Question Posted Friday July 31 2009, 8:02 pm

I leave for a trip to California in about a week, and I would like to be able to watch movies on the plane ride there and home.

How can I put movies onto my zune for free? I would like if I could just download them from a site, preferably not a torrent or a .rar file. Considering I can't use those two when I download music, hah. If you can't offer a site to download for FREE, in a .zip folder or something along those lines but know how to put a movie from a DVD onto the computer that would be extremely appreciated also.

Thank you in advance.

There is no site that will allow you to download free movies directly; it's illegal and they would be shut down. Just use torrents. I use btjunkie.org for finding torrents.

If you can't get a bittorrent program to work, ImageShack will, for free, download up to 10GBs (about 14 movies) of torrents for you and then allow you to download them directly via HTTP. An account is required to see this tool.

To rip DVDs, use DVDFab HD Decrypter (free) to get the raw VOB files:

Then (optionally), make those giant VOB files smaller with AutoGK:

Convert movies to work on the Zune with MediaCoder:

Install the program, add the movies you want to convert, click "extension", and then "Zune".
