movie rentals?

[gmermel]

I've been searching, browsing, etc. Have a headache.

Simple question:

Where can I rent movies for the droid?

All I want to do is load a movie to watch on the plane like I do for my itouch at itunes store.......

I'm not aware of any services like itunes, but there are movies available for download- check this thread for how-to:

Or you can convert and load yourself- check the How to and tips section of the DROID forum for various discussions.

Seems like crackberry is piracy or close......

Any ways to convert itunes download rentals? What with the 24 hours to watch than it auto-erases capability, I would be stunned if this was possible.

So there is no service that rents mp4 movies, huh?

What about rentals of other formats I could then convert once I got them downloaded?

Found a site that Sells films in various formats for $2-5 depending on format. I can purchase Watchmen for example in the following formats:

V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
XviD MPEG-4

Would these need conversion to play? My knowledge base is so shallow I don't know if they ARE in the mp4 the droid requires or if those extra letters mean the feeds need further conversion.
Thanks.

Click on a movie. In the middle of the page, they have a 'download' box that shows the codec, with the various formats listed. Toggle the button (divx, ipod...) and you'll see the formats w/codec you can choose for that movie....

The ipod codec line is empty BTW.
