Can I download on Mac?
Yes and No. Our downloads will not currently work on a Mac- we recommend buying the DVD. If you are running virtual PC software on your Mac like Parallels, and you have a valid Microsoft operating system, you should be able to view the videos and run the video player interface.
What is the Video Player Interface?
Video Player is ellusionist's PC-only interface which allows you to view all of your downloaded videos and gives you a bunch of free stuff too. The whole thing is completely free and widely used by more than 150,000 people around the word. You download it and install it to your computer like any other software.
It opens on your desktop when you want it to and shows you what magic shows are coming to TV, gives you the free newsletter every two weeks and free tricks and wallpapers for your computer!
How many times will I have to enter my Password?
The system is set to ask for your Password the very first time that you attempt to play the video. It is very important that you have downloaded the entire video before attempting to play it.
Why are these security steps necessary?
Ellusionist videos are highly successful and desirable. Due to the illegal, unethical trading of Ellusionist's productions over the Internet, we have initiated these security measures to cut down on such activity. This ensures that you'll be able to see even more of Ellusionist's DYNAMITE productions in the future we've got MUCH more up our sleeves!
Can I play my video on a different computer? What happens if my computer crashes a few months from now?
The specialized licensing process that Ellusionist's videos utilize only allows, by default, for playback on ONE computer. Once you play the video on one computer, the video will not be playable on any other computers other than that unit. However, if you save the file to CD after downloading (BEFORE playing it), you can load it onto another computer and play it on there and it will be registered for playback only on THAT computer. However, note that both computers (even the second one) will need to have Internet access in order to verify your password.
Can I copy the video to a DVD?
Yes you can, but only for archival purposes. You will not be able to put the dvd in your DVD player and watch it from your TV. If you want to do that, order the DVD version of our videos instead and you'll be able to view it while sitting on your couch.
How much free space do I need to run the Video Player?
Video Player requires 9 MB of free space to install; however, in order to download and play a full video on your computer, you should have at least 400 free MB. If you do not have sufficient free space, we recommend obtaining the video in DVD format.
