    you can now download movies legally thru services like vongo. I do not have the connections to watch these on my tv from my computer. So before I get the service I wanted to know if it is possible to put these movies on a disk to watch in my dvd/tv. I am not sure but I think they might be protected from being transfered in any way.

    Some services have proprietary "burning software" that burns a copy-protected DVD. In essence, it's like you bought the DVD, but you received it through a download, and supplied your own blank. I have not used this, and the software is, no doubt, very spyware-ish by necessity.

    I just checked Vongo's site and was prompted to download Internet Exploer 7, which indicates that Vongo isn't too big on customer security. Big red flag there. Worse still, according to their Terms of Service, it would appear that any content you buy is locked to s single device so, no, you probably can't put it on disk.

    make sure that you read the user agreament for vongo and that will tell you what you can or can not do, the last time i looked at it it said that you could not, it may have been revised so, just make sure that you read ok? good luck happy burning have a nice day.
