All those outside the USA who have been eagerly awaiting Doctor Horrible’s Act 1 should now be able to view it via the Official Web Site. If it doesn’t load, try clearing your browser cache and doing a forced refresh of the page (Hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the F5 key).
Enjoy!
Confirmed working from Aus. Hilarious. Thanks.

[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 9:59 amI couldn´t get it to work in FF3 even with clearing my cache but it worked in IE7. Writing from Sweden BTW.
And the musical really worked too!!! The girl is angelic, Dr Horrible is horrificly good and Captain Hammer is really a tool.

July 15th, 2008 at 10:29 amIf it’s not working for you and you’re running an anti virus program like Norton, try disabling it and refreshing the page.
[Reply]

July 15th, 2008 at 10:44 amThe flavor of Flash you guys use doesn’t work with Linux.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 10:45 amHere in the UK, it doesn’t work for me in Konqueror; I get a “This video is not currently available at this site. …” message.
Works fine in Firefox though.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 10:51 amIt works for NZ, but its taking forever…took me 3mins to watch just one…oh well might work better if I try to watch it again after the first time!

So worth the wait! It was really great. Spreading the word about it right now.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 10:59 am@Rich are you sure?
I use Linux + Firefox 3 and I saw it (and loved it).
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:01 amDoesn’t work for me in the UK. Also, iTunes UK doesn’t have the file. Oh, and the Hulu stuff wants to use RTMP in the flash which isn’t yet supported by swfdec (my current linux flash player), and the official client ain’t much use either.
Lots of fail.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:09 amI’ve watched it and it’s very cool! And it’s cool, that the people from outside the USA can watch it!
I like Doctor Horrible!
The whole project is very nice, thanks for it!
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:12 amThanks for the help, i disabled the firewall and it worked, its fantastic in’t it.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:14 amAfter all my patient waiting…(yeah right!) I was finally able to see it here in NZ! I loved it! Well worth the wait!! Now only a couple of days till the next installment!! And the waiting is just gonna get harder…*sigh*
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:24 amDidn’t work in 64bit IE but works in 32. If you are using a 64 bit Windows and it isn’t playing make sure you are using the standard IE instead of the 64.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:27 ami’m from the Phils and i’ve been trying to watch Dr Horrible the whole day. huhuhuhuhu still not working.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:38 amYay! Thanks for the fix!! Love it.
(Worked in FF3/Linux.)
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:40 amYep .. doesn’t work for me in FF3 with Linux, but with Opera it does.
To use the article’s spell : it’s birlliant!
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:51 am(forgot to say that I meant the “working in Opera but not FF3″ was when watched from Martinique (french ISP). Sorry)
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 11:54 amAmazing!
I want to buy the DVD…
When will be released?
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:01 pmAfter reinstalling Flash things got better

July 15th, 2008 at 12:07 pmWorks in italy! great
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:22 pmLiked the episode, wanted to download it with iTunes… but it won’t let me use Paypal without US bank (I’m from Canada).
Is there any way to get it downloaded and support the show at the same time?
P.S. Don’t send me links on how to create iTunes account without credit card. They already lost my business by being such a pain in the ass (I might note that this is my general experience with Apple, so I might be biased).
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:26 pmIn Australia. Is anyone else having trouble with it playing, mine is taking FOREVER!! Aaaarrrggghhh!
Please Help Me
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:29 pmStill no luck in CAN. Tried both FF3 and IE7. Disabling AVG 8 didn’t help. Only get a message from Hulu saying ‘This video is not available at this site’.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:46 pmDo you have a firewall running? That message seems to occur with some firewalls and disabling it helps
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 12:56 pmThat was COMPLETELY worth the wait!!! Thank you for addressing the problems, gods of this fansite.. and also the kind people at Mutant Enemy and Co who put this out there.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:09 pmcan’t get it to run no matter what i try. help for some canadian viewers who are desperate to see the show.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:12 pmHelp! Its loading, but it will only load while I play it, which means it keeps stopping every few seconds. And I’ve tried loading then going back to beginning, but it just RESTARTS! Please, I could appreciate some help. I’ve disabled firewall/anti-virus and cleared my cookies. This is soooo annoying and disappointing. Thanks for any help. (I’m in the UK, if that helps).
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:18 pmFrom Italy it works (runninf FF3).
I’m going to watch it tonight!
Thanks!
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:30 pmWorks in Australia. Was fast to stream. When is it coming to other iTunes stores? I would love to download it.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:32 pmFF3. Work from france. Waiting the buffer to be full though.
Thanks
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:41 pmconfirmed in israel. thats a great episode i cant wait for the other acts
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pmFar end of the australian pipe here, and it works, however, it’s so stop and start that I had to let it cache for about 20 minutes before being able to watch it. (We have school holidays at the moment, and very slow internet, so the internet is painfully slow at the moment during evenings.)
Is there a way to increase the cache size? When I tried to “Watch it Again” to show to the rest of the family, it tried to reload the whole thing again, it didn’t seemto keep it long enough to allow replaying… v_v And since we can’t get it on the aussie iTunes store, it’s quite painful…
But if nothing else, bring on the DVDs. (Please make them multi-region!!!)
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:46 pmThank you! It’s working from Austria. Great piece of work. I’m looking forward to the next acts.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 1:46 pmAfter 6 tries I managed to get it to load. Wonderful!! I loved it!
Now it’s back to “Cannot find server”
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:46 pmI can’t even get the page to load. I keep getting that f$%^ing “Internet Explorer Can’t Display the Page” message over and over and over and over. I deleted my temporary internet files, disabled all of my security and it STILL WON’T LOAD.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:48 pmat first it worked then i played it on mute just so everything will be replayed and i can have it watched straight without interruptions (pauses) however i tried to refresh it since my firefox closed on error. Now i couldn’t load the page. i tried to do the refresh as well again.
now its back to cannot find server 
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:49 pmDamn cool first installment, but Hulu absolutely sucks. How long do we have to wait for the DVD?
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:51 pmcould not open the page “http://www.drhorrible.com/act_I.html” because the server is not responding.

