Forum: feature_films Subject: downloading a public domain film - HOW?

I'm at a loss how to download a public domain film - for personal use when I go camping (and internet streaming is not possible). Can someone please give me simple STEP BY STEP instructions? Thank you.

Example:

On the right you see a box labelled "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS". If your viewing program can handle H.265, right click on "MATROSKA" and select "Save Link As ..." (in Firefox; other browsers may word it differently). Make sure to note and remember the directory (folder) where the file is saved!

If your viewer can't handle H.265, then download the larger derived H.264 file.
