How come i cant get windows movies to download of the internet. every other type of movie downloads just not windows media player. it opens and then does nothing.
What format are they in? There are any number of reasons why they may not work, not the least of which if you're getting off of torrents, they may be DRMed or just plain broken. More info is necessary though.
they probably are illegal movies and someone doesnt know codec issues which is funny....at least if ur gonna illegally download the movie buy it on dvd and make ur own legal back up....well my two cents sorry for the spam
Well DRMed movies on bittorrent are really a form of spam - you download the movie and are expected to buy a license to watch it. It's just another reason to stay away from torrent and P2P and that crap.
they are not illegal download movies, they are just trailers on sites but they neveropen, and they used to.
You can try using GSpot to figure out what codec they use and then just download and install the required codecs. It helps to have a decent player like Media Player Classic or VLC. You can install one of those monster codec packs like K-Lite codec pack. If you do, I recommend using the Mega codec pack from www.codecs.com. Some people say these are overkill and can slow down a system, though I've never had problems on countless installations.
