What format are they in? There are any number of reasons why they may not work, not the least of which if you're getting off of torrents, they may be DRMed or just plain broken. More info is necessary though.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Well DRMed movies on bittorrent are really a form of spam - you download the movie and are expected to buy a license to watch it. It's just another reason to stay away from torrent and P2P and that crap.

You can try using GSpot to figure out what codec they use and then just download and install the required codecs. It helps to have a decent player like Media Player Classic or VLC.

You can install one of those monster codec packs like K-Lite codec pack. If you do, I recommend using the Mega codec pack from www.codecs.com. Some people say these are overkill and can slow down a system, though I've never had problems on countless installations.
