I''ve installed media converter and also video converter ultimate and neither work. The website claims both will convert iplayer, but media converter just says finished and creates no output file, ultimate converter waits for a while then gives an error. Where am I going wrong?
I''ve noticed that the built-in online video downloader doesn''t work anymore, since about a week. Did something change? Will Video Converter Ultimate need an update? I have version 6.1.2.
In the last week the BBC Iplayer downloading has stopped working. Previously it worked great, but now it always gets stuck on the Analysing section. I thought perhaps it was the newer version (6.1.2) that was broken, but I downgraded 6.1.1 and its still broken. Has the BBC changed something?
I am getting message "itunes not installed" and ?i have Never has itunes installed before. the q is why do we need to install itunes to convert an embedded bbc mp4 file?
Hi, popy. It is probably because your computer is in heavy task or iTunes is not installed correctly. You can uninstall this program and iTunes. And then re-install them respectively. When you convert the files, you'd better close all the unnecessary processes.
Is itunes required to use this program? I don't use and couldn't care less about itunes and your program is giving an "itunes not installed" warning. Do i really need it to convert/download videos from a source that's NOT itunes?
Actually, you can directly download BBC videos with the built-in online video downlaoder. Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate do support downloading videos from BBC.
What, so the recommended method for this is "use a screencapture utility"? Like, Camstudio or similar? IE there's no way to actually convert the files directly without having the BBC player application decode and display them first? That's going to require a pretty hefty PC if you want to have decent results, especially in HD.
Hi, Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate is upgraded to a new version recently. You can check it out.
Are there any updates planned to your software to allow this process to work since the September 2013 update to iplayer which means no more wmv files??
