The VideoLAN Forums

I figured this was the place to start.
Hello everyone.

I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer here technically.
But I can hold my own.
sometimes...
I need some help regarding what would seem to be a very popular use of the VLC.
And I learned a long time ago that rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, and spending two weeks with trial and error....
Just ASK...

SO.
I have used VLC to play music, and vids...DVDs, and youtube streams...
I love the video and audio control functions, Especially the compressor and EQ and vid controls. I love everything about it.

Question.

I want to buy movies online, By paying to download them...NOT buying the DVDs. (perhaps sometimes renting them...)
Either from Amazon or Google play.

Can I use VLC to watch these full length movies?

Older comp.

Windows XP sp3
Intel P4 at 2.8 GHz
1.2 G Ram
High speed net.

Am I S.O.L?

Thanks in advance for any help...

If the files are DRM free then VLC should be able to play them.
