Both files also work nicely on my ancient WinXP computer. The old MPC-HC 1.5.2.3456 neither has problems using the internal filters nor using the external LAV Filters 0.69.0.85.
Tiny Player also plays both files using LAV Filters 0.69.0.85, it only gets the aspect ratio of the WebM file wrong (plays it with 4:3), but this is probably an issue of the player. MKVToolNix (latest stable version, but replacing the GUI with the old v. 10 GUI) also accepts both files. So I suppose that something must be broken at your end... Cheers manolito |

Right-clicking and saving the link results in a HTML file with .mp4 (.webm) extension. One doesn't even have to look at the content of the file, the small size should give a clue that it's not a video.

Right-clicking and saving the link on the top left will save a HTML file. The extension is HTML, cannot be mistaken for a WebM file. Clicking on the "Download" button to the bottom right is a different story. For an MP4 file this will really download the MP4 file. But for the WebM file this will open a player instead of downloading. This player just plays the audio, though. To download the WebM file you need to right-click the "Download" button and save the link. The weird thing is that this player which comes up for the WebM file does not seem to be part of the browser as it is identical for Opera and Chrome. Must be part of the GitHub website. Strange...

I meant right-clicking the links in the first post which I suppose the OP did.

Opera and Internet Explorer both save the files as HTML, and Firefox refuses to save the linked content altogether and issues an error message that the source file could not be read. So all my browsers with the exception of Chrome handle these links correctly. Last edited by manolito; 21st November 2018 at 14:34. |

And my downloaded files have the right extensions(.mp4 .webm) but there are some html-bytes in front of the files. Last edited by hubblec4; 21st November 2018 at 14:54. |
