I'm very interested in picking up a Droid X. Have what are probably a couple of noob question for ya. Can I use itues to download movies and music to the Droid? I've done quite a bit of searching on the internet and haven't found an answer. Also, I'd like to use the device to download and play full lenght movies for trips and such. Is there a site I can go to with a wide variety of movies to chose from?Doesn't look like Verizon Markeplace has that. I know about Blockbuster, but I'm talking about just going to a site and downloading the movie to the Droid X (or to my computer first then transferring, if need be).Thanks.

iTunes movies will not play on Droid X do to copyrights but therehas been reports of ways to transfer music files on the market.

. Also, I'd like to use the device to download and play full lenght movies for trips and such. Is there a site I can go to with a wide variety of movies to chose from? Doesn't look like Verizon Markeplace has that. I know about Blockbuster
There isnt any sites to download movies legally other than the Hollywood Video App preinstalled on device that I know of.

The best way to have movies on you Droid X probally would be for you to check out a application called DVD Catalyst that can convert your personally owned dvds to files to work on your device... A number of Droid X owners seem to use this software without issues.

Thanks for the info.

I've read about being able to transfer itues music over to Droid X. Do you know if you can do that with movies purchased off itues as well?

<Edit> Just noticed that you already mentioned that itues movies can't be transferred over.

I bought "DVD Catalyst 3" for like $10 .... I'm assuming you're talking about making copies of DVDs you own to play on your DROID X for trips ... I do this - works great.

Yes, I would like to make copies of certain DVDs I have, but I'd also like to be able to download movies from a place like itues. Doesn't seem like there's much in the way of downloadable movie content for the Droid. Making me re-think my decision. If I'm out and about and want to see a movie, I'd like to go to an online source and be able to download it.

I do lots of camping and backpacking trips, so streaming movies through Blockbuster won't always be option when I want to see a movie. I'd like them either saved from copies of DVDs I currently own, or be able to download them to be played back whenever I want (out in the middle of nowhere or not).

I had pretty much made up my mind I was going with the X, but downloadable movie content is kind of important to me.

Hmm...
