Never say never - it's not that I *won't* ever download these vids, it's just that I'm less likely to do so. I won't download vids that are on password-protected sites if I have to email the vidder to get the password. I won't send away for vids by mail if they're only available on CD/DVD.
I won't download vids with grammar or spelling mistakes in the summary. I won't download a vid if there's not enough information. I won't download vids with crappy images/teaser picture. These may make me reconsider, since I think that it shows a lack of care and attention to detail, which doesn't make for a good vid. It depends how bad it is. Sentances like 'I made this in one day!' or 'I'm not happy with it but want to post it anyway (to get rid of it)' do not bode well for a vid, and make me less likely to dl.
I won't download vids that are in certain formats. (Examples: .wmv, .avi, .mpg) Pretty much only real media, since I can't play them. Everything else is cool.
I won't download vids that are over a certain file size. I won't download vids that are under a certain file size. This depends on if a vid looks good/is by a vidder I trust/was enthusiastically recced/what other file sizes are avaliable. I tend to download the largest file size, unless it's particularly large (50MB+)
