I am trying to setup on my website where I can view a video in low resolution for space saving purposes, then if someone likes the video, I have added into the webpage a link for them to download the full hi-res video. The problem seems to be that no matter what I try I cannot get anything to actually download to my pc from the host server webpage video directory. I have tried many different options that I have found by googling the net. For instance

If you are using Opera this will "Stream" and play in your Opera Browser, It will not work on IE11, Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari. And Streaming is not what I wanted anyway, I want someone to be able to download the file to their harddrive to watch later.
Can anyone help me figure out how to be able to download to my pc from the webpage Download link? The primary browser I would like to use is IE, however I am trying to also go for multi-browser support.
* Edit *
After clicking on the link in IE11 it appeared to be thinking so I let it run and after about 5 minutes it started streaming. But I still cant download to my pc the file.

One day youtube stopped working on all browsers. It loads preview of the video and then loading infinite circle appears. Sometimes it shows the message: if playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device. I cleared coockies, history etc. two times. I found something about the hosts file, but the original file contains the same exact thing the guide was recommending to replace. There similar problems with youtube, but i didn't find anything that could possibly solve the issue except the host file.
Whether the problem only occurs on the YouTube site? Try to play some online video from another site, such as Bing and Google.
If this issue only occurs on the YouTube site, perhaps the issue is related the YouTube site, you could check the YouTube help forum and contact with them.
If another site also has the same problem, perhaps the issue is related to your network or computer. Please check the network connection and check which version of OS and Browser version are you using? Then, try to Restart your browser, Restart your router, Restart your computer or Update your browser to the latest version.
Make sure you use propper audio device.
I have a bunch of HD videos in a shared link of Google drive. Is it possible to somehow convert these online into any other lower size video formats(360p,480p) and then download it?
I use this. It integrated directly with Drive. It doesn't do batch conversion, but it works.
Edit: And if you don't use Chrome, you can visit the site directly. It'll still work.
Edit 2: http://CloudConvert.com is also a valid option if you're not converting a lot of files at once and your files are smaller than 1GB.
If you use IDM (Internet Download Manager) it automatically gives a lower quality when you download with it.
After making sure it's linked with chrome, just open the video in drive and open it (start watching it), you'll see a small bar looking button at the top right corner, just click it and it'll open the download in IDM.
I work as a subtitler and I've used this method for a while, it worked wonders (400-500mb to ~100mb).
I was looking for a simple mp3 player that looks the same in most browsers. I found mediaelement.js, I follow all the instructions and works perfect in my local pc, but when I upload all the files to my server I just see the GUI of the browser, not mediaelement.js.
Why?

So, I have an HTML page that includes a Silverlight xap file which plays a video. It works correctly while running locally and on our DEV environment when using Chrome or FF. The issue is when I am trying to view the video on our DEV environment using Internet Explorer. When doing so, it prompts me to Display Mixed Content. Whether I hit Yes or No, the browser crashes. I am able to go into my options and Enable Display Mixed Content, which fixes the issue and the video shows up correctly on the DEV environment using IE. But, this is not a good solution for a client facing site. Is there a way around this message to prevent it from crashing the browser?
A workaround for this is to use JavaScript to open the HTML page that contains the video in a new window. The user will still be prompted to Display Mixed Content, but it will not crash the browser and the video will play.
I'm working on a site using cached video in HTML5. It works fine on a laptop using Safari. When I test on mobile Safari using IOS 5, I see the following:
Site works and plays video fine when 1st loaded.
I get prompted if I want to cache 10 MB of data on my iPhone. I say yes. (Cache size in Safari was 9.5 MB) Website data page in mobile Safari settings confirms 9.5 MB are cached.
When I try to return to the website in a new tab, the HTML and images load, but for the video I get a play button with a line through it.
This happens regardless of whether I turn Airplane Mode on or off.
I have the exact same issue. I have seen various things by searching that suggest one of two things. Either HTML5 cache.manifest doesn't allow video, or mp4/m4v videos get cached with a different name and then don't get found after caching. I'm hoping there is a way to do it, but I still haven't found anything.
