Hi,
You could try www.youku.com or www.tudou.com
Both are like Chinese versions of youtube. You should be able to get most of what you are looking for here. Some will have the Chinese subtitles too. For a downloaded and converter you could try www.zamzar.com which converts video files to mpeg which you can then play on windows media player.
 
Hope that helps!
 
Good luck!
