I can't watch any user videos in this new flash player, the stream either stutters to a point where I just give up or won't work at all.
It'd be great to be able to download or watch in another media player since I love what I've been able to see of the user-created video content on Gamespot, Aaron Thomas' video stuff and Jeff's Point Report.
Thank You:)

I agree to a point. Users may not want their content to be downloadable.... maybe an option for the uploader to allow it to be download or not.

I can't imagine why... Are there really that many user videos being uploaded to make any sort of impact on the GameSpot or CNet servers if they were downloadable?

Have you tried reuninstalling your flash or updating it? I personally think downloable user videos are bad because people will soon start plagerising other people's hard work, and I really hate the fact that people post gamespot videos on youtube. Like for example, someone before posted some video blog about anticipated games and some other person downloaded there video and posted on some other site where they insult the person about his topic and etc. What I'm saying is, this idea is will cause plaguerism from other's people work.

Some user videos are custom made by the user, and wouldn't want there video downloadable. I say no to downloading user videos.

Exactly. I wouldn't want someone taking my one NFS Most Wanted video I made and claiming as their own which they could easily do.

I dont agree with this.  If its something the person made themselves, then I doubt they would want people downloading it and putting it up on other sites (I know I wouldn't), but if there was an option when uploading the video that says "Allow users to download this video" then yes I would agree with this and say its an awesome idea.
