If you want to download a video file instead of playing it in your browser, you can follow these steps:
- Right-click on the video file link.
- Select "Save link as" or "Save target as" (depending on your browser) from the context menu.
- Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the file.
- Click "Save" to start the download.
VIDEO FOLDER - PLACE TO STORE YOUR VIDEOS
The best approach is to create separate folder where you would keep all your downloaded Veloreality videos and point the software to that folder (see the pic. below)
It not mandatory but is better if the software and the videos are on physically different hard drives.
DOWNLOADED VIDEO NOT VISIBLE IN OUR SOFTWARE
Sometimes videos are downloaded but you can not see them in the list of rides in VRide software even though it points to correct folder. The reason is that sometimes Browser/Download Manager renames the file by adding sequential number surrounded by round brackets to its name and it now looks like XXXX(1).XXX/XXXX(2).XXX/etc instead of XXXX.XXX. Just rename it back to XXXX.XXX by removing brackets and surrounded number. When exploring files on your computer it is recommended that file browser is set not to hide file extensions.
VIDEO WORKS BUT AT SOME POINT IT STOPS, PLAYER HANGS,CRASHES,BLACK SCREENS, ETC.
Downloaded video got corrupted. That happens sometimes when not using good download manager. For test you can try opening the same video with windows media player (or whatever software you are using to play video files) and then move position slider randomly through the whole range. If video is corrupted said video player will behave the same as our software (crash, hang, stop, black screen, etc. etc ). Erase corrupted video and download it again.
SLOW DOWNLOADS, VIDEO CORRUPTED
Some users might experience slow downloads and / or sometimes downloads are interrupted without possibility to resume. Or video did download but does not work because it got corrupted. Well browsers are not very good tool for downloading huge files (and our cycling video files are just that). We highly recommend that instead of using browser to download media files you resort to using specialized download managers.
Those programs can greatly speed up downloads by retrieving files in chunks and getting few chunks in parallel. They can also resume aborted downloads without starting it from the scratch and have lots of other nice features. Finally downloads using those programs are reliable: you do not end up with corrupted video files as happens sometimes when downloading using just web browser.
The example would be "Free Download Manager" from
