So I just joined rapidshare, and I'm a mac user. I can rarely find movies online that I can actually play on my computer. I was hoping you could tell me of a program that I can use to watch them. Thanks. |

Hey Kanzen. Thanks for all the help. As I'm sure it is obvious, I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to mac software. A lot of other people have been much less helpful when it comes to me asking any questions. So I appreciate it. |

great thread Kanzen. I've had my imac about 8 months now and I'm still learning. I use "toast" for burning dvd and cds etc. It makes it soo easy. Right click any movie file and "toast it" and the program does the rest. I also use Azureus Vuse for my bittorrent app. |
