Download a VOD/AOD media file

Update 08/31/2026

This guide explains how to retrieve the media on your device once it has been uploaded to your VOD/AOD space.

 

Introduction

  • When you upload a video to your VOD space, you obtain the link corresponding to the video's address on the server.
  • Most browsers, once this address is loaded, will "stream" the video, meaning the video will be played gradually without you being able to download the entire file to your hard drive.
  • If you have deleted the original video from your hard drive, you may want to recover it.
  • There is no direct access (e.g., via FTP) to the server hosting the videos.
