Hi
I hope some one can help with a problem I have with downloading films bought on the internet and burning to DVD.

I am downloading films in DVD quality- the file is:
Codec-Divx, Format- .avi,
Bit rate-1562kbps ( some a little lower),
FPS: 29.97, File size is Between 1500-1900.
When they are downloaded the picture seems to be slightly jumpy or jerky, I have used quicktime,VLC and windows media player and all are still jumpy.

If anyone can help I would be very greatfull

Many thanks
 
Are you still downloading other things when you try watching these films? Or is the hard drive being accessed by something else? Usually you need to have nothing else going on to get quality DVD-format playback, especially if you're using an older Mac (i.e. PPC).
 
From where are you downloading them? From the source we could ascertain the defined quality.

Hi
thes have been downloaded from www.filmous.com. which i belive is a new site
as i am new to all this any help would be useful

many thanks

don't trust a site like that. it just looks bad, it probably is bad.

there's nowhere you can buy movies legally for that cheap without something being wrong.

Hi all
Thanks for the info will look else where for downloads. do you know of any sites worth looking at
many thanks
 
iTunes but you can't burn to DVD.

Pretty much no legit download of movies will allow you to burn to DVD.
