Pretty much any p2p application nowadays will automatically share any data you are downloading. Downloading a movie is illegal, but they nail you mostly for the uploading, so I would stay away from this solution. Plenty of people have been sued, it just isn't worth it.ver0776 said:I only have one argument against Dixv. Encoding time!
Wanna know how I do it? Download them! Pre-encoded by the pros who have no problem making a 700mb movie look just like the original.
Isn't that illegal? Hell no, it is perfectly legal if you own the original. Don't share your movies or you'll be on some news site about how MPAA is cracking down on piracy.
If you accidently *cough* download a few movies you don't own, screen them and determine if they were worth buying, buy the original, or delete it... If you have 500 Divx movies and 430 DVDs backing them up, I consider that pretty upstanding and I think you might still go to heaven.
I still wouldn't go with DivX compression if you are serious about quality, but if you have to, it shouldn't be too hard to automate this process so you can encode a few movies per night, without too much interaction.
