What's a "torrent movie"? µT simply downloads (and uploads) packets from many different sources (seeders and leechers) and puts them together. It doesn't know or care whether it's a movie, a picture, a software program, or whatever. Given that, does your old Mac have the appropriate codecs to play the movie? I'm sure that somewhere, someplace in the vast internet there exist many sites that have the codecs you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciscokid Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Sorry about not using the right terminologies. No my old Mac doesn't have the appropriate codecs. The ones that I found online, all required a Mac with an Intel Processor . Hopefully a Mac person might know the answer.This is greek to me and I feel like a dinosaur.

I think the time has arrived to upgrade your Mac. If Macs are what you're into, unfortunately it's going to cost you (PC's, as you know, are much cheaper). Many people (not referring to you) don't understand that in the computer world, upgrading is an unavoidable fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
