Frequently asked questions

PLAYING A DOWNLOADED VIDEO
What format are the video clips?
For each HD clip you download you get two download links corresponding to two different files of the same video at different resolutions:
  • URL number 1: High definition WMV-HD720 video (1280x720 pixels resolution @ 3200 kbps). This file can be played in any computer or HD-ready hardware, but its download will take a bit longer.
  • URL number 2: Low definition WMV video (854x480 pixels @ 1000 kbps). This file is low size file that can be downloaded quickly, and it can be played in any computer.
(NOTE: This applies only to HD videos, our old 4:3 videos (volume 1 and 2) are offered in a single standard 4:3 wmv DV format.
Why HD720/1080 video/audio is playing back very choppy?
In order to play a WMV-HD720 video, your computer should meet these minimum system requirements:
  • 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor or equivalent
  • 384 MB of RAM (Windows XP), 1 GB (Windows Vista)
  • 64 MB video card
Download Here a HD720i FREE PREVIEW VIDEO to check if your computer is able to play HD1080i videos.
If your computer is not fast enough to play WMV-HD files, you can use the 'low' version of the file, or you can even convert the downloaded files to a lower resolution format using WMV to AVI MPEG DVD WMV Converter.
Are your videos DRM protected?
No. We don't use DRM system (Digital Rights Management). Once you download any of our clips,  you can play it without limits and you are free to play our videos on any computer or compatible system.
I'm unable to use navigation controls (fast foward, rewind, skip) when playing the videos?
This may mean that your video download was incomplete, and you got only a partial file. Navigation is not possible when playing incomplete files. Perhaps the download got broken causing an incompleted file. Please download again the complete video, and be sure that the video size matched with the size displayed in its website.

Also, the use of download accelerators, like FlashGet or JDownloader may issue partially downloaded files, due to the implementation of segmented download feature by using several parallel connections to the server. If you use a download manager, please deactivate 'Segmented Download' on the application settings, in order to avoid uncompleted downloads.
What software do I need to play HD wmv files on a Mac or on an iPhone/iPad?
iPhone or iPad users can use VM Player HD is one of the best HD multimedia players for iPhone or iPad, which has simple and easy-to-use interface and supports a big range of different file formats, including WMV-HD.

For Mac users,VLC Media Player will play just about anything you can throw at it! Alternately you can try Flip4Mac WMV Components Both are free applications.
Do you sell DVDs?
No. We have no plans to sell DVDs or tangible media. We are based in Spain, and overseas shipments will be slower than download the video from our server. It's also important to remember that DVD doesn't support High Definition (HD).

Once you download a clip you can burn them onto a blank DVD using any freeware DVD authoring application. DVD Flick works really well and is free, It can take your favourite clips stored on your computer and turn them into a playable DVD. However our downloadable videos have a higher resolution than DVD format supports. To get the best playback experience, play our videos connecting your computer to a HD-TV.

Why do I get 'ERROR - 10002' when I try to download?
Your video download links will expire after 120 hours (5 days), and you have 10 attempts to download each video.

If you play your videos directly from the internet, you may waste your download attempts, so is highly recommended to play the videos from your computer hard disk. Please, save the videos to your hard disk first.

If you use a download accelerator (like JDownloader or FlashGet), the application may open several parallel connections to fragment the download, but expiring all your allowed download retries before the file gets fully downloaded. Be sure to deactivate 'Segmented Downloading' on your application settings before starting to download the files.

If you need extra attempts or extra time, don't hesitate to email us.
My download link never begins the download. Why?
Sometimes the link we sent to your email is split into two lines by the email client. This will cause an invalid or expired link that redirects you to the homepage. If the link that you received in your email is reconstructed to one line, then it works perfectly. Just copy it and paste it in your browser and it will work.

Alternately, the complete link is also displayed in your order page. My account' > 'Order history' > 'View Order' . (Click here to access directly to your download links). If you have problems downloading, please email us.
