Re: Allavsoft Downloads Help!


 

I don¡¯t really want the entire class in in one video. When I go back to rewatch classes, I¡¯ve noticed I go back to specific topics. With the Craftsy app, I could go to the specific location for that topic quickly. Now I can¡¯t as easily but I¡¯d rather have to scan through an episode for that sort of thing than a whole class video. So I don¡¯t know that I can help you with that.?

Maybe reading that article again will have some tips on doing it. I scanned the parts that didn¡¯t apply to what I wanted and didn¡¯t really read the whole thing in-depth.?

You should be able to merge episodes into one class using video editing software later, if you want to. That is pretty simple video editing.?

As for the external drive thing, that article clearly said it was problematic. That is why I chose to clear up stuff on my hard drive and download to it and then move.?

The Merge folder might have to do with merging the classes. Why don¡¯t you experiment with it with one class? I didn¡¯t explore those settings in that Preferences menu but there are some options that seem to indicate that it would merge items. Beware though that it doesn¡¯t merge all your classes into one file.?

I found that the Merge folder had thumbnails for the episodes when they were downloading and once the .mp4 was created, they disappeared. I never saw anything in the Convert folder when I looked.

Just for your info - it only took me 2-4 hours on two days to download my 24-ish classes.?

That's exactly where it is.

I've paused all of the downloads b/c it's obvious that I may have a couple of settings that just aren't right.? I've entered the file location, but not on the screen you're showing, so I'll correct that.

Also,? I've noticed that even though I thought I had correctly configured it to download entire classes in one go, it's downloading individual episodes and putting them individually into the Allavsoft folder on drive C.? Then I have individual episodes instead of whole classes.? Big problem to fix there.

So I've got more questions:

1.? I think the best approach is to delete everything in the Allavsoft download queue and the episodes I've saved.? Then I'll have a fresh slate on E drive and in the software.
2.? Go back to square 1 to check all settings.
3.? What does it mean to "convert" and to "merge"?? Is that something I need to do or does Allavsoft do those operations on its own?
4.? Reassure me that if configured correctly,? the entire course should download as one entity that will play all the way through once downloaded.

I sort of understand what's going on with the process, but am very unsure of myself since its new territory.? Learning curve!

Mary.
