See post 11 for possible fix! Photobucket Videos: DID YOU MAKE ONE? They are GOING!

[Freedom]

I just went in to find one of the videos I made in photobucket, and got this!

The Remix feature on Photobucket was discontinued on September 23rd, 2009. As of that date, the create and edit functionality was removed from all Remixes. Existing Remixes are viewable on Photobucket and off-site for ninety days. After December 22rd, 2009 existing Remixes will no longer be viewable anywhere, and all Remixes will be removed from Photobucket.
It is not possible to save or download your Remixes from Photobucket. Thank you for using Remix. Try Photobucket’s easy slideshow feature as an alternative.

I am NOT pleased, I just love my one video with "I'm Livin' it UP!" for a sound track. WHY can't I copy it somewhere? GRRRRRR

WHAT???????

Why can't they just leave them there or provide a way to download them? I have all mine somewhere on a CD but where in the mountians of CD's that I have? Catmandu is going to loose all of his! OH NO!.... Does he know?

This link should let you download videos from photobucket.

EDIT: Doesnt work with the Remix, Ill keep looking.

[Laura's Babies]

off to give it a try Blue, lets hope it works!

It did download it but now I have to download a program to play it... That's better than loosing it though. Thanks Blue!

There are many free converters out there to download, that is in flv format so look for flv converters.

The link works for flv files. Use VLC to play them.

It doesnt work for the Remix pbr files Freedom was hoping to save. Maybe Collin will see this thread and pull a trick out of his.....

So I found this info, but no solution as yet:

I don't understand much of the technical side of computing, and can't foolow much in those links above.

I had a thought over the weekend. I wanted to test it first, but haven't had the time, so passing this along anyway.

Remember, it is ONLY videos on photobucket which you created with REMIX which are at risk.

I was thinking if we set things up, use our camera with the video setting, and RECORD THE ViDEO RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN, we get a complete video, sound and all. Then we just upload THAT video to photobucket, it is no longer using the REMIX feature so it is fine.

It will take some testing with distance. And be careful not to breath too loudly, the camera will pick THAT up! (Yeah, I've done that!)

Charge up your batteries before you start, as it could be a few tries before you get it right, and you don't want to be almost there and have to stop for 12 hours while waiting for the batteries to recharge.

I really hope this works -- for ALL of us!
