KB1249 - Allowing downloads of your Kaltura video

From time to time, you may want to allow your Kaltura videos to be downloaded as video files (MP4). This could be necessary if you need to host a video at another video host site (e.g. YouTube) or if you need to import the video into a video editing project.

(Note: The following steps should apply to Kaltura in both Moodle and Mediaspace. The terminology and user interface will be almost identical.)
