705937 2008-09-17 07:16:00 What is the name of the video you have downloaded?

As per forum rules, no help will be given with pirated software, and this includes movies. Unless you can convince me this is not an illegal/pirated video, this thread will be locked.

Thanks.

705938 2008-09-17 09:20:00 As I understand it, Vista and media player 11 won't allow you to play anything you don't have permission for, its called DRM and caused an awfull lot of fuss as Vista was rolled out and its the main reason most of us are sticking with XP. So, I;m afraid that Mininova isn't going to provide you with much fun, either buy your movies or find a copy of XP. limepile (96)

The problem lies in codecs. Microsoft, like Sony, believe they can enforce you to do whatever they want by introducing such things as DRMs.
You, as the end user, have choices. Continue using crappy software made by giant "big brother" corporations, or use other software that also enable you to install the correct codecs to be able to see and hear such "files".

One such application is VLC (google will help (www.google.com))

Or use Linux. But for the average joeblow Windows user, install VLC
