Anybody know what's up with this site? I can't download any videos. I was trying to download Vinny's "warped and restored" and it won't work. Is it just my computer or is there something wrong with the site?

44 views and no reply? Hmmm... ok. The next person that views this... can do you me a favor? Go to http://www.magicvideodepot.com Pick any video to download. Try to download it and let me know if it works. I'd like to know if my computer is just retarded or if the site is having some issues. Thanks

Dann...It must be your computer. I just watched several videos there.
Not sure what to tell you as far as fixing it though. Good luck!!! Kevin

I noticed that those are Window Media Player format. Is it possible that you have accidentally deleted your player or have an old version? If so, you can download a new version free at Microsoft Update. Just a thought.
One other thought... Do you have broadband or dial up? If dial up, it might take a long time to download the videos. You may just need to be patient and wait longer. Or there could be something wrong with your computer. Or with your browser. I know... big help, huh?

You guys have helped just by telling me you've had no problems. I've downloaded probably 50 videos from the site in the past, so I know there is a problem. I have dialup and I right click and choose save target as. It's ALWAYS worked in the past and it saves it as Windows Media Video (or whatever format it happens to be in) now when I do it, it tries saves it as .HTML I hit download and it does it in about 1 second and obviously does not play since it was not saved as a media file. I've downloaded countless other videos from other sites with no problem. That is why I figured it must be the site. Well, I am at a loss and don't know where to go from here. So crazy. Thanks for the replies though guys.

That could be a browser glitch. I have seen it where an obvious .jpeg (image) file will only want to save as a .bmp file. It does seem to only happen on certain pages, so it could be something messy with the "cache" on your browser or a corrupted plug-in. You might want to delete all the temp files in your browser.

Ok. I'm not the brightest when it comes to computers. I'm running Win 98. How do I delete temp files in my browser? Thanks for the help

In IE - Internet Explorer - Click on Tools - Internet Options - Do the delete and clear options.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortuantely that did not seem to work, so I switched to Firefox (different browser) and it starts downloading it and then says "the link could not be saved. The Webpage might have been removed or had it's name changed." I've tried downloading lots of different videos without any success? Nobody else has this problem? I don't have the problem with any other site.

I take that back. There was a minor glitch with Firefox, but in the end it did download the video. Thanks for all the advice.
