Need Help with New Zune

4mike · 01-02-2008, 03:59 PM

Hi, I am setting up my brother-in-laws new Zune for him and I have a couple of questions.
1. I have looked at a couple of DVD Converters for him. The one I am thinking about going with is Avex. Seems pretty idiot proof and the trial output was decent.
2. Can someone point me to a site where I can download movies for his Zune? I am not looking for any p2p or illegal, but straight pay sites similar to what ITunes has.
Neither my sister or bro-in-law are good with computers. Actually they both are REALLY bad with them, so the easier the better.
Thank You for any help!!

I can't say that I know any good converters but I've heard some things about cucusoft.

1.I would recommend DVD-WMV it is a legal and free converter.
2. There are really no places online to get legal DRM free movies, sorry.

checkout handbrake.

Cucusoft is good, thats what i use. As far as downloading movies go, your not gonna find a place that is non p2p, u always have to connect to one of their networks which all seem alike. Get netflix or somthing for movies.

I would definitely use HandBrake (with either AnyDVD or 43). It's the only thing I use, and for the most part, it works like a charm!

I used to use Cucusoft, but it always 'smeared' my movies about ever 15 minutes.

hmm cucusoft hasnt ever smeared my videos... but handbrake is also free so definitely give that a try first. as for movies, the easiest way is to sign up for netflix.

sounds like exactly what you're looking for!

Wait... Marketplace. Free. Aren't those conflicting words? Or am I missing out on something by never visiting that section of the InturWebz?

Edit: 'pay sites'. Nevermind
