Video download problems

Many people have had difficulties downloading videos, especially when using Internet Explorer. This was caused due issues with my hotlink protection. This should now be resolved, if you have any further problems please post.

99% of the videos are encoded with Windows Media 9, make sure your media player has this codec or you have Media Player 9 installed.

Codecs only

Which videos are you trying to download?

I can't download any videos either. I can view the WMV files online, but can't download.

Why do you want to download them, why dont you just watch them?

Because I have an internet connection of 2kbps. The only practical way to view things like this is to download it.

What you need to do is press pause and wait for the video to cache, when the majority is cached press play. This site like any other that has video content is optimised for broadband users, with a 2k net connection you are bound to have problems.

I cant dowload videos. I use IE and Opera. If i try download, i go to page with the video on line (and i dont see it) but not download the file.
thanks.

It looks like you have loads of nice vids here Laughing

, somehow more than 98% of them does not want to run on my machine Shocked

, which is pretty upseting, Sad

win XP SP2, WMP 11, k-lite codec pack, and as I can see i'm not the only one here with same problem. Any real solutions for this one?

Many thanks

It's very difficult to troubleshoot your problem without more information or access to your PC which obviously isnt an option.

1. Embeded video uses an Active-X component. Check you have it installed/enabled.
2. Try different browsers, and check your browsers security settings.
3. Is it the flash videos, or the windows media videos you are having problems with?
