Help! Help! Help!

Anybody,

Please, please help an innocent, niave, inexperienced lad like myself to download a few films and somehow get them onto a VCD.

No honestly, I need some absolute idiot proof coaching of how to get any of the millions of films I can find onto a VCD.

This is what I know:

1) Download a film (normally an avi) which can take anything upto 30 hours - is this normal?????

2) Use some software to burn it onto a CD - is this right??

See, I wasn't lying.

Does any kind soul feel they can help me?

Cheers!

as for the time taken to download a film, it depends on what connection you have and what is the size of the film

for example, a 700MB film on a 56k (dial-up) connection should take about 40 hours

a 700MB film on 512k adsl should take about 5 hours

Thanks.

I've got a 512 broadband connection but the download speeds just seem very slow.

I can get MP3s a lot quicker (upto 50 or 60 Kbps)

I'll keep trying!
