We recently reported that the motion picture “Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration” about the life and legacy of Joseph Smith, is now available online at MormonChannel.org.
Today, a high-definition version of the film was added as a free download option.
This is the first full-length motion picture the Church has released on the Internet. It is also the first full-length Church movie available as a free download in several low-definition and high-definition versions (240p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p).
We invite you to share it with your friends. The upper right corner of the video player offers embed code so that you can embed the movie on your website or blog.
i want to know if i can download this video in spanish?
A definite improvement over the 1000K version provided yesterday. My thanks to you and those who provided the HD versions for download (especially the 1080p). I hope the demand for these higher quality streams is strong, leading to more of them in the future. I’d love to someday listen to the complete 5.1 mix for “Joseph,” so please pass that along as well. 🙂
David, this revised version is not yet available in Spanish. The original version is in Spanish, available on DVD. See http://store.lds.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product3_10705_10551_21235_-1__213523
It would be good if there was an indication of the size of the file that is being downloaded. I’m using Internet Explorer 8, and I have no indication of how much more their is to download or how long it will take.
The 1080p file is about 2.2 GB.
I D/L it and it will not play on windows 7 Professional.
All I am getting is a whole page of code.
I have downloaded and trying to play with windows 7 Professional. All I can see is a bunch of code.

I am a Turk.
is there the film in turkish? thank you
Sorry, but the film is not available in Turkish. To see the Church materials available in Turkish, go to http://lds.org/languages/tur?lang=eng
okey:( , thank you..ı watched in english but ı did not understand all..
I am looking for the 1080p download link. As of today (3/25/2012) when I go to http://mormonchannel.org/joseph and click on the down arrow (by the little picture of the movie), I only see one MP4 download link. The link says it is 8000K bitrate. But after downloading the file, the file size is only 177MB and the video is 320×180 pixels, which is tiny. The bitrate is 396kbps. Obviously, the wrong file.
Can you please update the file to the 8000K bitrate version? Also, where are the links to the other high and low definitions of the movie?
Thanks,
Doug
