[d_goddard]

ok i downloaded the file, but i don't know how to open it. my mac says it can't open the file. i'm completely lost here, since i don't even know what an ISO file is...?

To watch it on your computer, you can try
http://www.videolan.org/

Any DVD-burning software (Nero, or google for "Free DVD Burner" to get links like http://www.burn4free.com/ ) can be used to burn the .ISO directly to a "DVD-R" disc. Just about any recent (last 5-6 years) DVD player can play DVD-R.

Try googling "what is an ISO"

I downloaded utorrent then downloaded the video, but I don't know what to do now.  I tried clicking on the play button, but it didn't do anything.

The .ISO file is a disk image. You have to mount it, and then it will look just like a physical DVD to your computer.

Dunno how to do that with Windows.

I could never get it to work. I downloaded the torrent twice. The first DVD-RW I tried got an error using Deep Burner from the site (Nero wouldn't recognize the .ISO). The second DVD-RW I tried wrote fine, but when I went to open the disk, my computer shows it as still being blank, even though I can physically see where the data was written to the disk.

I'll try that link above to see if I can view the file on my machine.

I can view it using that VLC player you linked to.

Thanks, Dennis! I don't have a DVD recorder and this worked great. Just drag and drop onto it.

Are you running OS X? When you double-click the .ISO file, it should launch Disk Utility and then mount the volume right on the desktop. Then you can launch the DVD player and use file/open to open the video_ts file on the mounted volume. That's what works for me (running 10.2.8).

(I meant to say Disk Copy, not "Disk Utility". Brain cramp.)

It sounds like you've just got a corrupted copy. I believe I went through that with a previous version of the FSP video. Try deleting the folder named "Free State Project Video v1.4", then try again.

Not a happy answer. Sorry!

Which BT client are you using? TomatoTorrent was the only one that worked for me.
