Q. I'm getting this message while watching videos: "You have watched 72 minutes of video today. Please wait (insert number) minutes or click here to enjoy unlimited use of Megavideo." What should I do?

A. As of now, we don't have a 100% solution to the problem. But you can find other working solution by using google.com :-)

Q. Megavideo "Connection problem". What should I do?

A. Megavideo "Connection problem" is just a temporary problem occuring due to bandwidth lag on megavideo.com. If you see "connection problem" error when you try to watch a movie, please refresh the page or try again after some time. It will work!

Q. When I click on a Megavideo or other hosted video, it pops up an advertisement on another page and not the video itself. Is this supposed to happen?

A. Most likely, they are just trying to pay their bills (bandwidth is expensive). Please understand their needs, simply close the pop-up and enjoy your video. Unfortunately, we have no control over what Megavideo or other hosts does to their player.

Q. Is it possible to start a video from where it was stopped if I have closed the window?

A. This feature is called "seeking". Unfortunately, not all hosts have implemented this. What you may want to do is wait until a video has completely loaded (except on Youku which loads 7-minutes at a time only) and then randomly click around the buffering bar until you have found your place.

Q. How do I Speed up videos?

A. You can speed up video loading times significantly by using SpeedBit Video Accelerator. It is a FREE piece of software which works for many websites such as Tudou, Youtube, etc.

When installing, make sure you untick the boxes and just click "next" on the next few screens that come up until it's finished. Finally, restart your web browser and use Blockbuster Search as normal, you should notice a considerable loading speed increase.
