Video sharing: select download, it opens in another browser window
-
How is someone meant to download one of my videos? I have enabled sharing on all my uploaded videos (I was told that this was the only way to make them available for HTML5, rather than Flash). But when I select download from the relevant button in the sharing menu, all that happens is the video plays in a new browser window. How is one meant to actually download it, like the button says?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
You can right–click the video playing in the new browser window, then click Save (Video) As*.
* This depends if you’re clicking on the video or outside of the video on a blank area of the page.

Hi Bryan
Even if that worked it wouldn’t be great: when visitors click ‘download’ I think they expect something to download.
But what you say doesn’t even work. (At least not on a Mac running Mac OS X Lion, and using Safari 6 — I haven’t tried it with any other browser). If I right-click on the video itself, there’s no option to download anything (see screen grab http://www.screencast.com/t/rdgKSwfB). If I right-click outside the video window there’s an option to download the page, but selecting that doesn’t download the video (http://www.screencast.com/t/Fyxqoyrc).
So, any chance of getting the download function to work? Please!
