Why would the ESL shut down such a cool feature?

First of all: We don't want to shut down this feature. We always liked how players used it to share their cool videos they shot or uploaded frag movies / scenes. But due to a change of policy at our partners, hiclip.de, all their contracts have been cancelled. Within the next 3 to 10 days hiclip will shut down their streaming service and so the videos will not be available any more.

That sucks, but how can I save my videos?

There are plugins for all common browsers to save flash videos. As most of the ESL users use Mozillas Firefox we give a short tutorial how to save your Videos with the Video Download Helper. Please have a look at the tutorial. If you have any problems, please write a comment.

Step 1:		Step 2:
Install "Video Download Helper"		Press "Install Now" to confirm
Step 3:		Step 4:
Restart Firefox		VDH is right next to the adress
Step 5:		Step 6:
Go to your videos		Start the video you want to save
Step 7:		Step 8:
Click on the VDH icon		Click "Download" to save it

Again, we would like to say sorry to all of you, who use the video upload feature. It was beyond our power to keep the feature or inform you earlier and we hope everyone had enough time to save the videos.

Kind regards,

Your ESL team
