Direct Video Download Links

These are provided only on special arrangement with our office; we do not allow the use of these in your own video players; they are for video SEO and for producing teaser videos for social video sites such as youtube *only*.

If you do use these videos in your own player, you will lose the chapter links on the player, video play tracking (including how much of each video was watched) and the ability to rebrand the player using css.

If you use these videos on youtube, vimeo, or a similar publicly accessible site you are required to put your logo on each video as a watermark throughout the entire video to prevent them being used by others. You may not upload these videos without doing this; if you have any questions about how to do this, please contact the office. Please encode your watermark directly on the video using video editing software; using an overlay method (e.g. youtube's channel watermark functionality) is easily defeated by javascript and video downloaders and not strong enough for the job.

Access the Video Links

You can access the video links on this page:

http://www.caranddriving.com/customer You will need to get a password from our office to access this page - note that the password is not the same as any password used to access our websites.

Click on 'Video Downloads' in the top banner to access the files.

The videos in this link are provided on port 81, rather than port 80 as is normally used for web links; accessing the videos on port 80 runs through a streaming video server, and will greatly reduce the quality of the video you download, especially if you are on a low bandwidth internet connection, since it will reduce quality to match the bandwidth available. Please ensure you use the port 81 links as these are direct file downloads and will be much higher picture quality. Depending on where you are accessing the video from, you may need to adjust your firewall to allow your browser to download the files.

Please remember that these videos are provided for you to download in accordance with our terms and conditions - please do not attempt to use them directly on our server.
