Watch Videos On Megavideo For More Than 72 Minutes
Though there are several popular video sites where you can watch videos for free, many of these sites place restrictions on you watching videos, one such restriction in place is by the popular video sharing network Megavideo.
Megavideo restricts users from watching videos for more than 72 minutes, this in itself does not make sense since if the video is 80 minutes long, you will have to spend an hour before you can watch the final 8 minutes of the video.
The problem can get worse when you are on a shared network, sharing a single IP address that is used by many users. In order to get over this issue there is a simple hack, however we assume that you have a fast internet connection and can wait for sometime before the full video actually downloads.
To get over the 72 minute limit enforced by Megavideo, follow the simple steps given below.
Step 1: Open the video page you want to watch on Megavideo and play the video, after a few seconds of playing, pause the video.
Pausing the video will ensure that the video will keep downloading to your local cache.
Step 2: Wait till the entire video has been downloaded to your cache, this may take some time, so wait till it reaches 100%.
Step 3: This is pretty simple, you can use a video cache viewer tool to extract the video from your browser cache and view it fully without the 72 minute restriction. Of course you will also need a FLV player to watch the video using this method, we have you covered there, take a look at the Free FLV player which should suffice your needs.
Another solution that will work for Megavideo 72 minutes limitation, is to download the entire video to your cache and then switch the browser to work in offline mode, this will ensure that Megavideo does not track your IP address while viewing the video.
The fact that this trick will work is because, videos cannot be played without them being downloaded to user’s local cache, these tricks will help you watch videos from Megavideo without any restrictions.
Have fun watching those movies without distractions or restrictions.

Or, simply, download orbit, and download flash video from megavideo directly to your PC, wich actually I think is a better method.

I got a better idea. when you get the message, login to your router and reboot it (or simply power your router down and back up). This gives you a new dynamic ip address and therefore 72 more minutes.
It may depend on your ISP but AOL always gives a new one on router reboot.
I did it and watched about 5 episodes of terminator before getting bored. So you can just reboot the router after each episode to prevent midway disturbance…!

I think the bettter way to do this that , is to download the video from any video downloader like ORBIT or INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANGER ………through this way the video is download to your COMPUTER or LAPTOP ….& you can also burn it to cd……and make it a VCD..

Just unplug your internet router than plug it back in. This will give you 72 more minutes.

Unfortunately the solution in this article will not work. I tried it. I also tried using a download manager to download the video in order to watch it offline, but I have found that Megavideo is clever enough to discover to know that IP address you are using has consumed 72 (or 61 depending on where you’re watching from) minutes worth of viewing, it will stop the stream. You can watch the video offline but it will suddenly stop because the rest was not downloaded. I work around the limitation by using 2 IP addresses: My ISP’s and a VPN IP address. When I watch a video and it reach the time limit, I just activate the VPN which gives me another IP address and I carry on. Not everybody can do this, but that’s how I do it! Unfortunately it’s not free. Just search the web for “personal VPN” and see what comes up!

@Joseph – Yes several times the hacks and loopholes are fixed by the sites, however your solution will definitely work, however it is very unlikely that users will have more than IP to use.
