The Flash video
technology used
in this player
provides
excellent video
clarity while
reducing the
file size and
bandwidth use to
a minimum.
However, the
videos (Flash
version 8) will not
be viewable if
you do not have
Flash on your
computer. Most
computers have a
version of
Flash, but
versions lower
than 8 may need
to be upgraded
to view these
videos.
Click on the
button below to
obtain the free
Flash upgrade.
The player
requires a
broadband
connection to
run. It
will not run on
dial up. If you have a
slower broadband
connection or it
is early in the
day, the
video stream
may
be periodically interrupted
to upload video.
In that case,
minimize the
page
and wait a few
minutes for the
video stream to
catch up. The
streaming
progress is
indicated by the
thin black line to the
right of the
slider button.
The stop button
on this
particular
player may not
work until the
entire stream
has been
completed. If
you need to stop
the stream, just
click on the
List button in
the control
panel and select
another video
from the list.
We are
experimenting
with the size
and dimensions
of the video
files to find
the optimum
values for our
needs.
