zune account. You do need the account to redeem a points card as you need the account to download required software for the zune and your computer.

Two options are available for zune accounts.

Option 1 – Pay a monthly fee which varies depending on the amount of videos and music desired and get to download all the music and movies you want under that plan. Bad part is that you never really own them and if you quit paying your membership they are locked by microsoft and go away.

Option 2 – Pay per Download which i think is best as you actually own the music.

Joseph asks…

If i download a movie from itunes that ive already bought, will it cost again?

I download a movie from itunes on my old computer for something like £10, ive recently got a laptop and was wondering if i downloaded the movie i on my laptop, will i be charged again for the purchase?

Nagesh answers:

When logged into the iTunes Store, click on the Store TAB.

Then, choose “Activate this computer”.

Then, when you “sync” your iPod, it will download your movie again for free, as well as everything else you ever purchased from iTunes.
