Are you annoyed and frustrated with Megavideo’s time limit? Don’t worry, I’ll show you how you can bypass that limit and let you enjoy watching your video or movie without any interruptions. Megavideo is one of the best and one of the most popular video sharing sites in the Internet. The problem about watching movies on Megavideo is that there is a 72-minute time limit and once you hit the limit, the video stops and you get this message:
Some movies are more than 72 minutes long, some are even 2-3 hours long so once you hit the time limit, you can’t continue watching the movie anymore. Sucks doesn’t it? Today, I’m gonna share with you a few methods on how to bypass the Megavideo time limit.
DISCLAIMER: These are workarounds suggested by other users. I do not endorse them and I haven’t tried all of the methods listed below. PERFORM THE METHODS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Method 1 – Work Offline
1. Open the video that you want to watch on Megavideo. Click the Play button and when it starts playing, click on the Pause button to let it buffer.
2. Wait until the video is done loading/buffering to 100%.
3. Click on Work Offline and watch the video.
Mozilla Firefox
- Click on File > Work Offline.
Internet Explorer 7 & 8
- Click on Tools > Work Offline.
[Remember to unclick the Work Offline button once you're done watching]
Method 2 – Block Cookies
1. Clear your web browser’s cache and delete cookies.
2. Block cookies.
Mozilla Firefox
- Click on Tools > Page Info.
- Click on the Permissions tab. Under Set Cookies, if Use Default is checked, uncheck it then select Block.
Internet Explorer 7 & 8
- Click on Tools > Internet Options.
- Click on the Privacy tab.
- Click on Sites.
- Under “Address of Website“, type “megavideo.com” (without the quotes), click Block.
- Repeat the previous step and this time type “www.megavideo.com“, click Block.
3. Disconnect your modem and wait for about 10 seconds before reconnecting it.
4. Continue watching the video.
Method 3 – Download
(You’ll need Mozilla Firefox for this one.)
1. Install the DownloadHelper addon and restart Firefox.
2. Go to Megavideo and open the video that you want to watch and click Play.
3. Once the video starts buffering, the DownloadHelper icon would start revolving. Click on the small arrow beside it then click on the .flv file and it will prompt you to save the file to your computer. You can rename the file if you want and choose where you want it to be saved.
4. Watch the video with VLC Media Player or Applian FLV player.
Method 4 – Illimitux addon
(You’ll need Mozilla Firefox for this one.)
1. Install the Illimitux addon and restart Firefox.

mykezero’s addon to method 2 works. block the cookies and then give 0 space for it save anything onto your machine.
I was timed out at 72 mins, and tried it, and it worked.
I had to refresh the page, and let the video reload, but no big deal.
since then, I have not had the 72 limit bother me.
block cookies, set local storage to 0.
thanks jaypee and mykezero.

Method 2 works, Blocking the cookies.
I also right clicked on where the video was playing,
went to settings,
local storage(3rd tab on the bottom),
and lowered the sliding bar all the way to the left of the panel,
then clicked the never ask again check box below it.
If method 2 did not work by just blocking the cookies, try this. this may have made my attempt at doing so successful.

I just found this article by clicking my StumbleUpon button, really great write up. It is all too easy to thwart sites that track and set cookies to determine how long a person has been on them, but the tip about blocking megavideo cookies altogether is excellent tip.

just do what they advise at project free tv–unplug your modem/router/gateway long enough to reset it. i have a 2wire at&t gateway and i unplug the power a couple of minutes. it seems to work if i first close all my browser windows too.
works every time.

None of these methods worked for me. All of the sites tell me there is no valid link, when I paste in the link to video I want to watch (the Top Chef Masters finale). I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong….does the URL have to change at all or something?
May 30th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I tried this method:
Method 7 – No More 72 Mins
1. Go to Megavideo and copy the URL of the video that you want to watch. (example: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=Q7UK1BVI)
2. Open http://megavideonotimelimit.com/.
3. Paste the URL of the video you want to watch on the space provided and click Watch The Video.
And low and behold – I did get the message that I had watched 72 minutes and was logged out.
:-(

Hello
I tried the method 1,3,5,6 and 7.
1: Did not work for me.
3: The files it downloaded didn’t start playing in the VLC or FLV player.
5: Didn’t work for me, got the same time limit message.
6: Didn’t work for me.
7: Worked, but the sound fell out of sync.
Will try method 4 next, when I get home. Don’t have access to the modem here.

Youtube also limits me when I upload videos but I wonder why other videos reach more than 10 mins…

@Dennis – What I meant was Megavideo was one of the best and one of the most popular video sharing sites. I’ve edited the post now to make it clear. ;)
January 30th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Most popular? Where was that study done?

@sylv3rblade – Yep, not all have that privilege. Btw, care to share with me how that’s done? Hehe :D

I prefer getting a month prem (that’s $10).
Yes, I understand that payment is not an option to most of us but seeing as I’m getting $200 a month from MU/MV, it’s not so bad. You also get a year of membership PER $100 earned :D.

January 28th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
