I am a total n00b at downloading video. But there is a
documentary I'd like to acquire from some sites that use
Bittorrent. I only have dialup so I don't even know
if it's practical. The doc. is called The Power of Nightmares
from BBC by Adam Curtis.
But BBC says it's have this big problem making a dvd release.
That leaves BitTorrent for getting a version for personal
use.
How does the d/l handle formatting? If the doc. was
done in European Pal format, will the BitTorrent d/l
make something like a vcd file from the source? I'm
wanting to make it playable on a zone 1 dvd system or
run it through a laptop w/projector hookup.
