New LR CC/6 videos

[davidgp]

There is a 'chance' Brian but not a very big one ))

The Download option is designed for those who cannot even sustain a lo-res streaming download. So far, there is only the option to select one type of Download file in the admin UI. Yes, I can do it but I need to keep the small file for those who have slow or intermittent connections.

Not that it is something we are contemplating at present, but IF there was that option, would you (& others?) pay extra for it?

I download the videos, but it is not because I have an slow connection (that I have... but enough to play the streaming). For me download it is to put the videos on my iPad and not to worry if I have internet connection to enjoy them, probably the 70% of LuLa videos I have watched them in a plane.

Really, for me, the size of the video for download, 400x224 it is unwatchable...

Of course, this is how personally I see things... I'm not trying to create polemic, there was already a lot of them around here lately...

I would be willing to pay more for high-res download videos. Add my vote please.

Chris,  has the LL launchpad been discontinued?  I ask because I first went there to view the video but it wan't showing up on the list.    I did have to request a password reset, which worked fine and shows the videos available from the Video tab of the main LL web site.   I'm good with the change but am curious if the launchpad application has lived it's useful life and is no longer needed. 

I've only watched the two free clips but must say that I've been equally entertained and informed.

Ummm, I thought I did pay for a hi-res download.  Now that I've looked at them and found that isn't true, I'll be requesting a refund.

Like one of the previous posters, I typically view these videos offline while traveling.  Streaming is a poor substitute, and one that doesn't interest me.

If I'm going to continue subscribing to the videos, it will only be if I can download them in hi resolution as before you made this current change.

I have changed the download to an HD file for now...

When I get a request for a smaller file from someone who cannot stream or download it, I will change it back to SD and notify here.

As I have tried to explain, there is only the choice of either SD or HD and my choice is to give everyone a chance to look at the video irrespective of their connection.

But for now, your wish is my command

Chris,  has the LL launchpad been discontinued? ...

Yes, all that Purple business with the LuLa app etc has been replaced by the new system.

If you have an Uninstall utility, you can safely delete all associated files

Silence since I switched the Download to HD...

Is this working for you?

Hey a very old man here and how do you download now?

[aragdog]

Forget previous post.  I am turning in my pocket protector and resigning from the techie, nerdie group.  But glad to see Jeff with that same shirt and glad he is still kicking.  Best to all and great thanks for the video.

I Looks as exactly this part was missing to 'keep the customer satisfied'

I have received complaints that the download file is too big - so I am switching the Download back to SD.

I will switch back to HD later today (July 1st)

Thank you Chris for the HD files!!!....I have now the complete LR videos in my PC and can watch them offline anytime....the quality is remarkable.....

Well I think the HD camp carries the day. We will leave the Download function permanently on HD going forward.

We have managed to find a kludge workaround to providing both HD and SD downloads.

Those needing SD files will need to email me and I will provide them URLs for download.

I will change the FAQ tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

Thanks for doing this Chris. I have the HD versions on the PC now and will be copying them over onto the Nexus this afternoon.
