If it's a newer, higher-end model, it probably will. If not, you'll have to convert the file into a DVD-video file, and even then the disc may not play in your DVD player. They're kinda finicky. I use the WinAVI Media Converter, a google search should get you a copy. It's pretty straightforward. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 69 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Speaking of torrents, where are good places to get them? I've been using the BitTorrent program and DLing things from thepiratebay.org, are there other good sites that work with BitTorrent? Link to post Share on other sites

But that's a bit more advanced for the average user, I think.I even stopped using Demonoid eventually because of it. Now I'm on a completely private tracker and don't have to worry about anything, plus it's faster. Link to post Share on other sites

dna4ever 2 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 downloading movies and music and even tv shows off the internet through torrents is illegal and will result in the FBI knocking down your doorgo pay the $10 - $20 and avoid paying $20K+ for a lawyer later, having a felony on your record, etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 you gotta talk to me like a 2 year old. what's the deal with private trackers? I really don't wanna give any real personal info.Public trackers are your sites like Piratebay and Mininova, and use DHT.DHT is an addition to certain BitTorrent clients that allows them to work without a tracker. What this means is that your client will be able to find peers even when the tracker is down, or doesn't even exist anymore. It allows the swarm to continue as normal without a tracker. You can also host torrents without a tracker.DHT is also how companies like the RIAA track you down. Peer Guardian, that I linked above, helps in avoiding this situation - but nothing is foolproof, much like wearing a condom. Private trackers mean that the sites, the torrents, and the files are all on an invite-only basis - there is no use of DHT or Peer Exchange - and it's usually a lot faster.

But if I hypethetically did download I'm pretty sure there's no FBI in Canada and the RCMP ain't coming by. Link to post Share on other sites

coesillian 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 mininova is a good torrent site but torrentz.com searches a bunch of torrent sites and tells you the seed/leecher ratio for each, very useful for less popular torrents that you're looking for.thepokerbay.org is excellent for HSP and all other poker torrents but you can't use bitcomet with them, you need azeurus(don't know if utorrent works with thepokerbay.)Oh and for porn the absolute best place to go is empornium.us . It's amazing the flow of porn that goes through there, you have to maintain a respectable up/down ratio with them tho, believe me it's worth it. It may be a sister site of the other one mentioned, thumbs way up anyways.I always avoid private trackers but I think you get better speeds through them, I never had the need to join one, it may have its advantages but it isn't crucial.make sure you don't go over your dl/ul limits that your provider may have on you internet account. They charge a rate per meg after and you could end up with a heafty bill at the end of the month. Downloading isn't leagaly wrong in Canada, just morally.EDIT: forgot about the question at hand. You're probably going to want to convert your avi to DVD format to then be able to burn it. It's hard to get a good tool to convert avi to dvd. I think nero does it but I can't figure it out. The easiest and with decent results is dvdSanta. Simple to use and takes about 75% of the time of the movie to convert it. IT can then burn it for you but I've trouble with that part of the program so use another program to burn the new version the movie wich is in dvd format and about 4 gigs. I use nero express to burn the dvd file onto dvd. To make copy of a dvd that you OWN, I use dvdshrink that bypasses the protection features of the dvd and makes acopy on your comp that you can then burn onto a dvd, but Ihavn't had the need to do that is while and I forget the procedure.

I imagined a response post a full page deep with links. oh the hilarity that could've been.lol I don't download much porn, sadly. And when I do, I don't torrent it.I get laid often enough, so really the only time I want porn is if I'm in the mood for something of a different flavor (black on blonde, shemale, etc.) and I just rub one out to mini clips I find around the web.Nice try, though Link to post Share on other sites

Just compressed files (think of it like Zipped files)You need WinRar to unpack em.http://www.rarlab.com/Download and install it. They should now look like a small stack of books.Right click on the very first one, and then click "Extract Here." Once it's done extracting, refresh the folder and you should now see the actual files at the top of the folder.Good lord you're a newbie Link to post Share on other sites
