What is the difference between streaming and downloading? I love Gilad! I tried to load purple player once a few years ago and wasn’t successful- weird error messages.

I think Purple Player is a proprietary format. I know I can't play the Jessica Smith Purple Player files with my laptop video player. (Windows Media?). I can play downloads just fine with the Purple Player app on my phone and computer.

Oh my gosh!! I had no idea Gilad was still around!! Seriously he looks phenomenal. And I have to agree: he never ages.

I used to do these as a preteen. And I totally remember the terrible spandex bike shorts and leotards. But then, you always got to see Gilad’s tanned, ripped body while his tank top flapped in the Hawaiian breeze. His stuff isn’t trendy or flashy, but I think it’s good, solid calisthenic routines and low impact aerobics. And I feel it’s all modifiable.

I’m not sure I would do the workouts or not. But definitely keeping these in mind especially if they go on sale.

I'm certainly no techy but I believe w/ steaming you need some sort of internet connection but w/ a download you can save it to the hard drive of your device and then play it whenever you want w/out having an internet connection. Some services allow you to download and also to stream - Bellyfit is like that - you can choose to stream the workout or you can download it.

I think if you can download something and save to your hard drive or a flash drive you can likely save it to a DVR but that is beyond my capabilities at the moment.

I'm not really sure if you can download from Purple Player or if you can only stream. I bought some of Gilad's downloads (30th Anniversary Series) and I stream them through PP.

You can also get this on your mobile devices by streaming them. I know, not the same but you be surprised how many do this.

We will announce it if we decide to put these on DVDs.

Oh Bzar what a lovely response and so honest. They sound almost like they are sad to see dvds going away too.

Thanks. So it sounds like I could only download to my laptop but if I wanted to use my iPad, I would need to stream. Is that correct?

I hope they put them on DVD, not interested in streaming workouts.

I have a Michelle Dozois "download" on Purple Player, & I cannot download it further to burn to a DVD. I know virtually nothing about computers, though.
