download divx movies?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: vietguy
is there any file sharing program out there that we can only download divx movies? i am using kazaa lite, TMD movies are easy to download but divx movies are hard, it's like taking forever to download one divx movie.

There is no program dedicated to one particular type of file, but give Bit Torrent a try, you will have a much easier time.

TMD is horrible quality! And Kazaa is so full of fakes that it's unreal.
Go to Phoenix-torrents.com and look in their s/kvcd section. I bet you'll find it to your liking. BitTorrent is were file sharing is at right now, jump on the train.

@Broken he asked for divx movies, you do know that s/kvcd is something else? :P

He's still using kazaa lite, and downloading those crappy TMD movies. If you're gonna download a movie like that it's best to have it in a format that is usable with a dvd play. Divx is good quality, but unless you have a divx player you can't watch them on you're dvd play.
I was thinking outside the box. If he is hell bent on Divx, there is also a divx section there with all the same moves.

Yes, you can.

beside seeing that he's downloading tmds I'm guessing he has a slow connection, so divx would be the way to go quality - time wise.

Yes, you can.
So you're saying that you can play divx on a dvd player that does not have an divx endorsement? Which player do you have? I'd like to check it out with a compatiblilty list I found.

I'll be getting one of those in the next week, fed up of encoding everything. It seems they are difficult to get in the UK, well the UK equivalent (http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/catalog/product.jsp?language=en&country=GB&catalogType=CONSUMER&productId=DVP630_05_GB_CONSUMER) that is, plus they are £90 (~ $165)
Do you know of anywhere that will ship here? Even with the shipping it's bound to be a big saving.

Don't forget you'll have to convert to 110 volts too.

No wonder I wasn't getting any answers. I hadn't considered that, cheers lynx :rolleyes:
I guess I'll pick one up in Argos the next time I'm there - I need some new bling anyway.

110? Not 240v?
Just had a look, cheapest one at Argos is 60 quid.

Argos in the UK now stock two models that play DivX, which probably means they play XViD too.
Phillips

Goodmans

Amazon.co.uk do a couple of models (search for divx):
Medion

Thanks for that, much :D
I probably will buy the one in Argos but it is always good to have a look around so I do appreciate the links. Btw, I thought DivX and XviD were exactly the same, just written differently to appear 1337. Not so?

Xvid is different, it's supposed to be better quality - size wise I think...
They don't get points for originality though.

I've just bought a Yamada 6600 since it didn't require me moving (or thinking)
Thanks, JP. Also to everyone else who posted advice :D
