    Default Ninjavideos - how does it work?

    Started using Ninjavideo a couple of months ago and it's fuckin awesome! But how is it they haven't been shut down? And how are they paying for all that bandwith? Just from the pop-ups and donations?

    I'm amazed at the quality of some of the shows... it's better than regular cable, but not quite as good as HDTV.

    LOL, I have no idea, they rock though, watched the Fringe premier 3 months ago there, dvd quality.

    Second best site on the internet, after Beyond of course.

    Yeah, I was looking at trying it out too. Are we sure that they're not using spyware?

    They're hosted in Amsterdam... NL has much looser copyright laws. Looks like it's supported by donations... bandwidth is cheap these days

    Not too likely, people were afriad of that so they switched from the downloaded helper to the browser applet. If they were doing anything shady we would have probably heard something about it by now.

    They're awesome for the TV shows but not so much when it comes to the movies...

    - Open the helper
    - Install Divx from their link
    - Install Java

    Then it should work...

    Isn't this the site that asks you to download some file and install it first? I ran into that at one site and booked it out of there.

    Before u had to download their Ninjavideo Helper and install it but they changed that due to hacker/spyware fears as Hakkola mentioned above, now its a browser based applet that you just click on and can watch the videos

    Still no luck with this thing.. Anyone using vista and firefox?

    IE won't work either for me though..

    >Click here to launch the NinjaVideo Helper Beta 0.2.4

    >You must click yes on the security dialog.

    ^I click the helper and it opens another window that says don't close it.. But what is the security dialog, where is that?

    I'm on vista and IE7. I had to update my Java and DL the audio codec for it to work, but it works.

    I'm also not using the windows firewall - I turned it off and have another one instead. Maybe that's it?

    Link to codec?

    Java installed, but DEP is still closing it in FF and IE.
