How to Download Megavideo Files
According to Alexa statistics for June 2011, MegaVideo is one of the most visited video websites on the Internet. MegaVideo allows premium account users unrestricted access to videos, but imposes a 72-minute time limit for members with free accounts. The time limit restrictions forces users to wait nearly an hour before they can resume watching a video. Therefore, many free members opt to download the videos to their computer. However, MegaVideo does not provide an option that allows free account holders to download videos directly. To download videos with a free MegaVideo account, you will need to use a third-party download site.

Browse to a website that allows you to download and convert videos from MegaVideo and other videos sites. Sites such as ClipNabber.com, FLVtoMP4Converter.com, Online-Convert.com and FLVtoMP4.net are free, and make downloading videos from MegaVideo relatively easy.

Type the URL address of the MegaVIdeo webpage that contains the video you want to download into the "URL" or "Web Address" field of the download site. Click and select the output format to which you want to convert the video. Alternatively, leave the default format type in place, if you have a video player that supports FLV files. By default, Windows Media Player does not support Flash or FLV files. Therefore, if you don't have a FLV compatible player or codec, choose WMV or AVI, as these are formats that Windows supports.
