How to Fix a Broken MP4 Download
If you’ve ever had trouble downloading an MP4 video from YouTube, you’re not alone. In fact, plenty of people seem to have trouble with this particular type of file every day. Here are some tips on how to fix a broken MP4 download:
1) Try using a different browser. Some browsers are better at downloading MP4 files than others. If you’re using a Firefox or Chrome browser, try using those instead of Internet Explorer or Safari.
2) Connect your computer to the internet through a wired connection if possible. This will ensure that your computer can download the file as quickly as possible.
3) Disable any ad-blocking software that you might be using. These programs can interfere with how your computer attempts to download the file.
4) Double-check that the file you’re trying to download is actually an MP4 video and not something else. Sometimes people mistakenly think that an MP4 video is just like any other video file, but in reality, it’s a specialized type of file designed for use with YouTube. If the file looks like something else, chances are high that it won’t work properly when downloaded.
5) Make sure that the video you’re trying to download isn’t protected by DRM (digital rights management). DRM can make it difficult or even impossible to download videos from certain websites, which can cause problems when trying to transfer the video onto your own device for playback.
