Downloads

When I download try to download the ipod version, ie just opens another window with a URL containing the mp4 rather than letting me choose the download location.

How do I download the file to my local drive?

Hi Ian - we are working on a solution for this. I don't have an ETA yet but we're hoping to change the interface so that you'll be able to right-click -> "Save as..." like you would expect.

This was an oversight on my part, I'm sorry you're having this problem. There is also a workaround if you are in a bind. When you click to download an MP4 it will open a new browser window. From there if you copy the URL you can then paste it into a download manager (such as FreeDownloadManager.org) and use that to download the file.

But hopefully we'll get this fixed soon.

This has been fixed now. If you click on Download for any session you can then right-click -> "Save as..." for any of the download types.

Thanks for your patience.

It's really hard to take this conference or silverlight seriously when the guys behind it don't know how to properly de-interlace or crop videos.

I'm just saying...
