    you pay for Lime wire ( and Lime-wire pro )

    So asuming you payed for it, it should be legal.

    Try hitting the g-spot, it'll tell you what codec is needed to play the file

    Ok I downloaded it and I don't know how to apply it to the movie. Well I don't know how to really use it...

    I've been able to put the first 1/2 into quicktime but it's different. the audio seems 100% fine but the video is non-existent. It says it doesent have it. What do I do?

    P.S. I know I'm asking a lot here but does anyone have limewire so they could understand what I'm talking about?

    Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?

    92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..

    Limewire is just a way of sending files; it has absolutely nothing to do with playback issues.

    You should download G-Spot, as someone here suggested. That will tell you what software you need. Here's the link for G-Spot:

    Most likely you need Divx or Xvid. There's no reason not to download both. Here's a link for the Divx codec:

    http://www.divx.com/divx/play/

    And here's a link for Xvid:

    http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

    P.S.: Strictly speaking, there is no legal way to acquire movies on Limewire. However, when a film has not been released in your country, and there is no information on whether or not the film will ever be distributed, it's not unethical to check Limewire. Since the poster was asking about downloading a foreign film with subtitles, it's probably safe to assume he is within the moral right, if not the legal.

    Only for the pro version (or else I need to go and check wether all my money is still there). And I don't think you can legally download movies from it, as it's a filesharing thingy, so you're simply getting them from other users without paying for them.

    Well, you can also get Limewire Pro for free as well.
