Is it possible to buy already converted movies that can be downloaded from a dvd or hard drive to save having to go through the process of converting yourself. There seemed to be a lot for sale at one time on ebay but not now. Is that a legal issue and if not are there any suggestions of companies that sell them. Thanks.

I am not aware of any Video-On-Demand service that sells mainstream stuff and uses something like DivX, though CinemaNow comes close with it's FluxDVD downloads. But that's really just a compressed DVD and you still need to convert and burn if you want to watch it on disc, and you have copy-protection to overcome if you want a backup. And then there's the potential spyware issues...

Somebody else?

-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.
