Do You Know Why You Download Online Videos with Failure?

Online Video has become more smoothly with the high technology development of the computer, multimedia and communication. Therefore, more and more people choose to enjoy online videos and download exciting videos directly. On the internet, there are many video download tools, which make the video downloading process easy and convenient. However, sometimes, people may find out that not all the online videos can be detected and downloaded by downloader tools. What are the reasons? This article will analyze the problem in detail.

Generally speaking, the following 4 factors will cause the failure: Internet connection, download tool, video and website.

1. Internet Connection

If your Internet connection has something wrong, it will result in the failure of online video download, so please check your net connection and make sure all work well firstly.

2. Download Tool

To download online videos, of course you need to install a video download tool in your computer first. If you fail to download the online video, but neither video nor website itself causes the problem, you had better carefully check the downloader software you are using. Firstly, please check whether your video downloader supports the formats of the video that you want to download; next, ask the following 3 questions to you yourself: have you installed the program correctly? Is the program set correctly? Do you use the tool correctly? If all above does not help, we suggest you ask the software’s customer service for further help.

3. Video

Usually, the online videos are divided into two kinds: streaming media and non-streaming media.

Most video download tools are able to capture and download non-streaming online videos, so if your tool cannot detect the online video, please check whether it is a streaming video or not.

From Wikipedia: Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider. The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, video cassettes, audio CDs). The verb ‘to stream’ is also derived from this term, meaning to deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly streamed medium.

In addition, if the video is encrypted, no matter what kind of the video it is, it certainly cannot be downloaded.

4. Website

As known, it is the server that ensures the website running (here it refers to the server on which the website is based), thus, if a website is based on the streaming media server, the online videos on the website cannot be captured and downloaded as usual.

To be more concrete, take sothink web video downloader for example, if a video file is of non-streaming media format but locates in a streaming media website, the very video downloader cannot detect it, so it cannot be downloaded by the software. However, as for the streaming video on the non-streaming media website, the program is capable of downloading it actually.

In conclusion, the tool, Internet, video and website are the important parts need to be paid much attention when you download online videos. Do remember: get to know the properties of the videos and websites, find to use a good video downloader tool, and make sure the Internet is connected. At last, hope above can help you and just enjoy the wonderful Internet life.

The Easiest Way to Enjoy Movies with Car DVD Players

It is really a pleasant thing to enjoy Hollywood movies in car at any time you want. However, after many motorists download movies, they don’t know how to play movies in the car correctly. They usually have many problems, such as the format compatibility issue or no suitable DVD burning software. In order to solve the problems, I have made this guide to explain them in detail. The following tutorial takes Boss BV9992 In-Dash 7 Car DVD Player for example. It is also suitable for other car DVD players.

Step1. Get the detailed information of the car DVD player

The most important thing is to be aware of the supported format of the car DVD player. Different car DVD players support different audio& video formats.

The BV9992 plays back your DVDs/SDVDs, SVCDs/VCDs, CDs, CD-R/Ws, and WMA/MP4/MP3 files. The BV9992 features a USB port and SD Card jack, so you can instantly switch out USB thumb drives or SD cards with a fresh batch of MP3 tunes/podcasts/etc.

Tip: For audio plays, you just need to download the WMA or MP3 files and save them in your SD card or MP3 player device, then connect the device to the car DVD player. For video plays, you need to convert and burn them to DVD discs.

Step2. Download the DVD burner software

You need to burn the movies to DVD discs before enjoying these movies on car DVD player. I use Sothink free movie DVD maker to burn my AVI and RMVB movies to DVD discs.

Tip: Simply copying movies to DVD disc will cause play problems. You need to convert movies to VOB format or others. The easy-to-use video to DVD burner software can save you much time and energy.

 

Step3. Set the burning parameters

1. Click “Add Files” button to add the videos you want to burn. Choose “Target disc size” in the “Settings” option. There are two options: “DVD-5 (4.7G)” and “DVD-9 (8.5G)”. You can make more advanced settings with “Advanced” option.

Tip: D5 is a single layered DVD disc with nearly 5 GB capacity while D9 is a double layered DVD disc with nearly 9 GB capacity.

2.  Click “DVD Menu” option to add movie menus. Dozens of inbuilt menu templates are available in the program. However, you can DIY movie menu too; for instance, you can change the background image to your wedding pictures or baby photos etc. You can refer to the movie menu DIY guides.

Step4. Trim the movies if needed

Tired of the advertisement of the movies? You can trim the movies before burning. Just choose the movie and then click “Edit-> Trim…”. Drag the left triangle to a position you want it be the start of the converted video and the right triangle to a position you want it be the end of the converted video.

Step5. Burn movies to DVD discs

Click “Burn” button in the toolbar. If you forget to insert a DVD disc to your PC, the burnt files will be saved in the folder where the program is installed. The folder will open automatically after the burning.

Tip: Three types of files are included in the VIDOE_TS folder: .IFO (information files), .VOB (video data files), .BUP (backups for IFO files).

Step6. Insert the burnt DVD discs to the Boss BV9992 In-Dash 7

Copy the burnt DVD folder to your DVD disc. Now, enjoy blockbusters with this car DVD player. This method is also suitable for other car DVD players.

Tip: For your safety, you’d better park your car if you want to watch movies.
