What are the system requirements to view movies from 2DMovie.com?
Your computer must meet the following system requirements:

Do I need an internet connection to view movies?
No. You need a Broadband or High Speed internet connection only to download the video file and for the license acquisition. First time when you play the file, it will prompt for a license acquisition where you have to make the payment and acquire a license. A dial-up internet connection is sufficient for this license acquisition process. Once you download the movie and acquire a license, you don't need any internet connection to play the video until your license expires.

Can I copy the video file from one computer to another?
You can copy the video file, but cannot copy the license. So you need to acquire a license from the computer where you intend to play the video file. When you copy the video file to a different computer and try to play, it will prompt for a license acquisition, where you can buy a new license for that computer. So it is possible that you can download the file from a computer having broadband connection, copy to your laptop, and acquire a license to play the video file on your laptop through a dial-up connection.

Can I watch the movie on my TV?
You cannot burn a DVD. But you can connect your computer to TV and watch the movie on TV screen. See the below link for details on how to connect your computer to a TV:

Do I need to download the video file again after a license expires?
No. You can play the same video file and acquire a new license. When the license expires, the Windows Media Player will automatically prompt for a new license acquisition.

Will my rental validity period start as soon as I download the movie?
No. Your rental validity period starts only after you acquire a license and click the play button. So you can download in advance and keep your movie file for future viewing.

How long will it take to download a movie?
It depends on your internet connection speed. We recommend atleast a 512Kbps connection to download files from 2DMovie.com. It is normal to take 2 to 3 hours to download a movie of file size 500MB, if you have a 512Kbps internet connection. If you have a higher connection speed, the download time decreases, and vice-versa.

How to watch the movie in full-screen?
While the video is playing, press 'Alt+Enter' to get full-screen view. To quit the full-screen mode, press 'Alt+Enter' again. Also try 'Alt+1' for 50% video size, 'Alt+2' for 100% video size and 'Alt+3' for 200% video size. Make sure you are pressing these key combinations when the video is in play mode and not in pause.

The video is stopping in between...
This happens when you try to play the movie in real-time directly from the web server, when you don't have sufficent internet speed. We always recommend you to first save the video file to your local hard disc as explained in the 'Instructions' page. After saving the file, you can play it locally from your hard disc. Please note that you don't have to make a payment to download the file. You pay only when you play the video file.

I made the payment, and got a page saying 'License Issued'. I pressed the 'Play' button, but I don't see the movie...
This happens when you try to play the movie in real-time by directly clicking the 'Download' button (instead of right-clicking and choosing 'Save Target As'). This is due to a known issue that the background download terminates by the time you purchase a license. To overcome this problem, please close the Windows Media Player and click the 'Download' button once again. This time, you will not be prompted for a license acquisition as you already have one. The movie will start playing right-away.
