BitTorrent Video Download Store Falls Flat
seriously writes "We've all heard about BitTorrent going legit this week with legal movie and TV show downloads. Ars Technica took a look at the service to see how usable it was and ran into a few snags, including not being able to download or even open the video files on some computers. However, the ones that they did manage to open varied a lot in quality. Overall, they blame DRM: 'Without knowing whether browser compatibility and dysfunctional video files are a rare occurrence or not, it's hard to say whether BitTorrent's service is a good one overall. Our initial experiences have been disappointing and frustrating, and guess what the culprit is once again? DRM. Why the DRM failed to work on 50% of our purchases is not clear, but whatever the cause, it's simply unacceptable.'"
you must be new here
You have no chance to survive make your time.
HA HA HA HA HA
No shit man, this has got to stop. I installed Windows Media Player 11, and my laptop display exploded in a puff of orange smoke. Then I installed iTunes, and my hard drive melted into a puddle of metal that burned a hole through my desk and set my pants on fire. Someone must do something!
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
The movie I tried (Broken Arrow) worked and the quality was fine.
If you are trying to tell me the quality of the movie, "Broken Arrow," was acceptable, I have to call BS. I don't think you ever watched it.
