Removing the Megavideo Time Limit

Question:
Megavideo stops at the middle of a movie, how can I watch the full length?



Answer:
Well, there are several methods of removing the Megavideo time limit, try them and choose the one that works best for you.


First Method:

Install the popular firefox extension called Downloadhelper. It can download any streaming content running on your firefox browser, so you can easily download videos from any video streaming sites with a single click. Here is a short step-by-step guide to download videos from megavideo using Downloadhelper.

1. Install Extension.

2. You will notice a small icon in the top right hand side of your browser window. If it is not there then right click on the toolbar and click customize. You will see the downloadhelper icon there. Just drag it where you want it to be on your toolbar.


3. Now, whenever you are on a site with streaming content, the downloadhelper button will animate and become coloured. Just click on the button and you will see the link to the different streaming files. Most likely there will only be one file when surfing sites likes megavideo, youtube, dailymotion, etc. Just click the play button (pause the movie) click on the icon, and the download will begin (movie.flv).

4. You will need a FLV Player to play the file. Download a freeware tested spyware free FLV Player here.


Second Method:

This one is good for People that do not use Firefox.

1. Download this program and install.

2. Place the megavideo URL and download the file.

3. You can now watch the video with your DIVX player!


Third Method:

1. Download Illimitux 3.0 and install it. Only for FIREFOX!

2. Click the movie you want to watch, a message will appear on the bottom.

3. You will be redirected to Illimitux, where you can watch it full screen without limitation.


Fourth Method:

If you have dsl internet and your provider assigns you dynamic IP (DHCP). Most people have it. Just watch the movie like you normally do. When the time limit message pops up, open your router web page in another window (type in your internal ip adress - something like 192.168.2.1). Then go to 'Status', click disconnect, your router should automatically reconnect (if not - click connect), you'll get another IP. The whole thing takes about 5 seconds, really easy. Then just refresh the megavideo page with your movie and continue watching from where you left. It's probably the easiest and quickest solution.


Fifth Method:

Another option is to use a Hide IP program. The first 14 days are free (try and then buy), after 14 days you can purchase the product for a small fee (29.99$ for a LIFETIME). With Hide IP you can change your IP whenever you want. Every time the time limit message pops up, just change your IP and keep watching. Much cheaper than paying at Megavideo.
