Has anyone managed to get any of the videos from the Olympic campaign? I have the bronze medal match but nothing else. I've searched torrent sites and found nothing and the videos are no longer up on 7plus.

You are lucky you have the Bronze medal game.
I can't find it anywhere :-(

Olympics.com - go to replays and you can select year, sport and country to watch.
If you want a copy for your own private collection then you'll have to rely on someone loading a torrent

Cheers Another Anon. I might see if I can find a way to screen capture from there lol. I thought I'd find a way to have every game of the Olympics and World Cup. Because FIBA puts their stuff on youTube I was able to do World Cup, and I got the 2016 Olympics but Tokyo has been a real struggle. I think the only reason I got the Bronze Medal game is because of Slovenian fans posting it.

I thought you would have ripped the videos from 7plus by now since you've raised this issue before and knew it wouldn't be available on the platform forever.

If you just select Tokyo - Basketball - Australia the videos come up
It seems like the definition and frame rate drops in the videos but maybe you know what to do about that.
If you can convert them into files that would be great for everyone I think

I won't convert anything but can check to see if any of the video ripper browser add-ons will work on the site.

I've successfully downloaded AUS-NGR using the "Video DownloadHelper" add-on for Firefox.

AUS-NGR - is that the pre-olympic practice game that got Cambage into trouble?

I've just added it to Chrome and it appears to be downloading games now. I'll be starting off with Aus v Italy - an absolute classic game.

Just be aware there are multiple resolutions to choose from. Go for the 1920x1080 option.

I tried a different resolution and it came out terrible lol. I'll try again with the one you just suggested.

"Go for the 1920x1080 option."

Ah cool. Just found it. Think I downloaded the wrong one initially. I've found it a bit choppy and there's no sound. I'm guessing the better one is working properly?

I wouldn't bother with anything under 1920x1080 because even at the highest resolution the video rendering isn't that great - the pirates do a way better job.
