For free, you can stream some things~ others will have a 72 minute limit- meaning every 72 minutes, whatever you’re watching will stop, and you won’t be able to watch anything again for 52 minutes (and then only for 72 again).
They have membership packages to help eliminate all that, but Megavideo’s quality definitely leaves something to be desired.
There’s better options out there. Torrents, if you’re familiar, can be an option in terms of finding new stuff, but they often take hours to download even with a fast connection, and even then 75% usually turn out to be fakes.
Hulu offers some streaming videos, but nothing radically new (as in in-theaters new, or recently aired on a movie channel new)- but it is free, high quality, and great for catching re runs of shows if you don’t have DVR.
I’ve used many of the downloading sites over the years, & only one stands out- Graboid.
Graboid offers films, tv, documentaries, etc~ their site used to be free but has since begun charging; however, you can still try it free (no credit card required) to get a feel of what they’re about & if it’s something you want to spend $ on.
Graboid runs on Bandwidth: a typical movie ranges from 700-5,000 BW (some even higher/lower, depending on the format). TV shows are between 200-2000BW; but for the most part, it’s very easy to find a movie for under 900BW and a TV show (like the Tudors, or True Blood) for 400-600BW.
There are usually several copies of each movie/episode; and Graboid tells you what format each one is (screener DVD, Work print, Tele sync, Retail, DVD, Vidx, Cam[corder], etc.), so you always know what you’re getting~ and to further simplify, as each person watches it, they can vote- so you’ll see a green, yellow or red light based on the total votes- meaning good, so-so, and bad copies. This is usually irrelevant for a DVD- we know DVD copies are good quality- but for someone who’s dying to see a new movie still in theaters, and who’s willing to consider watching it in a lower quality format like a cam (camcorder) copy, this feature helps to differentiate horribly low quality versions on cam with bad audio or terrible visuals vrs the more clearly made, better cam copies.
Bandwidth will also relate invariably to the format~ a High Def or Blue-Ray version will run you 3,000+ BW, where as a regular DVD copy or cam copy is easily about 700-900 BW.
The selection on Graboid is simply unbeatable- there is no one else with the amount of material they have. They get around the legal aspect b/c they aren’t hosting the uploaded material; they simply pool it together and offer you a site that lists them all in one place. There’s no waiting until the hoster is online, the video’s on there are always available to dowload, 24/7. They have every genre, and even offer parental controlling to block adult material.
Occasionally, films that haven’t even been released to theaters yet pop up~ we saw quite a few major movies before we had even heard of them~ Graboid has a “more info” button for each movie/episode that directly links you to IMDB (internet movie data base).
Pricing also runs on Bandwidth. Your 1st 4,000BW are free-. You go to the site, download the software (it’s guaranteed virus free; and I can vouch for them- in the 6 years I’ve been using them I’ve ever had any issues, nor have the myriad of family & friends I’ve turned on to them). The download takes about 25 seconds; once done, you’ll have an icon on your desktop you click on to open it, and once you do it the 1st time, it will give you a registration page. Choose a username/password, give them your name, email, etc- and that’s it- you get 4,000 free BW to try them out. (You can easily watch 4 movies with that).
They offer streaming & downloading options~ if you stream it, you will be given the option to save it when it’s over, as a download. Once downloaded, you can watch it as many times as you want.
If you decide you want to buy a subscription, their pricing is super cheap:
$ 4.99 month= 10,000 BW (about 10 movies, give or take)
$ 14.99 month= 50,000 BW (about 50 movies a month)
There are higher options, you’ll have to check the renew subscription page for specifics- we find that in a house of 5 people, we’re rarely able to use up all 50,000BW we buy each month. And that’s with all of us watching movies, shows, etc.
You can pay with paypal or by credit card- they bill once a month.
It’s really worth checking out- we’ve stopped using anything else- too many viruses going around on the others. For $ 15 a month we get to watch new movies & were able to cancel our movie channels (I’m a total Tudors/True Blood/Big Love addict; & I see them all an hour after they air with Graboid). Movie channels are sometimes $ 15 a month alone- now I get any show, on any channel, for that amount- to say nothing about the movies.
There’s no codes or referrals; you don’t need anyone’s name or a promo code- just go to graboid: http://www.graboid.com/

Yes you can download videos from Megavideo, but hopefully you can download the whole show before timing out.
Download the Free player, during the setup it will ask “Enable Browser Download Button” Make sure it IS checked. After its downloaded..you never have to open it again.
2. Start your video in Megavideo and notice a prompt at the top tight of the video “Download Video” click on the prompt to begin the download.
Megavideo normally plays flash videos….and Real Player will download all flash videos. For example you can download any videos from Youtube.
3. If you are getting timed out from Megavideos…use these other sites that don’t time out…select the ones that are Flash files
