Sounds like Zip is the only and best option when using Amazon S3 as I can’t change the .htaccess file for Amazon S3 files (at least I don’t think I can).
And giving clients instructions on how to change their browser preferences with one set of instructions that apply to every browser on every OS doesn’t sound doable.
Thanks – I’ll start using Zip files instead. Unfortunately this means I can’t use the same file for playback in a player on my website but ease of client download is much more important.
Thanks – but not sure if that answers the question:
My question is, what is the easiest way to give instructions or structure the download so that it is easy on my clients to download the video and save it to their hard drive?
Clicking on the link will let them play the video but it doesn’t prompt them to save it to their hard drive.
Can you try again
Thanks in advance.
Related to the OP – I’m trying to set-up my store for video downloads. I need to do pre-sales and then want to send out unique download links with the videos hosted on Amazon S3.
The Phase 1 and 2 above would get me close but when I email out the unique URL link, I have to generate a new one for each email address. If I send it to multiple email addresses, they all get the same download link and there is no point in sending out a generated URL with controls on download numbers – because they all share the same quota.
Is there a way to automate the sending of unique generated emails to pre-sales customers? I simply have to many and too many variations of orders to do it all manually (40-50 per show that I film and 15 shows)?
