Need Some Downloads

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 17:46

Right, so I been ripping my DVD library to my HDD (arduous task too) as it takes forever to do with all our movies. Anyways, naturally, I own some on Blu-ray and those can't be ripped by your common ol DVD drive Sad

So I was wondering, if anybody knows where to get (not as a torrent mind you and preferable .m4v format):

-Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3
-Hancock
-Aeon Flux
-10 000 BC
-Sanctuary Season 2

Also, it would be a bonus if they were HD (720p will do) but if not, they can't be any lower than DVD quality SD.

Thanks if anyone can help Smile

The best thing I can tell you to do. Very Happy

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:04

I don't see anything there relating to blu-rays or movies...

by **JPB18** 2011-03-05, 18:06

Just read the whole thing... It says how to rip blu-ray discs...

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:07

I tell you, there's nothing on blu-ray, hell, I opened up the word find and typed in blu-ray and it didn't find anything on the page. It's just a whack of different articles, top comedy video, cab took off with your laptop etc

This is what I get from that link...

Not what I get. This is what I get:

I know why now... You're seeing the Cannadian website... try to go to the international one...

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:20

And I now now why. Because my Gizmodo redirects to the Canadian one (ca.gizmodo.com)

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:21

Oh. you and i posted the same time Razz

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:23

1 reason pops out as to why this method won't work. The software is only a trial, after 21 days or something like that, it don't work, so what happens when I buy something a month from now?

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:23

And you'd need a blu-ray drive

true

xD

But just go to the international and u should have no problemo Very Happy

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:30

I did and then read my two posts above yours.

So basically....anybody know where to download these movies?

by **JPB18** 2011-03-05, 18:33

You just unnistall it, clear the registry with something like CCleaner, and install it again... If you can't install it, it's because this guys did a decent work with that xD

but hey, at least you can back up the ones you have now, or, you could start downloading them from legal sources...

I guess we're 2 much synced up with our post timing :S

Ok (hoping you don't post while I write this), you'd better go torrent then... It's one of the fastest ways to download them... And it's not exactly illegal, if you remember that torrent is a legal protocol...

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:39

Yeah yeah I know, I already own the movies so I don;t care about illegally downloading a digital copy. But torrents and I don't work. We just don't. I like straight up download. Send me a direct link and I'll love you to the end of time, send me a torrent and I'll probably burn your village down

by **JPB18** 2011-03-05, 18:41

That might be hard *hears the sound of a thunder coming from dozens of weapons in the street*...

Poor guy... I hope it doesn't die...

But back on topic...

For that... Use Google Very Happy

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:48

Yeeah, hard to find when you do it that way. It's just with torrents they never work (that and my understanding them is very primitive) and they're virus laced and adware infected and even on my handy dandy Mac, I would be... concerned to attempt to use a torrent for fear of infection

by **JPB18** 2011-03-05, 18:51

Mac being infected by viroses... Shame on you DW Razz

And torrents on itself don't have viroses... Only if you find a .bat or .exe file in there...

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 18:52

Well... anyone care to explain how to use a torrent and what you need and all that stuff?

by Philly Homer 2011-03-05, 19:12

You just need a torrent program. For many it's utorrent. Just go to isohunt or pirate bay and search for what you want to download. Download it, wait for it to finish, right click the thing you downloaded and click "Open Containing Folder." And there you have it

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-05, 19:19

Yeah, JPB has been walking me through in the chat, I'm attempting to download Sanctuary, so let's hope this works

by Shemuel 2011-03-05, 19:27

Yarr!

No, I'm not actually saying anything about your morals, because you already own the film. However, if torrents don't work out try www.moviewatch.in

Torrenting is stupid. It's gonna take 4 days to download a 4 gig file. That's just retarded cause I directly download a 4 gig file in maybe 6 hours or so

by Philly Homer 2011-03-06, 02:43

Honestly, torrenting is based on popularity. The more people downloading and seeding, the faster it is. If something's obscure, your best bet is to just direct download.

by Shemuel 2011-03-06, 08:51

Well, I think there are many things affecting DW's download. All I can say is that it can be very fast and usually is for other people. However, it is the amount of bad luck with the variables that is slowing it down for DW.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-06, 09:32

On the plus side, overnight it must've gotten a new wind and has downloaded ~80% now Smile

by **JPB18** 2011-03-06, 10:32

As I tell you... Torrent protocol, somehow, gets some speed boost during the night... I guess it's when they left the firewalls to sleep Very Happy

(They the ISP's XD)

by Vedic 2011-03-06, 21:37

Well it's generally easier to download anything at 3am, then Prime time.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-07, 01:48

Well...that was a waste of time. There's no sound that I can tell and each episode is plastered with the Syfy logo on the bottom right and whatnot. So all in all, deleting.

by **JPB18** 2011-03-07, 07:42

That's weird... I've sound on my download :S I guess you need to codecs for that, but also... I think Macs already had those built-in...

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-07, 10:04

NVM, it played with VLC fine, but it still has the Syfy logo which sucks. I was kinda hoping for a DVD version or something where there was no logos. Sad

If somebody finds a copy, let me know (this is Sanctuary Season 2 BTW)
