Megavideo - Raw files

[kaos]

Hi everyone.

For the longest time I have been trying to find way to convert a Megavideo URL to the 'real' URL. I'm trying to play them in my JW Player from longtailvideo.com. however, although you can play Youtube videos easily, Megavideo is trickier. Can anyone help?

There are a few reasons that's a problem. The biggest is that it's not how they want you to do it (they want to serve ads, etc), and they limit viewing time, so it gets complex. While it may be possible to redirect their flash to play from your website, embedding another player would be much more complex. I don't know how the system works, but I wouldn't bother trying. It's probably against the TOS anyway, so if you had a successful site it might become a problem.
So unless you want to embed their player on your page, there's no good way around it.
