Salmonator. Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Once you are in iTunes i believe there is a button you can press to convert it. I thought that once you download a file in MP4, it automatically can go on my iPod since it's in video form Can you please screenshot the button that I'm supposed to press if you have time?

sundaymorning6am Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 HEY GUYS! I just wanted to let whoever needs to know that the megaupload download of the Times Talk video is RIFED with 'root viruses' for PC's. I downloaded it on my computer at work today (I use a Macbook at home) and my computer completely flipped out, and 4.5 hours, 18 different anti-virus programs, lots of starts in SafeMode, and 3000 restarts later, an IT dude was finally able to get my computer working normally again. I'm almost certain this is what caused it because I didn't do ANYthing else out of the unusual today. I'm not yelling at whoever uploaded it, but I'm just saying to be BE CAREFUL! Have a good weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't confirm on my end...downloaded it on two different PCs yesterday, scanned every which way by two different antivirus scan engines (MS Forefront and Symantec) without trouble.

Downloaded at work with no problem and ran a virus scan just to make sure....no problem for me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdscape Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I uploaded it and I can guarantee there is no virus on it. I downloaded it on my other laptop and did a scan and it comes up clean. Andres also scanned it and it also came up clean on his computer. You guys have no worries about downloading this. Its clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaymorning6am Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I just sent Jimmy my story of what happened. It MAY have been that site that you can watch it for 'for free' without downloading it too that made my computer almost-die. I'm glad the file is fine, and I'm sorry if I sent anyone into a frenzy with my post, I just had the most stressful day at working thinking I was going to lose all of my files (back up your shit, people!). Sooo... can I download this onto my Macbook??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonator. Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 One, it says you quoted me earlier today...but it doesn't show, did you edit it out or something? Two, I downloaded it on my Macbook & it's fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDM Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm about to download it on my MAC, I'll let you know. Yea, I just downloaded and put it in iTunes. I think what may have happened is that when you went to view it, it sent you to the site and then said that some plug-in was missing. If you clicked that, I think that's where the virus may have come about. It said something about a Movie Codex or something. When I initially went to watch it tonight, when I clicked on the red button on the GDA, it sent me to MegaVideo, and then wouldn't let me view it. If you went through those motions on megavideo, that's maybe where something happened? I don't know if this is what happened, I'm just hypothesizing since I got a bunch of pop-ups, too. But, the download itself is all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonator. Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Does anyone know how to add it to your iPod? I added it to my movie playlist, and I thought MP4 was the version that goes on the iPod so I don't get what I did wrong :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
