How do I convert all the movies I downloaded to MP4?

I also was given a tv series on a stick which is in M4V format, how do I get it to a format that will play on a dvd?

AnyVideoConverter is a free program that should do the trick.

How do I convert all the movies I downloaded to MP4?

I also was given a tv series on a stick which is in M4V format, how do I get it to a format that will play on a dvd?

I see this is very old thread..... I use "handbrake" ....insert joke here!

I was using pirate bay up until couple days ago. What's everyone using now? Kickasstorrents?

1337x.org for the most part.

going to try to see if there's a leaked copy of "The Interview" out there tonight.

 

[cdnredneck_t3]

Still use Vuze. I have quit downloading movies that have not been released on DVD. I know of some people who have had notices sent to them tracked back through their IP. Anyone else have something similar happen?

 

[ippielb]

Someone told me that downloading is illegal because your physically making another copy, but streaming the movie try can't do anything about. Take my advice worth of a grain of salt.

A buddy got a notice like that a week ago and it hadn't even downloaded completely. Basically a notice to the provider that one of it's customers has potentially downloaded a movie illegally which he was cc'd on.
This was movie that had just hit theaters. It did not deter him much. He had only partially downloaded it and stopped it because it was taking too long.

I've gotten the emails, stop downloading for a while, then start again.

Basically in the email it suggested that "possibly someone had gained access to my network"...... I go with that

if you find a leaked copy tyler let me know.​

Ya I think it's cause you leave the file on too long. I don't know the tech term. But once u have it downloaded. Clear the file off your utorrent program or what ever ya use. I watch mine close. When it's done I clear it... No more emails

Thx I'll try vuze

I have downloaded a few hundred "torrents" from Piratebay over the last 4-5 years and I have never got a warning or bad files.
Pirate bay was shut down a few days ago but if you google it there is a new version of Pirate bay.

warning would come from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). When I get home I'll see if I still have one in my email.

Kicka$$.to working good

mutliavchd is a good free one to use if you need avchd output for high definition files.


I second the recommendation for avstodvd.


Another useful tool to have on hand is format factory - its kind of a swiss army knife of video converters. Tons of output options and has great input compatibility with different file/codec types.
