Selling downloads
Sell video downloads.
The buyer gets the file. Plan for that.
Selling a video download means the buyer pays and receives the file itself, to keep and play offline. It suits films, tutorials and footage people want to own. Once a file is downloaded no platform can take it back, so price downloads higher than streaming and offer both.

Who should pick something else

Four steps
before the first sale.
Export the download master
The buyer keeps exactly this file. Pick a codec and bitrate that plays on ordinary computers.
Set both prices
A streaming price for watchers, a higher download price for keepers.
Add a preview
A short free cut so people see the quality before they pay.
State the licence
Personal viewing only, no redistribution: say it on the page and in your terms.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can I stop a buyer sharing a downloaded video?
Not technically, once the file is on their drive. A licence in your terms, a fair price and a streaming option for people who do not need the file are the practical defences. Uncompressed On Demand does not add DRM or a per-buyer watermark to downloads.
What file does the buyer get from Uncompressed On Demand?
The file you uploaded, as you exported it. Nothing is re-encoded. Export the download at the quality you want the buyer to keep.
What happens if I refund a buyer?
You refund from your own payment account, and the buyer's access on uncompressed.io is removed at once. A file they already downloaded stays on their device.
