WHICH ONE? lol

 

[Mark One]

thats not a file extension.

Are the .ISO or .daa or .avi or what?

open my docs (or any windows explorer window)
Go Tools>folder opt>View Tab> and uncheck "hide extensions for know file types.

Now look at the files you've downloaded and tell us what they are

ROO file

 

[Mark One]

right that is the little file. They are normally bundled in with the download but they are just information files telling you the dimentions of the film itself etc.

You will have another file (much much larger) anything from 600mb to 4.7GB (depending on what you downloaded). Whats the file extension of that file?

Need to extract with WinRar

 

[Dave_W]

Use VLC media player,just about everything plays with that.

Plays everything

 

[Mark One]

ah right ROO file?

 

[Mark One]

Yeah you need WINRAR. Not sure if it's free but it certinally has free trials

 

[Mark One]

http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

It's like a ZIP file only better.
Once you have extracted it. Tell us what files you have then

 

[eugegall]

yea. roo file mate. and another film is divX

 

[eugegall]

its downloaded. what do i do now mate?

 

[Mark One]

divx player is easy: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/download/

and the ROO file needs to be un"RARed" with WINRAR http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

 

[eugegall]

ok the divX one is working and playing but the other ROO one i cant get too work??

 

[Mark One]

OK. HAVE YOU USED WINRAR YET AS I SUGGESTED???

like i said. It's an archive (like a zip file) and it contains the video inside. You have to use winrar to extract it.
Download winrar and use it


sorry, i got stressed there for a min

 

[eugegall]

i downloader winrar how do i now do the other bit? thanks by the way mate

 

[Mark One]

you have to install winrar.

Then right click the ROO file and click extract to....

then select where you want the contents of the archive (the film) to go

You can tell Tim uses a Mac. No-one using a PC would recommend QT on a PC lol. Talking about locking up a machine.
