 Topic: Internet Video Downloader ErrorPosted: 27 Oct 2009 at 6:37am |
|
Hi:
I've searched this forum and I think I have a unique issue. I got a copy of "Media Converter for Philips" with my new GoGear mp3/smv player. After installation I can see the "Internet Video Downloader" appear in the upper left corner of YouTube videos in IE6 and IE8. However, the download fails with "Error: Download Failed" after about a twenty second period of a "Waiting..." message. The software as supplied by Philips has no serial number so I cannot even register it on this site. The media converter itself seems to work well- I can convert TiVo for my SMV player! I have used the CD and also pulled a zip package from Philips with the Media Converter software. Both approaches give me the same error. Is there any way I can get "official" support on this product? I have my player S/N but I would guess ArcSoft has little use for this. Thanks |

An Update...
Because the original software has no serial number I cannot register it with Arcsoft to get support. Even the upgrade to Media Converter 2.5, a special coupon offer through Philips, has o serial number. I got the upgrade because the Philips M.C. claimed YouTube videos could not be converted unless I purchased the upgrade which has the FLV codec. That appears to have made no difference EITHER> I am about a day away from returning this thing. |

I have the same problem
 . Up until yesterday the Internet Video Downloader worked just fine. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the MC from the CD I got with my GoGear but I keep getting that error: download failed. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

 Its seems alot of people who has purchased this product is having the same issue. I dont know if this all happened in October because youtube decide to use another codec for their videos.  But it seems suspicious for ArcSoft & Phillips to develop an inferior product that only last a couple of months... then ask people to purchase their Media Converter 3. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What a load of  !!!
If they dont do something soon, you ARcsoft and Philips Media Converter will be reported on several different media outlets from forums to blogs and such.

As of today, 11/09/09, the problem is fixed. Just reinstall the Video Downloader and it will tell you that an "update" is available. Works again. Thank you ArcSoft! Job well done!!!
