ARGH! How can you watch an episode of anything or a movie when this annoying popup keeps appearing? Below are few ways to bypass megavideo 72 minutes limitation

Megavideo Hack 1

Step 1: Click PLAY button of Megavideo episode, click PAUSE and wait for the video to buffer to 100%.
Step 2: After the video is done buffering, go to your menu bar on your browser, and click on File > Work Offline.
Step 3: Watch the episode.
Step 4: Unclick the “Work Offline” button and do the same with other episodes.

Megavideo Hack 2 – Download Megavideo Videos

In both IE and Firefox, videos are stored in Temporary Internet Files Folder and so you can hack from there by copying the file and renaming the extension to FLV. Load up the video so its 100% buffered. In Internet Explorer click Tools –> Settings (under the “Browsing History”) then “View Files“. Sort the folder by file size. Your video should be the largest file in that folder and named something like “73efd837a90c290b80aa0f55b82455j8″. Copy and Paste the file onto the desktop and rename the file extension to .flv. You can now watch it on your FLV player or in VLC.

    Hey, i found a website that removes the time limit automaticly, lyke.co.cc, worked great for me. The offline thing deos not work for me so i say lyke.co.cc is the best to use.

  2. tazzle Says:

    i cant get the second method to work for windows vista…i cant find the file in the temporary internet folder. any ideas of why this is and what i can do to get around it?

  3. moah909 Says:

    im not sure if it did this because of it but i put a question mark after the url when the time limit thing appeared and refreshed the page then went back and the time limit was only 9 min

  4. Kira213 Says:

    another way to do it is to get the Firefox add-on called illimitux, then once a megavideo thing pops up, in the bottem right corner a box will come up and itll say remove limitation click that then it will open a new page with the video but itll be threw illimitux….

    heres a link to a site were u can get it
    http://www.illimitux.net/addon/?
    just click download (dont worry theres no viruses or any thing.)

  5. Ryan Says:

    Okay this is the real way to do it. You watch your 72 min of what ever movie you’re watching. Then select ‘work offline’. Then refresh your webpage, and go to internet options. Delete everything. Connect back online, and refresh back to your movie.

  6. Webster Says:

    Hey i just found a much easyer method. All you have to do is enter the Megavideo at Lyke.co.cc.

    Reply: I did everything you said in that sentences and it still didn’t work.. Does it work if you have two Firefox program on at the same time?

    Does the second option allow you to download full length movies?

    I’ve tried using various FLV downloaders, but it always times out. I’m assuming that either most FLV downloaders aren’t made to download videos longer then 56 minutes, or that MEGAVIDEO’s time limit is also a method to deter people from downloading the films without being a member (since I can only get between 30 – 56 minutes each time I try, and thats pretty much half a movie only)