[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:53 pmStill won’t load for me in Canada.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 2:58 pmI can’t open it too .
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 3:01 pmI think it’s safe to say everyone is hitting the site pretty hard right now. (This is a good thing, right?) I am sure the traffic will ease up soon. (I’d love to watch it again myself.)
=D
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 3:04 pmYou misspelled “outside” in the post title, just FYI.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 3:48 pmHmmm… no luck so far…
Dr Horrible has apparently not yet reached the Swedish boarder…
I’ll keep trying!
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 5:06 pmSo thoroughly awesome, many thanks from Germany!
So, if we’ve learned one thing from this experience, I hope it is to pay attention to region-coding on the DVD. I will totally buy it to support the project, but I would also like to be able to play it…
[Reply]
July 15th, 2008 at 6:42 pmfan-friggin-tasitc!! cant wait for the next episode..

July 15th, 2008 at 9:48 pmI smell Broadway success. Poseurs in parkas as far as the eyes can see.
[Reply]
July 16th, 2008 at 12:30 pmI’m from Malaysia. It works great. Super Awesome Show!!!!
Many thanks Josh. Even in the country where software & movie piracy is rampant I’m gonna buy the original DVD to support the project.
PS : Dr Horrible kinda reminds me of Dr Impossible from the novel “Soon I will be Invincible” .
[Reply]
July 16th, 2008 at 6:40 pmWorked in Slovenia (FF3 on Linux/Ubuntu 8.04).
The girl is incredible. The songs are superb. I was a bit dubious during the monologue, but when the Dr. sang “with my freeze ray I will stop … the time” WOW!
I hope Dr. Horrible will put Capt. Hammer back in the toolbox where he belongs, and rule the earth with his lovely girl
[Reply]
July 16th, 2008 at 9:01 pmI keep getting the much cursed “This video is not available at this site” message. I am in the US, and I’ve tried every fix I can find.
I tried every alternate link suggested here, I emptied my cookies, I updated flash. I tried to patiently, repeatedly reload for a few minutes. I turned off all firewalls, I restarted my computer, I made sure I could play other Hulu videos on their site. I mainly use Firfox, so I tried Explorer. I left it alone and tried it the next day. I beat my head against the wall until the neighbors complained.
Nothing has worked. Nothing has changed.
“This video is not available at this site.”
Please, someone tell me the one stupidly simple thing I have forgotten to do.
Did my state secede from the Union? Are we Canadians now and no one told me?
HELP!

July 18th, 2008 at 3:11 amThis is most likely a problem with browser settings, in which the referer header is not being sent by the browser. The fix (for firefox) is:
Type “about:config” without the quotes into one of your firefox browser window location bars and press enter.
A long list should appear with a “filter” box at the top. In that box, type “referer”
The long list should now be reduced to one entry, which is called “network.http.sendRefererHeader”
If you are having this problem, the value for that line is probably 0 or 1. It needs to be set to 2 to allow referers for links AND embedded content (1 is for links only, 0 is no referers at all).
Double-click the line and type “2? (without the quotes) into the text box that pops up.
Go back to http://drhorrible.com/ and it should work!
[Reply]
July 19th, 2008 at 12:47 pmThanks for the suggestion, but I did as you said and checked that out and the value is already at 2. I even set it to 1, restarted Firefox, then set it to 2, restarted Firefox and tried the clip again. Nothing’s changed.
I’m completely lost here.
[Reply]
July 19th, 2008 at 8:45 pmWonderful, really impressed with how quickly you fixed the access from non-US countries (sorry to those who are still having problems) - it was SO worth the wait.
[Reply]
July 19th, 2008 at 10:39 pmHulu have blocked it again (from the UK at least). It was working last weekend. Idiots.
[Reply]
August 16th, 2008 at 9:25 amI’m in Australia, and unfortunately it isn’t working here at the moment….
[Reply]
September 11th, 2008 at 7:42 amIt is in fact *NOT* available outside the USA. When I try “Download on iTunes” iTunes informs me that “the item you requested is not currently available in the Dutch Store” and when I try “watch it right now” I get “We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed in the United States”, followed by two links, neither of which works.
Very disappointing. From somebody like Joss Whedon I would expect a more cosmopolitan and more technologically savvy outlook, instead of this annoying habit of thinking the world ends at the borders of the US and continuing to support the regional politics and DRM of dinosaurs like iTunes Music Store…
